NJE Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 As the title says really, I am just wondering if any of you good folks have used or own one and what are your opinions? I did a search but just seemed to come up with sale threads. I keep seeing them being used in studios and on YouTube vids of bands I like but interested to get some real world thoughts. cheers!

thodrik Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 It looks cool and sounds pretty good but there are lighter, more powerful and more flexible amps out there. However it looks cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJE Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 That’s the thing, I am only really interested because it looks good. Admittedly I don’t really gig and need much power if I do, so I am hoping my logic kicks in and beats my gut reaction of ‘that looks class’.

Jamesemt Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Kind of on topic... I had two mini AV reissue cabs that were ace. Light, loud and reasonably cheap. Wish I'd never sold them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonse Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 It's been my at - home practice amp for the last six years or so. Used every day, never failed to power up or anything. The only think I had to replace was the switch since I use it so often. Sounds great! My only criticism is that the fan noise is a bit loud but hey, turn it up!

Jonse Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) I've used the DI for recoding and that sounded good, but I'm sure I read somewhere that they were made to be miced up. Might have read that on talkbass. Ample power with the matching 210 cab for recording and at - home practice.

cdtabman1 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I've got one and I use it for home practice. It's great for that use, and I used it for a gig once with 2 of the 210 cabs. Was plenty loud enough. I'm starting to drool over the PF20T valve head, so I may sell mine in the future, at least the head anyway. And yes, it does look cool!

NJE Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 Cheers everyone, I won’t be gigging that much and mostly playing at home and the odd practice. The line in and headphone was appealing as well as the overall aesthetic. I have a 4ohm Aguilar cab which will pull the most out of it. I read about the noisy fan which could be an issue if I’m just playing at home but I have had some noisy amps before and it was never much of a concern. I might keep an eye out for a secondhand one as it’s less of a hit if it’s not right for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
