Really, are these both fine for bass? I’ve read the only difference is limiting on the bassist goes to lower frequencies and the gc-2 leaves them alone more. Can someone help me understand this? Wouldn’t this make the gc-2 better for bass if you want to smooth out peaks, retaining all low end? I...

Is there a voltage doubler that uses a single 18v output to make 36v exist? I’ve got a rusty box that wants 24-40v center + (which I’ll have to use a polarity inverter cable AND it only fits a specific barrel urgh) and only one available 18v port on my 1spot pro CS7. How can I up the voltage on...

I reckon you’re right mate cheers. All that’s left is that big ass orange one!

Couple of pedals on this board (Steve Terebecki’s) I can’t figure out. Don’t know the last one and unsure if that’s a mxr flanger. Clockwise from top left: JHS 4 Wheeler fuzz Tronographic Rusty Box Boss tuner FEA Labs dual band comp Xotic bass BB preamp MXR Flanger (???) Maxon AF-9 Chase...

You guys aren’t making this easier lol...

Cheers for the advice man. I reckon I’ll try the 500- it seems that it will suit my needs far better right now. One day I’ll commit to an old amp but for now I need something, as you say, versatile, light and with headroom.

Unfortunately a bit out of my price range! I think the 135 would be loud enough with a new cab (perhaps a fender neo 410?) and I’m a strong young lad so weight probably isn’t an issue. I just don’t wanna spend more cash on repairs if I can help it. The 500 could probably stand being thrown...

What’s the weight?

Planning on one day getting a new head either one of these guys probably. The 70's Bassman is coming in a little more expensive than a second hand modern 500. Is it worth the tube power section, weight and possibility of endlessly replacing and repairing parts due to being 40+ yrs old? Or am I...

Why do you care? I’ll use whatever gear I want to get the sound I want whether it’s a $3000 pedal board or just a tuner. No one has “gone overboard.” There’s this conception that you aren’t allowed to use expensive gear in whatever quantity if you aren’t a regularly gigging or recording...

I’m obsessed with his tone right now. I know he uses a rusty box and Traynor amps and a mad black 4001 or 3 or the P bass. Past this his pedals are constantly changing and it seems his tone varies slightly with each album. I remember seeing a photo he posted somewhere when they were recording...

In writing it sounds like a good combo hey! I’ll just have to try it out.

Thanks man. I’ve got a Rusty Box on order so I imagine I will be getting all the gain I need outa that. Another reason I’m looking at the 4 Stroke as it doesn’t have a gain knob (I don’t need one with a preamp pedal).

Hey y’all first post here. I’m liking the look of both these heads, both having features I want in one head at that price. Terror is obviously easier to cart around, has a tube pre and volume crammed in such a small chassis. The 4 Stroke is all SS but has a 300w version (I just don’t need 500w...
