    Sunn Beta Bass?

    With the right cabinet it will be loud. I used to use a Beta Lead for bass with a 215BH cab and it was loud enough with the volume on 2 to more than keep up with two half stacks and drums.

    Ampeg B25 with B25B 2x15 cab

    Nice! I have one of those cabinets but never had the head and wish I could find one. I love the sound of those.

    Sunn Coliseum Lead Conversion to Bass Amp?

    I've been using a Beta Lead with a 215BH for a while, and while technically a guitar head, it sounds fantastic with bass. Not sure about active vs. passive, as I play a passive Precision, tuned to C, and it sounds huge. Probably the loudest, most gnarly 100watts I've ever heard. Definately...

    Wah pedal that includes distortion

    I have an older Morley wah/distortion/volume unit, red letter, black casing model with buttons for distortion and wah. They work seperately or together, however the distortion is after the wah, so the two together aren't that impressive. I do run a green Big Muff in front of the wah. The...

    Russian Big Muff woes

    On my old green Muff, the same thing happened years ago, and its still that way. I stripped off about 3/4" of the insulation and place the wire over the post and plug the battery in. It works, but isn't the best solution. I have a replacement plug, just have to put it on. A quick splice is...

    Can someone explain the Gallien Krueger "Boost" knob?

    When I had 400RB amps I always ran the volume at 12 o'clock, boost at ten o'clock and used the master volume as just that. I always found the boost more affected by the first volume knob, as in the more it was turned up, the grittier the boost tone. The way I had it set with my 2x15 cabs it...

    Sunn bass gear?

    I'm using a 1975 215BH and 1979 Beta Lead and have zero problems with lack of volume or low end, playing in a sludgy metal band with two guitars each with 100 watt half stacks and a caveman drummer. I wouldn't say it gets particularly clean, but that's not really necessary anyway, it gets clean...

    Popular Doom/Sludge Effects

    Most of my sound comes from a P-bass and Sunn Beta Lead/Sunn 215BH cab, but I use effects, none of which are that expensive. I have an older Morley Distortion Wah, Sovtek Green Big Muff, Boss Phase Shifter, Boss chorus, Boss Bass OD, a cheap tuner, and an A/B/Y to run both channels on my amp...

    Bass cabs to pair with Sunn Coliseum 300.

    I picked up a 215BH for cheap a while back and loaded it with two Mojotone 150 watt 8 ohm drivers, but have considered installing two 4 ohm speakers wired for 2 ohms. that would be killer. The cab is huge, but sounds so good. I imagine two of those at 2 ohms with a Coliseum 300 would kill.
