just want to say , how good and sweet is to practice on the bg250 with mp3 player and headphones !!! they sound awesome and all i have is some cheap headphones but for some reason they dont get distorted at all and i stay up all night practicing without any complaint from sleeping family members ... i love my tc live at church and at home for practice ... it was between bg250 or gkmb and i dont regret my decision !!!

The TC-Helicon Switch-3 Pedal is the one that will for sure work with the BG250 correct? I could not find a Switch-3 Pedal anywhere made by TC Electric so I assume this is the one?

Thanks!

This is what I'm using:

OK, here are some pics I took while disassembling the BG250. As you can see,the 15 inch speaker is 3.2 ohms, which makes it a 4ohm speaker. As shown, there is a strong rubbery glue helping to keep the grill in place and 'keeping the rattles down' that makes removal of the grill slightly difficult at first. The speaker itself has NO writing on it at all.

I just picked up a used one from CL. I was looking for 12" combos due to my 4th floor walkup apt, but I really don't need another underpowered amp to gig with, and this was a sweet deal. This size/weight makes it just manageable enough. Hopefully will be room for it at the practice space.

Sounds great so far, will take it to rehearsal for a full volume run. Love the toneprint "Beast" for fuzzy garage tunes. Seems to keep some low end better than my pedal. Look forward to rocking it out.

My BG250 came into today! Rehearsal tomorrow.

Cool.

So, I'm curious what kind of deal you found on CL.

BG250 Day tomorrow.. UPS is almost here..

How did you guys remove the label??? I read someplace a guy said he removed the label but it also removed some of the paint when he did..

Oh and is it just me or did any of you notice on the TC BG250 page all the videos the BG250 looks like it has a pretty big gash right under where it says TC? LOL How no one caught that..

Just peel firmly and slowly. It's hard to imagine it taking any paint off unless it was just yanked.

I've just one thing to say about all the new arrivals....

mr sprocket · #**953** 02-05-2013, 11:18 PM

So I have had mine a few days. I am using it for a musical. I am loving the spectrcomp toneprint. I am getting some great thump. So far the loudest I have gone is 3 on the master. And that is in a large high school auditorium. Oh and 35lbs makes things some much easier moving.

himluis1 · #**954** 02-06-2013, 12:37 PM

puff father · #**955** 02-06-2013, 06:35 PM

BG250 tomorrow for church gig practice. Sunday church gig then practice for a Marti Gras party Tuesday night. I'd love to use it Tuesday but not sure about the venue, probably use the 4x10 and Thunderfunk.

fourtet102 · #**958** 02-06-2013, 11:21 PM

I love mine. get complemented on sound every time I get to use it (when i play through it in place of my another fave RH450 :-)

BassMorpheus · #**959** 02-07-2013, 12:06 AM

TBers,

As previously posted, I did a show with BG250 and I ran out of the DI to the board. No hum and no problems per the sound techs. I have learned they made a recording and I heard a small bit of it and the sound (post-eq ON) from the bass amp was A-MA-ZING! They did not mike the amp only DI to the board. I will get a track ASAP.

I think some of the problems TBers are having with the DI may be related to poor grounding, bad power in the home or gig locale. For the studio-philes, you have to remember how much you paid for the entire combo. If you purchased the BG250 for DI recording purposes, then be mindful of the settings for tone and pre/post DI switch.

We all get a POS from time to time, yet the BG250 is still moving lotsa air for me!

Kuroth · #**960** 02-07-2013, 05:39 AM

So just got mine last night..

Just curious what do you guys set the Master on when just at home for practice? I was worried I could only set it on 1 but I can set it up to about 3. At 3 some of my little trinkets on my shelf by my Amp start falling off.. LOL.. 2 seems to work best in my practice room..
