I set mine on 5 when practicing at home (when I first got it just to hear some thump).

Things were rattling but I thought all was good. Then I went upstairs and a glass vase was shattered on the floor.

When my wife came back from shopping afterwards:

"Looks like the shelf somehow shifted, honey. No worries though since I cleaned it up."

:D

Oh Dear.. LOL :D So what you practice on now? Still 5?
 
You need the mini type B, the 2nd one from the left. It should be a regular USB connector at the other end though. I think one comes with the amp, though.

Thanks for that.. Yes it came with one but its Very short.. I want one Where I dont have to move my Amp right next to my PC to use.. $5 on Amazon...

Ur right sir !!! the acoustic became a backup ... not for the sound or reliability but for the weight 100lbs !!! not too easy to move around ... its a good amp for the price that i paid but bg puts more volume less weight and i can get different sounds out of my bass combining tube drive n tone print !!! its awesome !!!

I wasn't disparaging the Acoustic, just found the picture humorous. I know a lot of people like them, you included.

All other things being equal, 100lbs vs 35lbs :eek:

I've said before that I really don't like harboring brand snobbery bias. It's usually not rational, but the association in my mind with Acoustic is as a "store brand" (Music & Arts Center in this area). I didn't have any real knowledge of the brand in its heyday.
 
I've had one of these since July 2012 and I've been very happy with it. I got it mainly for the small footprint and light weight to play in some of the smaller rooms that my band plays. Since then it has been the only set up that I have used. Indoor, outdoor, whatever. I probably would not go with this on a larger outdoor stage, but for beer gardens, etc. it's perfect. My set-up and tear down is about 10 minutes now and it sounds great! I will use it in March in a orchestra pit situation, it should be great in that application as well! These things are fantastic!
 
El Presidente,

You seem to be in the know on some things. Any ideas if they will be adding any of the bass delays to the 250?

I'm often taken for someone in the know...it's just how I carry myself :help:

Seriously, if you ever got that impression, it might have been something I said based on having a friendly relationship with a distributor. I don't know anything "inside."

Having said that, I'm not stepping down! Du måste bända presidentvalet USB-kabeln från mina kalla, döda händer!!!

Gotcha. If you hear anything....

Du har mitt fulla stöd. Om behöver vara, jag wiil biamp två smeder och flera 4/10 med tubedive på max och befälhavaren på 11 att hålla revolten händer!
 
Hey, how does this amp process external effects when also running a tone print. When I bought mine I sold my multieffects. Now I just fell I love with and ordered a source audio BEF. What I'm wondering is, without a effects loop, how will say spectracomp toneprint work after the effect input?
