JustaBass Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I have a question regarding this amp which i bought a while back. There are two dip switches underneath to change impedance...are there any blue rock owners that can tell me which position they should be in for full power...i.e 1000 watts @4ohms. I have enclosed a pic from talkbass the owner of that amp has his with the ON...showing...mine has the numbers 1 and 2 showing... I have a 4ohm 410 cab..and want to run it at its full potential.

Roland Rock Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I'll have a look tonight when I get the chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djc63 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 The manual says when both switches are in the on position the minimal impedance is 4ohms,both off it's 2.7ohms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustaBass Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) Thanks for replies i have looked at the manual but i may be being a bit dense...but does the ON position mean when its showing or do you move the switches up so the ON doesnt show like mine is...if its supposed to be as the talkbass picture then i bought it set up with the lower impedance setting which doesnt make sense. I want to make absolutely sure because i may get 3 8ohm cabs...the glock can run at 2.7 ohms so i think i can run those but dont want to fry my amp.

Roland Rock Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) Here you can see mine: [IMG] http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg580/christopher_brown14/rackbags/20161118_185157_zpsgrshfa0l.jpg[/IMG] It is set to 1000w @ 4 ohms and both switches (hidden by grille) are located up towards 'ON', and not down towards '12' (printed at the bottom of the switch hidden by grille) Both the labels 'ON' and '12' are visible at all times, and are never hidden by the sliders. It's very difficult to see both at the same time due to the metal grille. The sliders, as you look at my picture, are in the ON mode ie they are in the up position. Note the ON label is still visible. Edited November 18, 2016 by Roland Rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustaBass Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 Thanks Roland for your help...i took another pic you are right the switches are in the up position towards the ON...they could have made this a bit simpler with a switch on the back but hey ho.

M@23 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 A switch on the back would have been simpler, but then you'd be much more likely to have an accident and costly repair too! I still haven't really played with the EQ on my Blue Sky. It's such a good sounding amp with the EQ bypassed that I haven't really bothered experimenting on a gig. The combination of the Bass and Low EQ points was one of the features that I really liked the look of, so I should try it out! But, yeah; astonishingly good amps!

JustaBass Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 Your absolutely right....the core sound is great...what has impressed me about the eq...is its subtlety, you really can fine tune the sound without a massive leap or shift like some other amps do.👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
