tc electronic bh250 - new micro head! - Page 5

DonaldR · #81 10-25-2012, 08:23 AM

Anyone experience what feature(s) 1 footswitch (TS) and 2-footswitch (TRS) will enable? I'm planning on getting a BH250 and building a mini "fingerswitch" but will not need the mute as it's already on the head.

I plugged a 1 button footswitch in right away, hoping, hoping it would mute. It did mute, but you have to cycle 2 clicks to get mute and unmute. Or was it toneprint on and off? Darnit, I forget. But the click-twice thing was annoying, so I yanked the footswitch. Not sure what a 2 button would do. But I'm eyeing a 3 button switch just to gain a 2nd TonePrint option. Digitech makes a nice 3 button that I'm assuming would work fine. $32 at sweetwater. I'll let you know when I get it.

I use the Digitech 3 pedal switch with my BG250 and it works great.

synterx · #84 10-25-2012, 03:19 PM

cool. I like the build of the Digitech better.

I asked this question in bG 250 thread and dare to ask here. Is the cooling fan of bH 250 noisy? I don't play gigs anymore but play a lot at home. If you play, let's say barely audible

, is the fan running fast and noisy or it increase the rpms according to load? Yah I know quiet is a relative term but anyway.
Thanks.

When I power up my BH250 the fan spins up to max speed then slows down to a low rpm spin. Quiet.

I use this amp for low volume practice and I haven't noticed any fan noise. I hope this helps.

Anyone gigged the BH250?

synterx · #89 10-30-2012, 12:07 PM

I did. Once. But it was an awfully loud stage and I didn't even get a chance to hear what I was playing. But it hung in there with just one 2x12 8 ohm cab. It was cranked and didn't break a sweat.

Just used mine with my schroeder 1210L on a wedding job...jazz/oldies/etc... Plenty of power, minimal eq, and a bit of spectracomp sounded great with my custom shop jazz5. Usually use a Euphonic audio iamp800. Not so thrilled I with the bh250 on a jazz gig e night before though, Realist pickup on a nice Romanian acoustic bass. Just sounded muddy...maybe impedance mismatch? Brought the iamp in for the second set and life was better.

It also drives my acme low b-1. Definitely a keeper for practice, and low power electric gigs. Just not e greatest for upright bass....

Ok, drank the coolaid. I've had no reason until lately to question my LMII head. I had an Ampeg micro rig and used the Aux In / Headphone out for quiet practice. Since selling that, I've needed something with this feature.

Since I'm not using a rig live, I decided to sell the LMII (gonna miss ya buddy) and purchased the TC BH250. I found a MF coupon online for 15% off, so got it for $255 total.

dirgesp · #92 11-14-2012, 03:40 PM

Would this amp work for techy style prog stuff ala James Leach and Evan Brewer? I am looking for something in this $ range for jamming with some friends.

I just received mine a few days ago and gotta tell you I'm very impressed. I really like the tone of this amp and the TonePrint feature is pretty cool to mess around with. So far I'm liking the "Little bit of grit" and "compression in the mid" prints. Fun stuff.

It also sounds great a super low volumes. Great features, great price...winner for me.

Britbonic · #94 11-20-2012, 10:19 AM

Dunno maybe need to grab one.
Have been very unimpressed with the 250 combo at GC. I've played it several times.aynd coupled with a different cab it's a different animal.

jmain · #95 11-29-2012, 01:24 PM

I'm impressed with this mug as well. Dig the eq points and the tones. I bought it mainly for the aux in/head out but its a keeper all around. The Toneprint gig is cool too.

I bought it in the Holiday Rebate window, so need to send off for the FREE Chorus pedal!!

Red Planet · #96 12-01-2012, 12:19 PM

So quick poll. Who here that got one ended up getting rid of it and why?

aussietc · #97 12-16-2012, 08:10 PM

My new BH250 won't connect to my Mac and my toneprint app isn't working. I'm keen to try some new toneprints but can't seem to connect or beam. Any ideas??

Did you connect via wifi with you phone? You have to do that to load all the sounds.

aussietc · #99 12-22-2012, 08:18 PM

No good. Still not working. And ut doesn't explain why when I plug the amp into the computer via the USB, I can't import toneprints because it says it's not connected. 2 weeks and I still haven't heard back from TC Electronics. Not happy at the moment.
