Woodinblack Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Got mine today, seems pretty solid and appears to work ok. Don't get clicking on the compressor, or scratching on the volume. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get clicking on the compressor, or scratching on the volume. Result! I reckon the compressor issue is dependent upon certain input signal characteristics and may therefore only affect certain users. The scratchy pots might be down to a particular batch of pots so may not affect every unit. Edited December 12, 2022 by Sparky Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newfoundfreedom Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Yup. That's the tube version which seem to be going for silly money now. Maybe that's just a reflection of how good they are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's just a reflection of how good they are. That's nearer the proper price for an amp of that specification. We just got used to a silly price that was probably a result of G4M selling at close to cost to raise revenue in this incredibly difficult time for business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petecarlton Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Mine has just arrived - got in under the wire! It was so cold from the courier's van that I'm literally letting it warm up to room temperature before even connectng to the mains. Gives me time, I suppose, to study the typically skimpy manual. Fingers crossed re pots, etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petecarlton Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 So far so good - no scratchiness, no clicking comp. However, has anyone got any ideas of where I can find a suitable gigbag for this amp? I wondered what others are using... Any suggestions gratefully received!

stewblack Posted December 14, 2022 Author Share Posted December 14, 2022 I have two of them in one of these But as ever the cheapest option is a decent holdall or small suitcase from a charity shop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemmywinks Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Bass Direct lists dimensions and some compatible amps for the mixer bags they sell: https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Gig_Skinz_Gig_Bags.html I like the Gator bags if they have one of a suitable size. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burns-bass Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I read this and was about 12 seconds away from buying one, and then I re-read the psychology of collecting thread and didn't as I have a functional gig rig. These look like great amps and a good bargain (if you need an amp). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
