TC Electronic RH450, RS210, RS212 Review Thread

Status
Not open for further replies.
Got the RH 450 this week and tried it at a rehearsal.

It is going back to the shop as I simply find that the TubeTone is more less an overdrive and did not add the warmth I was looking for. As well, I did not like the compressor that much and was hard to adjust to get a good even tone to my taste.

It seemed well built but it does not hold up to the MarkBass products in my humble opinion with the warmth. I cannot get away from the two filters of the MarkBass ( VLE and VPF ).

I am leaning towards another MarkBass head at the moment.
 
I will definitely do that! I played this rig for about 45 minutes a month or so ago, and it sounded very warm. To me, the heads sounds very "tubey" as it is - add in a slight touch of "tubetone" and you are getting some very hip sounds...

I'll post more when it comes in!!!


Donovan

Donovan, I think you should do a lovely video review of it! Your F Bass vids are cool. Time to try out reviewing an amp! (A personal request - try to show/emphasise the difference between the cabs. In other words - persuade me to buy the RS212 cab!!)

Cheers man.
 
Does anyone here know who tc electronic's current 'go to' guy is re the RH450 program?

My inquiry is in regards to this:

"My TC Electronic RH450 amplifier died. Any users had problems?"

The amp's owner, 'mcnach', has gigs coming up.

Besides, I imagine that tc will want to do a post mortem ASAP on this now dead RH450 to find out what went wrong.

Thank you.

I am "mcnach", I just thought I'd give a brief update:

Amp dies Saturday night.
I write here and to TCE support on Sunday afternoon/evening.
Monday morning TCE gets in touch with me.
Monday afternoon a new RH450 has been sent to my local dealer, from Denmark to the UK. The dealer had sold all stock at the weekend.
Wednesday (today) I have my brand new replacement in my hands. Hassle free.

I'm still curious as to what went wrong. I hope they tell me.

Wow. That's impressive really. Thanks for sharing it.

Absolutely Stellar!:bassist:
 
I am definitely looking forward to that video. I've had my eye on these for awhile now... it will be great to get an EAR on them as well, particularly if you can run some Fbasses through them.

You know I will use F Basses! I mean, a great rig deserves the best bass available, right? :D
