Hey guys, a week ago I would have swore I'd never part with this fantastic combo... but I'm now convinced I need something more akin to the music I'm playing theses days. Our cover band is just playing more and more hard rock, and I want to get a plug n' play amp and cab that will give me more grit/dirt onstage... I'm growing tired of using multiple effect pedals to get a dirty sound.
Honestly, I want to keep this combo and just buy another rig to suit the flavor of the month... but I just cant afford it.
Details:
It is an 8ohm s212 cab loaded with neo 12"s and a high-passed 4" Faital mid-high driver (no crossover=no attenuator) combined with a Puma 500 (original powersoft version). The Puma puts 360 watts into the 212 and will put 500 into 4ohms if another 8ohm cab is connected to the extension speakon jack. Thermostatically controlled silent case fan, mute switch, great sounding pre/post EQ DI, effects loop/Aux in, Line out, tuner out. It also sports a 'taste' knob which is similar to the Markbass VLE and is very usable, as is the powerful transparent sounding EQ... an easy schlep at 47 lbs and louder than my Berg IP112/HT112 stack which it replaced!
Tecamp has created a very unique combo here that may not be suited to some players... having said that, it is
perfect for players (like me) who "hate tweeters" or predominantly play fingerstyle and dont have a need for gobs of 'sizzle' up to 20K. It is inherently vintage sounding but is still clean and pure. Overall, the tone is Deep, fat and creamy with that beautiful paper cone extension up to around 6-8k. It has been one of my favorite rigs to play through of all the gear I've owned!
The build quality on tecamp gear is stunning, and I baby all my stuff so it's in 9.5/10 condition, this is also thanks to the included Coveramp vinyl cover! FYI, I have also removed the casters and put on good isolating rubber feet.
These are $2199 new... I'm asking
$1600 shipped CONUS
I'm also considering the trade of any
Walkabout, BassTerror, Tonehammer500 or Streamliner +cash.
A few pics taken today to start this out... and the last one which shows the driver placement etc... thanks folks!
