barneyg42 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Don't know much about the head but seems cheap enough for back up or getting a cheapish rig together. https://www.andertons.co.uk/p/WTX264/bass-amp-heads/eden-wtx264-260w-mini-bass-amp-head?utm_campaign=161104-SPE-Eden&utm_source=emarsysemail&utm_medium=email&sc_src=email_854536&sc_lid=34019586&sc_uid=xC1Wb27tHJ&sc_llid=26381&sc_eh=12afac1f9c0ce0e21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twincam Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Are these not the seriously underpowered ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 (edited) Not a bad price, about £50-£60 off regular street price They are very low output though. Never really understand how some people's 'watts' are quieter than others, lol Edited November 5, 2016 by molan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leschirons Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Sounds like a good deal. Probably loud enough for 90% of what I do. As stated, bigger gigs, D.I out. Nice and light and compact and probably sounds great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barneyg42 Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 One of the reviews I read stated it would not keep up with Mr Rock Drummer and Mr 5150 so I wouldn't expect miracles. Looks good for jazz, acoustic type gigs or as stated with a PA to di to using it as a monitor. There's a 4ohm 112 Eden cab that's recommended to use with it.

sblueplanet Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I have this head with matching 1x12 4ohm cab and it can cope pretty well with a funk band including horns. I still run a line through the PA but it has a lovely warm tone, perfect for anyone into their vintage Fender tone and is light, compact etc. My head came with a bespoke padded case and I got a cab cover from Roqsolid. I liked the Eden tone so much I also have the WTDI pedal, which is pretty much the same tone in a small box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I did 20 gigs with a TC BG250 combo, which is less powerful than that (and another couple outdoor ones where it was DI'd) and didn't have an issue or need to turn it up to full, so it would seem odd if it couldn't keep up with a drummer as our group had one of those, and a marshall guitar amp. I guess if you were in a van halen tribute with a 100w marshal with everything on 10 it might struggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 As we know, amps like this are loaded with all sorts of power management bits and bobs, so you can't compare volumes based on watts alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Totally agree. From having tested both I'd say the tiny 200w GK MB200 appears to be a lot louder than the Eden. The most obvious example is the TC heads. The RH450 is only actually a 236w head but appears to sound a lot louder because of the, hard baked, compression in the circuit. So much so that TC decided to just call it a 450w output, lol.

solo4652 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Now £199 https://www.andertons.co.uk/p/WTX264/bass-amp-heads/eden-wtx264-260w-mini-bass-amp-head Very tempted to get one as a backup - should be loud enough through two Tecamp 112's for my 4-piece semi-acoustic jazz/swing/pop crew. Shouldn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MB200 is slightly more expensive but it's smaller, has great features and I've never heard a bad thing said about them. Just my opinion of course but quite a few people seem to agree. Frank.
