At least it did on the U500. One of the reasons I got rid of mine.

Man - you've had a bad go of things of late. You're all over TB telling of returning gear left and right. Seriously, just never seen a guy have such bad luck. My two major GAS attacks this year - player series jazz and Blackstar U250 are flawless - loving them more every time I play them! Hopefully, you can settle into some gear you can be happy with - for the long term.

On the Fly3, the Emulated out/Headphone out jack cuts out the main speaker when a jack isplugged in. The volume knob controls either's level.

I currently have the Fly3 bass pair.
I have the Fly3 guitar pair coming tomorrow.
I'd like the option to have the bass play through all 4, with he guitar going though just two.

The Unity120 is on my thoughts, but not for a while. Currently the 120 is the largest Unity available in Vietnam

EDIT: I've asked this guy. Invalid Link Removed

Yep - most people go through it at some point - I once had a run of bad gear luck involving EBMM, Mesa and GK all at once. Now there's three brands you don't normally hear about packing it in!

Things sometimes don't work out. It is frustrating after putting a lot of hard earned $$ to have the object of your desire turn out to be a lemon.

In other news - I am fairly close to pulling the trigger on the U250 powered extension cab to pair with my U500. The other thing I am considering doing is buying a second U500, and feeding it from the effects send of the first, into it's effects return.

I think you'd like the the fullness the 15 inch speaker would add to your rig - plus with extra 250 watts, you could get silly loud if you need it! I'd give the U250 a go first AND you'll save well enough to get a Fly 3! ;):thumbsup:

Kia Ora! Yeah based in Welly. Just getting back into playing after a 10yr hiatus (career and having 2 kids took over), then blew the dust off my old stack and thought to myself "Nah my back aye....". Plan was to Get a Darkbass head then 2x2x10's (vertical stack style) to start gigging with my bros again, but couldnt find a cheapish option in the 2x10 that could handle the head (from cheap, good and lightweight pick any 2 aye!) Long story short i think the combo amd ACT will do me for now. The FS12 is what will swing me i think, that built in tuner and ability to hit the comp on will be killer. I reckon i'll be able to affix a guitar keeper to the side of the full stack for the perfect compact rig! I've emailed Hotcover for a quote for covers for both, looking at the way my old gears Tolex has held up over the years, it'll be a sound investment.... looking forward to joining the club bro, just gotta move my old Peavey gear first so the wife don't kill me...

Bro, I'm getting some Hot-covers made for my rig, quick question, you have the FS-12/FS-13, what's the dimensions on the suckers? Getting pockets made for it and want to be able to chuck the footswitch in the pocket for the U500 and the FS13 and cables 'n'stuff in the pocket of the Ext cab. Blackstar site says: 336 x 37 x 73 (mm) for the FS-12, is this right? Does the high include the actual buttons? Sorry for the 50 questions mate!
