Only one thing to say

[jbd5015]

Im interested in the little guy as it seems like a great low cost head to build a small cab for. what kind of tones are you getting out of it? Does it break up and get dirty too quickly? or can you get it to stay pretty clean through the volume range? ive been considering getting into a B15, which is more powerful, but $$$$$$$ that i dont have.

cheers,

-Jeff

This is the way i like to put it..."Tube power amp attack has more presence to my ears than that of a solid state power amp".
Its not a scientific measurement, its a subjective observation.

Watts are watts, unless you live in Watts...

I have just started messing with it- you definetely need to liek the tube slight Overdrive tone to love this baby- Crystal clean it is not.

I'd say you can go from a nice Pearl Jam type OD to a full out Beastie Boys fuzz-rocious sound, easily. Definetely puts the hair on the high notes.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: When one watt, regardless of source, stops being equal to one joule per second, call me, because someone has broken physics.

Quiltkitty, due to many of the posts here, I believe violence IS the answer!

Obimark, please continue with your review.

Watts are watts...unless they're PEAVEY watts!

The new mini tube amps are awesome. My guys have recently went from half stacks with hundred watt+ tube amps to little orange dual terror heads. I've debated trying out some of the smaller tube bass heads but I still love my sans amp RBI

Not to de-rail the thread, but figured this would be cool... check out JAUQO III-X playing one of these Ashdown CTM-15's; got the link from Sweetwater.

Mesa watts are louder than Carvin watts...

Can anyone help me?

I find that my PF-500, (which is rated for 0.670 horse power) starts to sound very harsh when putting out only 0.50 hp.

Yet my B-15 sounds great all the way up to it's rated 0.034 hp.

Is there something wrong with the PF-500?

Did you know pineapples have more Ohms than Carrots?

 

[Tonegasm]

Trust me - I know.

I just had an out of body experience with a newly acquired Mesa 400+ (my first tube bass amp). I still can't believe what I heard!

I see what you did there.
0.67 HP = 500 watts
0.50 HP = 375 watts
0.34 HP = 250 watts

Pineapples are measured in kilojoules, carrots in dB. That's why.

 

[Balog]

Don't tell him dB is a log scale that varies based on what you're referencing it to. You'll blow his mind.

Oy, could somebody please close this can of worms and weld it shut please?
