la bam Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Yes, the hydrive 4x10 is a great cab. Very loud and punchy and much smaller and lighter than you would think. That's the same set up I had and it was really really good. The hydrive (usually) has wheels on it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silky999 Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) See now I’ve started looking at Ampeg SVTs......a 4 or a 7.....worth the hype or an expensive can of woe and misery? Should I reign in the GAS and stick with the LH or is there something else around the 800-1000w, maximum of £600 new or used I should go for? Finger style only for rock and pop. Got to be reliable. My head says the LH1000 and have change for a large 800-1000w cab maybe 611 or 810 to get most out of it but then I look at the Genzs, Mesas, Ampeg and the like and think blow the lot on a more expensive used amp. I’ve loved the sound of a Blackstar Unity 500 combo I had and I could get a new Unity 700 Elite head for the money but it’s not been on the market long so is it reliable??? I want classic rock grunt but able to clean it up a little for a bit of pop. My TC BH500 to me has the best of both worlds with the tube tone and I get the TC watts v. real watts argument hence wanting something with the possibility of a bit more oomph but I do like the sound of it. Apart from TC who is closest to that sort of tone brand wise? I am open to any suggestions or advice...

Cuzzie Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Genzler Magellan 800 Darkglass M900 V1 More suggestions will come I am sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silky999 Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 So I have decided to go with a Genz Streamliner 900 that a fellow BCer was advertising on here and hopefully NAD will be a week today. I think that will give me the tone I’m looking for. Thanks again for everyone’s advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
