The 1000 was the first tecamp I played and I had to have it. I like the warmth it has to my ears. First amp I really liked with my schroeder cabs also.

TecAmp S212/Puma500 Ultra Light Rig

I like the Mooradian stuff a lot. I actually use their amp bags (originally designed for the Walter Woods amps) for most of my small amps. I actually have the Puma in the TecAmp rack bag, which is pretty cool. The downside is that there are no cable pockets, due to the top cooling vent, but I just put the cables, etc. in my new iGig back, which is similar to the Mooradian in that it has a HUGE front pocket.
Yeah im very happy with the Mooradian, huge pockets.
Im thinking of asking Thomas to send the Puma bag, och perhaps just get an ordinary 2HE rack case. We will se. But putting it in a rack takes away the point with having such a small amp.

The rack bag is very cool. Extremely high quality, and lot's of protection. It's cool in that even though it's a very small bag, the Puma mounts into it just like a rack, with two of the rack screws on each side. It is a bummer that it doesn't have a cable pouch, since I like to keep all the stuff with the amp, but your front pocket on your Mooradian has plenty of room for the power cable, speaker cables and a strip or extension cord.
Highly recommended, and it works very well (i.e., high quality zippers that don't 'hange up when going around the corners, etc. like the Markbass 'rack bags').
I've become very interested in hearing people's opinions about the M212 and the L212, especially with the new ported configuration. I'm really digging the sound of my Whappo Jr, but I'd love for it to cut through a bit more like my AE410 does, and if it were 20lbs lighter, that would be wonderful too! Anyone have any experience with the M212/L212?
I don't think the new ports have made it into the M or L yet (although that info is a month old).
Ale.... is your new M212 front or rear ported?
That makes sense, and it was unclear last time I talked to Glenn (Austin Bass Traders) if the cab redesign was going to extend beyond the little 's' cabs or not.
It would be fun to A/B the new design s212 with the m212. I would assume the M212 will still have a bit more booty to it, and it's still light as heck and smaller than most 212's
Yeah, well the M212 is still a pretty large cab. But since its so light, its a joy to carry.
I think the M212 feels large because of its height, since the speakers are vertical placed. And i really dig that for the sound, it spreads better in the room.
I have not A/B'd, but as i wrote earlier, i have played the S212, and IME the M212 sounds a little bigger, not just in the low end, but its a little more open sounding in the whole register. Obviously because of the larger cabinet.
Now we will se if i keep the Puma Combo or just get a XS110 or 112 for the small theater gigs. Im lovin the 500 so far. First gig tomorow!

Off topic, sorry. I've been wondering how the iGig bags compare to the InCase (older or newer) Slims...
