The Acoustic Club

All,

Great to check back and see that the sky is still Blue over here.

I'm still Lovin' my newer Acoustic B600H, B410, and B115 (did the ol' catch and release with the B200H, I wanted it to be as quiet (buzzless when just powered up but not being played through) as the B600H. I've been told I may just be too much of a purest. :eek: Oh well.

Still also Lovin' an awesome yet much older ACOUSTIC Model 126 Combo (that fate put in my path not too long ago). :cool:

Special thanks to Stacknobuser, I sure more good things will be coming from your endeavors, looking forward to seeing that grow as well.

Welcome aboard Bubboa, wish you the best on filling some pretty big Blue shoes.

Vetching,
Patience is a virture. As I'm sure you know, nothing smells as good as a new car or... in this instance, a new amplifier. Especially when they were new, say back in the 70's!!! There was just simply something very special about that. Eventhough it may be a little longer than 3 months :D :scowl: (for me especially, $'s these days are a little harder to come by) I for one am still looking forward to it (the New ACOUSTIC USA 360 release). I know it will be something very special. Thank You in Advance!!!

Special shout outs to,
Zig, Thor and Owl


Play On! :bassist:

oh yeah, Ladyoftheorchis, who dug the B600H but it just was not "loud" enough for the band...I think getting another B410 and B115 will get you where you need to be (2 OHMS and Full 600 ACOUSTIC Watts), if nothing else, it will help keep you in shape moving them around all the time and should at least put a little scare :eek: :cool: in your (must be close to deaf by now) guitarists!:p:p
 
Hi all hope to get some info from you, I need a new amp, was looking on TB for info while looking for 1. thought I made my mind up on getting a Peavey but it sold before I got to it. Found another one friday nite, cool! Then I find an Acoustic B200H for $119.00! over $150.00 less then the Peavey!
So oh great ones! should take all the info I've read and take a chance on the Acoustic? Or should I spend my unemployment check and get the Peavey? HELP!!!!!:help:
Oh so you know will be using it an old 2x15" cab. you all really got me thinking Acoustic for now! Can always up grade later when I learn to play better and get a job. Right?

Acoustic > Peavey, but don't go hungry for the sake of an amp while you're on unemployment. Being a starving artist is very overrated. There will still be amps available after you get a job. Unless, of course, you need the amp for your job, which is a different kind of situation...

Shouts and hoots back to you Bassmore! The sky will ALWAYS be blue over here, as well as being LOUD!

FINALLY, after all this months, got the chance to rehearse full band with my 330 head and the funky 403 cab modified by the previous owner :bawl: (he got a local brand 1x15 300w, but the box has no mods so the result is a lot less acoustic):
100w keys and vocals system, 80w peavey combo at guitar and me.
With that combo the guitarist could go louder than I, but that happened at louder than sane levels. (the room we played is 8-12 square meters)

Had to put the 2 lowest EQ levers all the way down to kill the booming-ness (again: f#$&king custom cab, cant wait to DIY a proper cab, fearful anyone?) but after a lot of tweaking in the end of it was just awesome. Not quite the sound I was expecting (we make FNM covers) but nevertheless the greatest Ive ever had.

Friday we go live, I'll keep you updated :cool:
 
Question for you guys with the B200h like myself: Have you tried recording via the DI out? I've been trying to get the nice tone I'm getting live but it's just not happening. I was thinking maybe using the effect send. So if anybody's tried it an gotten good results, I'd love to know the settings your using.
 
Well it depends. I found the the b410 has a whole lot of lows, but I added an old acoustic PA115 that I bypassed the crossovers and replaced with a 15'' black widow and it just booms. I forget what GC is selling the 115 for but im pretty sure its less than the 410. Try it out and see what you think. It's really the best way to decide.
