Yeah I don’t want to lug an 8x10 around anymore for gigs. But that tone, air movement and punch is unmatched imo.

Good info thanks, I had an old school rat with the modded lm308 chip in it back in 2009, and that thing was insane sounded so good. Like a dummy sold it when the band broke up. I know the rabbit hole goes deep with this style of pedal.

Cool, good to hear it had good low end retaining. I’d throw a few layers of painters tape over that bright led. Would love to try a big booty Judy (thing sounds bonkers) but won’t have the coin for a bit.

They look to be Chinese clones, just very curious to see how they sound. Cannot find any clips on YouTube.

Nice! 100% recreation of the tube preamp section.

Nice there we go! Thanks Coreyfyfe! 🤘🏼 I know he recorded allot of the last few albums with an Ampeg b15 as well. (Makes me want to try this out but $565 ouch! But I guess allot cheaper than the real thing.

It’s Thrice. That shape has me thinking it’s a Quilter bass block 803v3

Not the greatest pictures but any idea what amp this is?

I’m pretty set on just budgeting for a used Mesa head. There are a few that from what I’m learning have different voices would be a good way to put it. Just need to dig deeper into their line and listen/watch some more YouTube vids on the different offerings. I guess id like to get the one has...

This sounds fun! The svt 4 pro had 3 pre amp tubes as well. (I’m not sure how they interacted with what within the preamp) I remember swapping them out at some point with “nicer sounding tubes” I played out of an SVT classic full tube head a few times from other bassists practice spaces and...

I really want something that has a bite and growl. I’ve played svt classics a few times and they are a little too rounded and wooly sounding to my ears the svt 4 pro was perfect sounding, that’s why I think I want something with a tube pre. I don’t think I needed all the features it had, was...

These look cool. I’ve watched a few videos on them. In the warm and tube modes they cut the power down to 450 watts rms I believe at 4ohms.

It is. True some companies don’t like to list the real rms.

What would you recommend in the 5-600 range?

Hey Pep, appreciate the welcome! I’ll check out the Mesa offerings. The Bugera is actually pretty affordable $469 new. Was thinking a used would be around $3 or so. But I’ll dig deeper into the mesa budget is a factor but if I could find a good deal on one.
