Ooof, that's a crazy nice pedal man. I like it, now if only I had 165 dollars.

Man, I'm mad I missed this thread until just now. Torche is one of my favorite bands at the moment. Really psyched to see his new cabs, but sad to see he got rid of the ampeg heads. What's that flashy glittery pedal? Probably something crazy I should already know about?

This makes me even more sad to live in the states.

Wish I could afford a wall of green heads and cabs. It would be so pretty. I found a sunn 2x15 that's 8 ohms, heavily considering replacing my hartke piece of **** with that, but I'm fearing the inevitability of never wanting to move something that big.

I'm playing in a psych-sludge/doom band in CT, kind of trying to get happier with my tone. Running a Tech 21 Bass XXL for fuzz, along with a Boss DD-20, a Boss SYB-3 Bass Synth for those times I really need a filter (hardly ever), Boss OC-2 and a Moogerfooger Ring Mod for the really noisy stuff...

That was rhetorical. I know how impedances work. Sorry, I'm new.

Mmm, it's my understanding though that two 8 ohm cabs would equal a 4 ohm load if in parallel, no?

I didn't pay too much attention, it was a used ampeg 4x10, kind of unnamed, it was kind of old.

So back to the topic at hand, I walked into guitar center today with the two guitarists from my band, one of them was looking at the telecaster thinline, and I brought my bass and fuzz pedal just to try out the heads they had in stock. I sat down in front of the SVT-CL that was plugged into a...

Thanks for the help, I'll let people know what I end up with, but for now I'm trying to hear out different amps and see what I like. I might bring my bass and fuzz pedal down to a shop on friday and try out the heads on a set up as close sounding to mine as possible and then just hunt for deals...

Yeah, I found a few threads about sludge/doom amps saying to try the sunn 300t/fender and the ampeg, however I then found a thread where PBG pretty much up and down trashed the fender/sunn in comparison to the Peavey. Ampeg is obviously ideal, but hard to pick up with my price cap, even used...

Yeah, I actually had the guy who's going to be recording/producing the sludge band come by our practice last night and checked out our amp tones and such, we talked pretty extensively about how we would record my bass, if we'd use my amp, we looked at the guitars and the drum kit. It seems we'll...

I know they're not meant to be fuzzboxes, but I finally tried out a few tube heads and just loved the sound of the fuzzbox pedal running into the tubes, it was 100% more like the sound I envisioned coming out of my bass than my current power amp/pre amp combo. I haven't tried out the SVT-2, but...

I play bass in two bands, and both of them are getting increasingly more serious this summer between recording and playing shows out of state. The one band is playing more of a sludge/doom metal sound with lots of psych rock and noisy parts, and I decided I really want to get a tube head to get...
