EBS HD350 vs HD360

[gimmeagig]

I just saw there is a new model the HD360. 4 part foot switchable ( I don't care) but they say it has more bass ( which I didn't know it was lacking).
So has anyone here tried the new model and how does it stack up against the HD350?

I haven't tried the 360 yet, but the older HD350 had quite a high rolloff of the low end, so maybe they just tweaked the HPF a bit...? wouldn't be a bad move IMO

The old HD350 freq Response: 35hz - 20khz.
The new HD360 Freq Response: 20hz - 20khz.

BUT the EQ pionts are the same:

Bass: 100hz.
Mid: 50hz - 3Khz.
Treble: 4khz.
Bright: 10khz.

???

Yeah It looks like it is just the HPF that has been moved slightly lower or maybe they changed the curve on it

those extra 10Hz probably aren't gonna make a huge difference, but IMO the voicing did need a bit of extra deep low end so maybe this has done the trick

I wonder how hard it would be to modify the old model?

Thats all the changes? I tought the new 360 had some sort of phantom power for EBS Pedals and some kind of switchable EQ or what.

The HD350 already had EBS TRS phantom power on the Input and Effects Return jacks. EBS' marketing calls out the following new features for the HD360:

Improvements & New Features

The new head features an improved preamp with better low frequency respons and (even) more head room than the previous 350 model. More new features include support for using a 4-channel footswitch, such as the EBS RM-4 to control Character filter, Filter Bypass, Drive and Mute, Mix-in filter for the effects loop and a Built-in Speaker Simulator for the XLR-output.

Sounds like they didn't break any of the things that make the HD350 a good amp, but the improvements certainly aren't anything to make me sell my HD350 to upgrade. Heck, the HD350 actually already had speaker simulator support for the balanced output, it just had to be enabled by a DIP switch on the back, instead of the front panel button on the HD360.

I’m close to purchase a HD350. So clearly the HD350 doesn’t support a 4 channel footswitch like the EBS RM-4. I guess I’ll just have to handle the pots and knobs just like I’ve always done.

Thx for the posts. Most inspiring.

The high frequency chosen in the HP filter for many EBS amps is clearly audible when playing a five string bass through a cab with deep bass. The lowest notes do not carry the same weight as through my LMII, for instsnce. With a four string, difference is minor.

I've played few times on EBS NeoGorm Combo. Someone told me that it's bassed on HD350.. Anyway,it was kick ass amp. Great tone.
