TC Electronic RH450, RS210, RS212 Review Thread

Played my new RH450 over the weekend at a gig. Great sound, although I did find that it is very important to set the Gain to not overload the preamp. I was clipping and it can be an unpleasant distortion. I have backed off a couple clicks and all is good. Unfortunately setting this parameter in your living room is not a good thing. I naturally play harder when performing live.

Oh yeah, the DI is killer!!

Three demos that were recorded using the RH450 DI can be found at Link Removed.

Wow, GREAT sound, John. Loved those 3 tracks, been listening to them over and over as I check out your band's site. What bass did you use? The Nordy?

Bag for the RH450 just arrived. Nice quality, and a unique design that brings to mind those 'bike messenger' bags. Lot's of room for cables and stuff, good quality, and a separate padded compartment for the foot switch if you use it!

I looked at the manual and didn't see ohms-specific power output ratings, just the terse 450(800 peak). But I'm interested in seeing a version that could drive fEarfuls to their full potential (like around a megwatt @ 8 ohms for 15/6). But I like the feature set and approach, just didn't know if I could recommend the current one yet for that.

I have not run that head at 8ohms yet, so will eventually post up. My guess is, it would not have the wump needed from the 8ohm 15/6. It's quite impressive at 4 though.

The general warranty listed on the website is 2 years for products purchased in the EU, and one year for products purchased outside of the EU. Not sure if that holds for the RH450 or not.

As a side note, one of the main reasons why I have not bought an RH450 yet is I'm still trying to spit the sour taste out of my mouth from a warranty issue I had with TC Electronic over a Konnect 24D recording audio interface. Based on that experience, I'd get TC to be very clear on the warranty, if it seems at all a little vague.
