I've only played one gig with it with an acoustic trio with no drums - two acoustic guitars and me on electric bass (fenders) and the thing kicked! I used my Bag End S-15D for a cab. The fan that was really loud at home was not even noticeable at the gig. The chicken head knobs are cool looking but the pots seem a bit loose feeling. The onboard tuner isn't bad at all .. way better than the one on the TC Electronic 250. There is no pre-amp clip indicator which kind of bugs me. That being said I checked out a Bugera Veyron (the mosfet version - I want the tube pre version) yesterday and loved the feel of the knobs and the switches on that. Very quality.
Yes, it does. I was kind of shocked to discover one in the wild and had to check it out. Really nice quality feel to it.
I prefer the Mosfet to the Tube Veyron but each are nice amps. If you are looking for a tone that's more like the MiniMAX by default, I think the T is closer to that than the M....
Hmmmm interesting .. I would think it would be the other way around... the Mosfet sounding like the MiniMAX, not the tube version.
Yep, got the MAX. Still playing around with the MiniMAX as I just got it less than two weeks ago. How do I like it? For finger style stuff with more of a vintage feel it kills. That's sort of what I'm mostly doing right now so it's a good match. For stuff where a more modern sound is required? It may take a little adjustment but it seems like the EQ & other functions can get you close if not all the way there. The fan is louder than any other amp I own but I'm not one that is bothered by that sort of thing much. There's a lot of value in the amp. Right now, I'm leaning toward keeping it. My plan was for it to replace my Ashdown MiBass 2.0. With it's overall performance, I think it's done that. If the MiBass had the power of the MAX and a few of it's other features? I may have never purchased the mMAX. Going home now to play it some more....
