Stub Mandrel Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 My elf had its vital stats taken at today's bass bash. Looks like a slight mid scoop. Warwick Gnome looked like the himalayas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were really struggling to fit everyone. But I think a 2x10 can could be placed there horizontally. That would mean there would be a Barefaced Elf in an Irish pub😁 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skin Lewis Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I've carried an Elf as a spare for some time now, and tonight I needed it big time - I was using a fairly new Markbass LM250 which was fine in soundcheck but crapped out at the beginning of the set. I hastily grabbed the elf, plug it in an hoped for the best. It sounded truly great with 2 Barefaced one tens. Very happy with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassAdder60 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Added the Elf today as a backup amp It’s a amazing little amp, lovely tone and very loud for such a small amp I like it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a thread on the Amplification forum about this and other amps and their in built EQ curves which gives a great insight into why this sounds great and seems very loud 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAdder60 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Definitely recommend this small amp to folk looking for a lower wattage head It sounds better than many bigger amps I’ve tried over the years For just over £200 it’s a bargain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAdder60 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) Took the Elf along to band practice tonight and tried it with both my ABM210H cabs Its loud enough and good enough to cover as a backup. It really is amazing little amp My main amp is the CTM100 or ABM600 Edited November 8, 2022 by BassAdder60 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ossyrocks Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 My better half bought me a Christmas Elf. Not had much time with it today for obvious reasons, but what time I did have was very interesting. How can such a tiny thing be sooo loud? It’s not just that, it has great tone too. It’s going to be my main amp, with the One10, for the jazz band I’m rehearsing with. Rob 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Peavey spent a lot of time and money to optimise their multiplication without creating heat so it could all fit in a smaller than believable box. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonky2 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I, by chance, demo’ed a TE elf head and 2x8 cab for stu zender a while back, he bought it to record his latest album he’s working on. he didn’t play but had me noodle around and slap with requests for this and that for an hour or so, said it sounded great. Said “even your mistakes sound good” hahaha ….. So, as the ultimate endorsement of this te elf gear, if it’s good enough for SZ, I say it’s good enough for everyone ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ossyrocks Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 ok. I've had some time with this little amp now. Whilst I love the sound of it, and its compact size, the fan noise is a bit too intrusive. How loud is your fan? I've had search on the net and it seems some are quieter than other according to various comments I've seen. I've also had a look at the fan itself, and it appears to be a standard thing used mostly in cooling 3D printers. There are various replacement fans available, some of which claim to be almost silent. Has anyone replaced theirs? Cheers, Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Mine is noisy but I only notice it at home; in a gig setting there’s plenty of other stuff noisier. In comparison the fan on the TE-1200 is whisper-quiet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fan has a variable speed that ramps up whenever you dig in which is annoying if you pay attention to it, I guess you’re stuck with that compromise with such a small fan. I had a first gen Orange Terror bass that was much louder however. I think for the elf it’s a compromise I’m happy enough to live with for such as small and powerful amp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stub Mandrel Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Too noisy for home practice, fine anywhere else. For home I use a Joyo Badass now, which is silent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la bam Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Put taller feet on it to aid cooling underneath, that'll help natural cooling which should mean the fan isnt needed as much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ossyrocks Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Update on my experience. I took it out for the first time today, jazz band rehearsal in a local pub. I never noticed the fan, and it was frickin marvellous with the Barefaced One10. Rob 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilly Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Anyone ever add a second 1x10 TE cab to their rig? Did it make much difference in tone , power? I imagine the addition of a second 8ohm cab will squeeze the full 200w out of the amp, just finding the single 110 a little lacking in low frequencies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downunderwonder Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 1 hour ago, Quilly said: little lacking I don't know what you were expecting out of the pint sized mini rig! Mathematically a 2nd cab is going to add a little and then some, but it's still only going to be 2 tens at the end of the day. Afaik Elf manages about 130w into 8 ohm, so not a whole lot of extra power, but the 3dB of extra sensitivity from doubling cabs can do a bit extra with it again. If you are seriously only lacking a little then I feel you would do nicely with the 2nd cab. If you are more underwhelmed than that you might be better off with a 12 or two. Never mind what other folks get away with using with their loud drummer. Everyone's drummer is loud. Some are louder. If you ever plugged in a second cab you should have a fair idea what to expect in your situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
