Aguilar Tone Hammer 350

#621
I have been using my TH350 with two SL112s for my Christmas run of gigs. Great setup. It's quite easy to get the desired tone with minimal tweaking. Which is a first for me and amplifiers.. Very happy with the setup!

I'm building a couple of 2x10 cabs with the faital 10FE200. I love the sealed tone and paired with the TH350, its punchy with a clean bottom end. Now the challenge is how to power two cabs with Tone Hammers for even more of a good thing! The faital driver is 8 ohms.

Options:
1. Wire each 2x10 in series for 16 ohms in parallel with 16 ohms for a 4x10 @ 8 ohms. At 175 watts I don't know if the little TH350 will have enough..
2. Wire in parallel for two 4 ohm cabs. Cable the second cab in series with the first for 8 ohms total. Same as #1.
3. 2, 4 ohm cabs. Two TH350s. I could use a Y cable from my bass to provide the same input to each TH350.
4. Same as #3, but no Y cable. Run the DI from one TH350 to the input of the second amp. Not sure this is possible and it might be tricky to match the output of the amps.
5. Sell the TH350, get a 2 ohm stable amp at 500 watts and buy a tone hammer pedal for that tone we all like so much.

This where we could use the TH slave amp that I and others have discussed!!!

Opinions? Happy New Year!

Sounds like the wrong speaker if you want to run 4 of them at 4ohms minimum.

If these are the speakers you are building around & you want to be able to safely and reliably run 4 of them at best efficiency then a proven 2ohm head is called for.

Running two independent stacks (2 TH350's) would work but is sorta clumsy to dial in at the gig.

You could go the ToneHammer di + power amp route. Honestly, I think the ToneHammer di and TH heads sound a little different. Both good, but the gain structure is different. I think the eq stack is the same, but it somehow sounds different in application to me.

Thanks, Scotch. It's a good sounding driver at a really low cost ~$50. F3 of about 60 hz in 1.5 cu ft box, and nice, tight bottom. Flat out to 4khz. 150 watts. Unfortunately, the 4 ohm version is not designed for a sealed enclosure.

90% of the time I can get away with a single 210 w/ PA support. Might make sense to pickup a back up TH350 and use it with one cab at home and the other rig in our rehearsal spot. Pick up a Y cable for the gig bag.

thanks

Anyone with experience driving a fEarful/nEarful stack with one of these?

I have the chance to get a TH350 used at a great price, but I understand that 175W/350W might not be enough to get these cabs going. I run one or a pair of Genz Uber Quad 12/8 cabs.

Just got mine hooked up with a (Monster Green) DB112NT. Definitely very happy with this setup - powerful, clear tone with great eq adjustments. The input pad is really useful for home playing, to get more adjustable range out of the master volume, although my Stingray sounds great without the pad.

Will eventually add another DB112NT to complete the stack, but this is already a great, robust, compact setup. This is a really popular pairing, and I can easily see why.

Cool, I use a TH-350 with two monster green DB112NT's, absolute thunder ! See post #618
Just the one for rehearsal and small gigs but with two, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts for sure...

Fun stuff eh ?

I just re-read the entire thread after getting excited again by this fantastic amp :)
I'm in a new band where I get to use some OD/fuzz, push the volume harder and crank the drive and gain knob a lot more than I can in the funk/jazz trio I play in, which I tend to keep a cleaner approach, maybe a little drive.
It's such a versatile and loud little sucker.

I also just ordered the Aggie bag from Jason at Bass strings online... Excited !

I'm about to trade a Mark Bass 250 Blackline 1-15 combo in for a TH-350 before my 30 days are up at Guitar Center. Paid 500.00 plus tax for the Mark Bass combo, so it will be an even trade.
I was wanting to know if I have to have a Speakon cable for the TH-350, or can I just plug a standard 1/4" speaker cable into the Speakon jack on the back of the TH-350 like I can on the back of the Mark Bass combo?
