Musicman20 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Ok, I wont ever need an amp with this power, but TC have just stated the Blacksmith is getting released at NAMM. 1600W at 4 ohms. Much larger amp, more for very large bands id imagine.

fretmeister Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Big bands need less power in an amp. They have monster PA systems. Just no need for it anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just more fun.. if someone else is carrying your 8x10 :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 My most powerful set up was the Rig of Doom V2 2600W (Yamaha P series power amps) Would the cabs have taken it.... not a chance! Anything over 3 or 4 on the dial and they would have been shagged. And I couldn't really lift it either!!! ah - the stupidity of youth! Now I have Markbass.

Also, Blacksmith + 2 Vintages is possibly cheaper than a full set of explosives and diggers for quick demolition of a rehearsal studio.

Musicman20 Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 It is ridiculous/ace, and if it truely is that wattage, and 2 ohm capable, then it will be stupidly powerful as my RH450 outperforms all the other micros Ive tried in terms of wattage and ommph, (honestly rated watts are great!). I would never need such a rig, but If I played for Metallica I would want two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dood Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I wonder if the Blacksmith will have a 'Staccato 51' voiced version out too - in red no doubt! ;o) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocco Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I like it but I must point out that my SVT-4 Pro has 1600w of power and is too much, hense downgrading. I fear this may be pointless, but then the best things in life are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I wonder if it supports daisy-chaining like the rh450... As it stands I've decided 2 rh450's is superior. Or and rh450 and a classic would do the same actually or a staccatto. Or all 3!!!! 3 tc amps daisy chained = max capacity of 9 x(4x10) mmmmm......

Kiwi Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 With this and the EB Gamechanger...does this mean that manufacturers are starting to run out of ideas for useful improvements that they can make to products? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
