I always turn off the preheat first, I read something somewhere once that it made more sense that way round but buggered if I can find it now!

What’s incoming then?

That’s exactly what I did with the RM800. Sold the first one when money was tight, eventually came back to the RM500 but then swapped it out for an 800 because I prefer the power section. Volume-wise there’s not a lot in it but it just kicks better IMO and feels more like a class AB which is why I love it so much.

Good news

I am! The music playback isn’t half bad at all, the bass works great, the recording function is dead easy and works perfectly latency-free. Very happy with it for the price. Not sure the wife is as happy with me making noises though....

@Muppet - here you go sir

My B-Social has arrived. Impressed with the sound quality from bluetooth music playback. Bass noodling to follow, along with looking at how the grilles are fitted for @Muppet

Noice!

Yes. Yes it will.

Pictures please....

I'll take a look tomorrow when it arrives and let you know

I've got the same but with white fascia arriving tomorrow 😎

What cab have you gone for? A 6x10 with the same clothing as the CTM?

I’m out too. It’s Mark Gooday’s fault.

What a wonderful set up. Love it all

Looks badass on the Mini 48

Love it. Remember seeing the line drawing for this when I was picking up my Funkmeister last year

Lovely work both of you! Great amps

I’m slightly run down cafe with sloppy inconsistent servings and the apparent demeanour of a lion who’s been disturbed from his sleep, though actually I’m more like Tweetie Pie.

🤣 should I be offended or worried that I’m so transparent 🤣 The Spyder 550 is a superb amp, absolute bloody wonderful. I just couldn’t justify that and an LB30 and an ABM and a CTM100 and an RM800.... I don’t have enough gigs for two amps let alone 5. If money were no object I’d have another in a heartbeat. Anyhoo, in other (related, honest) news Mark Gooday found three B-Social amps today too, and they are going for a bargain price. I k is there was a lot of negative press on her about them when they launched but the price point of these three is really bang on I’d say. In fact I say so enough to have reserved one 😳

The whole spec at the bottom of the page is wrong... White hardcore aged finish? I think not

I was considering the LB550 but realised it makes no sense: My RM800 does small, light and loud and the drive circuit does a very good valve-esque bloom My LB30 and CTM100 do valves, neither are particularly cumbersome. My ABM has a valve drive circuit in the preamp which sounds pretty good too. I have no gigs even without lockdown. Don't therefore need a small light loud valve-preamped head. Can't believe I'm being sensible. Oh well, off to look at some bass guitars instead. Sanberg Lionel, ACG, Marooooschick etc here I come.

Not received the email myself Probably a good thing though 😂
