[quote name='basskit_case' timestamp='1349102005' post='1821798'] I don't appear to have the option to add the new drive and compressor toneprints to my bh250 straight out of the box. Does the firmware for the BG250 also work with the BH250? [/quote] How are you updating your tone prints ? I am using the app for the android phone to do mine. there is a specific set for the BG/BH amps. the list includes the drive and compressor tones and they all seem to upload fine to my BH250. The BH250 has the newer firmwear already installed so you dont need to do the firmwear update. Did you get yourself the footswitch too? I did and that lets you togle between two tone prints. What cab/ cabs are you putting it through n what do you think so far. I am loving mine

my ultra lite rig very deep pretty loud and sounds good (imho) tc bh250 tc rs112 and my floor tuner (the amp has a built in tuner but my eyes are so bad i need the big floor unit ) [attachment=119506:P9180018.JPG] i can carry everyting in one go now

[font="Times New Roman"]i have just read some of the posts in this thread, I am now of the opinion that most ppl have very little idea about the things they post. As for the names used to describe the various pots, i have to say dose it really matter and (although i didn't read all the posts) non of the posts recognised that the tone shaping stage has a strong effect on the gain (or attenuation) of the gain. Anyway that's not really important, basically to set up an amp for input level and out put level [/font] [font="Times New Roman"]Step one set all tone controls to mid-point[/font] [font="Times New Roman"]step Two set output (volume control ) to zero[/font] [font="Times New Roman"]Step three set input gain control to zero[/font] [font="Times New Roman"]step four set pad switch to passive setting irrespective of whether the instrument is passive or active[/font] [font="Times New Roman"]step five plug in instrument and set volume to full and tone to mid point (if instrument has multiple pickups remember to chose the hottest pickup)[/font] [font="Times New Roman"]step 6 turn on amp (assuming the amp has a clip indicator) play a scale as you do this slowly turn the input gain control till the clip light starts to come on[/font] [font="Times New Roman"]repeat with higher and lower scales till you find a good average position (if the clip indicator comes on before the mid point you may need to engage the pad switch)[/font] [font="Times New Roman"]now turn the output volume control to the desired level[/font] [font="Times New Roman"]slowly adjust the tone controls (a small amount at a time) checking the clip indicator as you go and increasing or decreasing the gain control (a little at a time) [/font] [font="Times New Roman"]remember you should repeat this every time you change your instrument.[/font] [font="Times New Roman"]if your amp dose not have a clip indicator then you have to use your ears and listen for clipping (distortion) and adjust back from this point just a little.[/font] [font="Times New Roman"](or bye a better amp)[/font] [font="Times New Roman"]as i said its not what you call it its how you use it that matters[/font] [font="Times New Roman"]n just for the record[/font] [font="Times New Roman"]A 3db increase in sound pressure = a doubling of the perceived sound but only in the main part of the audible frequency range i.e. extreme bass and treble frequency's are perceived as less loud even at the same spl as mid range frequency's[/font] [font="Times New Roman"]A doubling of output power = an spl level increase of 1db[/font] [font="Times New Roman"]i.e. a speaker with an spl of 93db at 1w measured from a distance of 1m will double in perceived volume when the out put of the amp reaches 8w to double the perceived output again would require 64w to double it again would require 500w giving an output of 99db a 1000w amp would only increase the output to 100db[/font] [font="Times New Roman"]doubling the number of speakers is a the way to go as this increases the sound output by 3db and 4 speakers would increase it by 6db[/font] [font="Times New Roman"]basically what I'm saying is if you want louder get more speakers[/font]

My new rig BH250, foot controler and RS112 Landing L1 (you never heard of Landing, check there web site [url="http://www.landingbass.com/L1%20pic%2011.html"]http://www.landingbass.com/L1%20pic%2011.html[/url] ) [attachment=118720:P9180019.JPG] [attachment=118721:P9180020.JPG] [attachment=118722:P9180018.JPG]

I have just got the new BH250 head, with the foot switch and teamed it up with my RS112 cab. Its F**king awsome Give me Grit n lots of it !!

I just got the BH250 head, well chuffed, pretty much same as the amp in the BG250 but without the tube drive. Tone prints are brill. this thing is very loud through my RS112 cab (my home/small gig rig) cant wait to hook it up to my stack and see how much noise i can make with 8 speakes and the drive tone print turned up, I love a bit of grit

I got my BH250 from Absolute music in Poole yesterday, Its awsome!!!. Got the foot controler too and teamed it up with my RS112 cab for an ubber cool home rig. And for thoughs who whant to know, yes you can load two tone prints so pedal dose MUTE on buttun one, turn tone print on/off is buttun two and buttun three togles between tone print A and tone print B. I have tryed most of the tone prints now. some i like some i love and i can see myself playing with them a lot. After first evening of play i have ended up with the the drive tone print "The Grind" and the octaver tone print "Dirty Octaver" on the amp, i love a bit of grit. If anyone whants to have a go and your near bournemouth just give me a shout
