thedontcarebear Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I must sound my appreciation for this amp, I borrowed Geoff's tonight for a gig along with his Ampeg cab, and it's the first time in a long long long time I've heard myself on stage properly (and therefore been able to play spot on, well, mainly spot on!!) If I get my broken Eden refund sorted, I may have to find me one of these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Mwahahaha, have I got you hit by a gas attack? I have to say after hearing your jazz through it, im even more exciting about recieving my JM4 now. Nice playing by the way, that funky number near the end of the set was really good.

thodrik Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 The TD650 is a kick-ass amp, tried it once at a gig with the Proline 4x10 and was very impressed. I ended up getting a Fafner in the end but only because I thought I didn't need the extra features of the 650. That said the Fafner II, with all its new bells and whistles, has got me quite excited!

thedontcarebear Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 Is a Fafner pretty similar sounding then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I think the Fafner is more 'tube' sounding and possibly has a slightly grittier sound from what I can work out. Get a Fafner and if you dont like the sound i'll swap it with my TD650 haha. I was really torn between the Fafner and the TD650 and went for the 650 as it seemed like it was more versatile.

I saw the GB website listed a limited gold one, haha. Let's just hope that paypal give me the cash back! My cab is here too, so if you ever want to rock 2 cabs to look awesome you can borrow it! If Middenhelm ever do a video, you must do this. Edited August 7, 2009 by thedontcarebear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can just about dial in the same kind of sound on the TD 650, but as the Fafner [i]looks[/i] more like a rock head, the difference in sound appears greater than it actually is. That last sentence didn't make much sense sorry! Anyway, lots of HiFi sounding slap guys have used the Fafner too though, so it is pretty versatile as well, though probably not as much as the 650. But for me, both heads sound great, the Fafner has the looks and a (slightly) grittier sound and the 650 has the features and versatility. I don't need the features though and couldn't be happier with the Fafner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im surprised that Amon Amarth dont use that head, as it has the viking runes on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sshorepunk Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Td650 is a great amp, I had one for a long time,sold it for a lightweight option and ended up getting another 6 months later Sounds great with 2 proline 4x10's!!! May go neo 4x10 next though Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedontcarebear Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 I am getting an Aguilar instead, which if I don't love, will probably be back up here for sale in a few months when I've saved more for an EBS! But hopefully, the Aguilar will be equally as awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
