    Aguilar TH500 Overkill for a Practice Amp?

    Could just buying a small mixer achieve the same effect as having a built in headphone jack and input? After you mentioned it, it would be nice to have a headphone and input for quiet morning practicing. I think I'd enjoy a Streamliner over the Markbass big bang although I can't find that...

    Aguilar TH500 Overkill for a Practice Amp?

    Never even considered that. But that might save some cash over the long run. But I wonder does an amp consume continuous wattage or only what you're using.

    Aguilar TH500 Overkill for a Practice Amp?

    I was doing pretty well until someone started talking about other Amps with more features! Genz Benz streamliner looks and sounds pretty awesome. :D

    Bergantino NV158? ???

    Would this make a good cab for recording? Just wondering since it has two different sized speakers in it. Would that be a problem or would you just have to find the sweet spot to mic it?

    Summit Audio TD-100 with Awesome mod!

    Half rack. They have a whole series of half rack units you can use together to build small channel strips. I have the 2ba-221 Mic/Line Preamp and it sounds awesome. Always wondered how this unit compared to the one I have.

    Aguilar TH500 Overkill for a Practice Amp?

    Using it as a DI "pedal" is pretty much how I intend on using it with my current combo until I can pick up a cab to go with it. I don't really need an effects loop either. Only thing I worry about is wattage, but I have a feeling by the time I'm worrying about volume I'll be able to easily...

    Aguilar TH500 Overkill for a Practice Amp?

    Final question Ken :D Have you ever tried hooking two 12in cabs like the HD112s to the 350? The 210 is pretty temping due to the price, but I'm thinking one 112 now and one 112 later might give me a little more low end. Sorry for all the questions! You've been super helpful. Although I must...

    Aguilar TH500 Overkill for a Practice Amp?

    Also the AE210 sounds pretty great as well, but doesn't look like they make them anymore. Probably getting a little off topic, but how do the new CN series compare to the AE or even the HD speakers? I'm kinda leaning toward the TH350 at the moment given my priorities and the fact that I...

    Agreed! He seems to pop up in almost every thread I've read in the amp forums so far with great advice!

    Aguilar TH500 Overkill for a Practice Amp?

    This cab is me dreaming a little bit. I like the idea of a single cab solution for some old school meets new school sound so I found it intriguing. But not sure how realistic it is for me to be purchasing one. (I found one thread that said $900 bucks shipped, which would put me out about 5-6...

    Aguilar TH500 Overkill for a Practice Amp?

    I think the higher cost is my only hangup. I can afford to get my first cab sooner if I get the 350. I usually prefer to buy something that has more application in the future, but unfortunately that means a month or two delay in getting a cab to go with the amp head. Probably be worth it in...

    Aguilar TH500 Overkill for a Practice Amp?

    This is something I was also wondering about. I mostly plan on running this head into one cab at 8ohms until I start gigging. It sounds like 350 is enough for this job. Does it even matter how high the cabinets max power handling is? Are some cabs more hungry than others. I was thinking...

    Aguilar TH500 Overkill for a Practice Amp?

    Great advice. Not sure I need that FX Loop as I only have one pedal at the moment. I'd wish I lived in an area where I had access to check out some of the higher end gear. There's not much in my area except the most standard of standard fare. I have an Aguilar pickup and an Aguilar...

    Aguilar TH500 Overkill for a Practice Amp?

    This is unfortunate, TH500 has two fans which I'm assuming would make it louder. Does it just sound like a computer fan? I keep seeing conflicting reports some say it's loud others say it's not. I wish I lived in an area where I could try the amps out unfortunately the closest place is at...
