Looking into a new head and came across one of these guys. I'm in a metalcore band, we're tuned to drop C# may eventually make the leap to drop C. How will the head do with that type of music? Im a huge fan of bands like Asking Alexandra and In Fear And Faiths tone and wondering if this head will be good for this. Also, will the 1000 watts be too much for the SVT610HLF? |

Great head, BTW...probably the best non-all-tube amp I've ever played.

Go for it if you have a method of lugging around a 6x10 cab.

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: New Jersey | | | I played my first outdoor gig with the 7PRO/610HLF setup I have last night and the rig really did a great job. I let the bassist for another group use it instead of his small combo and he said its the best sound he's ever gotten out of his Fender Jazz, a really sweet sounding 90's MIM, BTW.
My tone came through just the way I intended. I never pushed the volume past 10:00 with the gain set at around 2:00 and it was plenty loud. the sound guy did not even push it to the house system even though we were hooked up to it. Wondering how much volume is too much for the cab with the mismatched wattage rating but I doubt the rig would ever need to be pushed that hard in most situations.
As a reference, we are a 4 piece group with two guitars and a powerhouse drummer playing various styles of original rock from ballad to very aggressive. We play loud but everyone is more concerned with balancing the output instead trying to win a volume war.

I'm surprised this has not been asked yet...............
You state that you already own the cab - What head were you powering it with before ?
If you already had a decently powerful amp for the cab, throwing more wattage at it may not be the answer to getting louder - adding additional cabs is.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Planet Earth | | | ok so...with an amp like this, would the VT Bass Deluxe be a good pedal for more tones? or would adding this pedal kinda screw up the sound, or add another flavor to it if you want? | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
