Just got my B200H with the B115 cab. I'm really liking it!
Question - do any of you run an electric guitar through your Acoustic amp rig? If so, what EQ settings are you using? I've been messing with my Strat through it, and like the clean tone, but find it a little muddy when distorted (horn is off...when the horn is on and I run OD in front of the amp it sounds pretty bad). Would a 4x10 be better suited for regular guitar frequencies? I'm really contemplating selling my electric guitar amp in favor of just using the Acoustic setup for both regular guitar and bass.

I dunno specifically, but I'm guesstimating that it'd still be kinda muddy overall, what with the amps being voiced specifically for basses and all.* If there's a GC near you, why not go in and test-drive the setup there? If random 14-year-olds can wander in and play thousands-of-dollars worth of Les Paul while using a quarter as a pick (true story, BTW), you should be able to see if your thought is workable...
* on the other hand, there is the '59 Fender Bassman 410 combo that guitarists claim as their own...
Any one have this rig?
Acoustic B200H Bass Amp Head and B410 Bass Speaker Cabinet
I noticed that the B200H is rated at 200W into 4 ohms. What is its rating into the 8 ohm 410 cab?

Ah...wow...I totally misread the question. I concur, the B200H is estimated to be about 140W at 8 ohms.
I also have another 470, a 405 and a Reverbrato, which aren't pictured. Please add me to the acoustic club - it was the deciding factor in finally signing up for a TB account.
Yes I do, but hardly ever have to. The combo by itself is freaking way more than enough.
I also sometimes hook my Little Markbass combo pictured in the same pic up to the 115 as well.

I have the same exact rig and I love it!!!Here is an updated picture of my B200 and B115

how's the B200h handle the 4-10's and 1 15??....I have the B200 combo and the 1-15 cab and it can crack concrete!!!...and knock a few thngs off the wall...;0)My amp set-up. B200h with a B115 and a B410 cabs. Performs
great for classic rock and the drummer doesn't step on me!...

@scottm and Rich - did either of you try the B200/B410 cab together? I thought I was going that way until I got my Ampeg, but am still curious as to how that setup might work.
Well, had my first gig with the Acoustic B600h. I paired it with an Eden 210xst and 115xlt, both 4 ohm. You want to talk loud? I cant believe how punchy it was and how well it cut through. Did I mention it was loud? Just a really nice tone.
I'm quite happy with my $250 investment.
