Sign in to disble this ad
I currently have very 'tubey' sounding amps. One of them is a full size AD200b, and that is a great great tone.
The other is the Genz Streamliner 900. Again, great tone, and its definitely got a tube vibe to it.
The last is a little inbetween, and might be the amp I should use instead of buying another. The RH750.
Sometimes, I find myself missing the Markbass clean/relatively uncoloured tone. I could plug in and leave it flat (not that its a dealbreaker).
Will another Markbass amp bring me back into that tone Id like to add, OR, is the RH750 more than likely doing everything I need without needing another amp.
The options I have are:
Markbass LM3
Markbass F500
Genz Benz Shuttle 9.0
Shuttlemax 9.2
The Max is a little large for me...in addition I dont need another high wattage head.
Am I best just using the 750 and probably realising there is hardly any difference?

I had an LMII before I got the Carvin and the Carvin was in no way a downgrade from the LMII , just a different sound . I wouldn't dismiss them because of the lower price .

The Euphonic Audio Micro is quite clean. Weighs 2.25 pounds. According to the specs on the back of my amp, it's 550 watts @ 4ohm and 350 watts @ 8ohm. I carry mine in an iPad pouch. Very nice, extremely effective. Here it is sitting atop an LDS 12/6 cab. I use it with a SIB Fatdrive for ultra clean tubey tone.  |

The RH750 is a very very cool amp. I love it. I dont 'think' its that voiced once you open up the tweetertone to allow a fairly modern sheen to the tone, but the simplicity of a LM3 is calling me...yet again!
