Reggaebass Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 That’s a nice looking amp Merton 👌 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassmanPaul Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 (edited) Make certain sure that the amp will actually work on 240V 50Hz before you plug it in. A lot of amps aimed at the US market are not. If the amp will work on on 240V it will say so near the IEC socket. There may also be a switch that will need to be changed to allow for UK mains.

Already had the right fuses ready to go and flicked the switch before doing anything else 🤓 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyBass Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 @Merton you lucky boy! I am really looking forward to the video review you will be uploading here shortly 😉 I pulled the trigger on a GK Legacy 800 this afternoon so I'm not as green with envy as I should be. Actually no, I am green with envy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBass Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I occasionally practise through a Barefaced One10 and my Elf. They really are a good pairing. I bet your Two10 and the new 1200w Trace are going to sound sublime. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet your Two10 and the new 1200w Trace are going to sound sublime. They really do. So far it seems to prefer passive basses but that just needs a bit of tweaking and I haven’t really got enough time for that right now. It’s a good start, the natural tone is more musical to me than the “EQ at 0” on the Glockenklang but it will take time to work out if that’s just “new amp syndrome” kicking in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got two Barefaced Two10 cabs so we can do decent A/Bs with any amp people choose 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassmanPaul Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Gawd! I'd love to be there to share both memories and ideas. I think it would be a pile of fun! I've not heard of the like here in the Toronto area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not heard of the like here in the Toronto area. So organize one yourself Paul. I live fairly far from any urban area but several people from 4 hours or further away showed up at many of the ones I put on. I even flew to the other US coast for one, although it wasn't the only reason for that trip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassmanPaul Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 On Talkbass there is a gentleman who I was fond of called Passingwind. I got kicked off the site for trying to warn people in the US what Trump was trying to do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
