Thunderfunk 750/800 - Full Circle!

I own and play several class d's but still have my T-Funk. They are awesome amps!

 

I thought Dave Funk was MIA these days?

 

I've been on my second TFB-750A for the last 5 years or so. I will never sell it. There have been a couple enticing all tube options in the boutique world, but it will be an addition to the amp stable.

 

Only amp I regret selling is a Gibson gb440

 

For whatever reason they aren't popular now but I feel they are one of the best amps out there, when the craze of Class D amps fade the TF will still be playing strong!

 

You've gotta learn to drive the EQ section properly to really appreciate its potential.

My Thunderfunk 550 isn't going anywhere.

 

My TFB-420 isn't going anywhere.

TFB-420 and a pair of EV 15's and I'm in hog heaven. That pairing just gets into power supply sag / compression right where things work right with a moderately loud drummer.

I gigged a Thunderfunk through a fearful for six years, and that rig was a chameleon able to adapt to whatever the voice was I needed for the different work at hand. Not a super loud rig, but enough for the stage, and the DI out of the Thunderfunk is top shelf.

I usually gig tubes these days, but the Thunderfunk is at the best I've had in a solid state product. I hurt mine years ago through some stupidity on my part, and Dave sent me the full schematics and "x-ray" shots of the circuit boards. With that documentation in hand, I'll be able to keep it running as long as I can find parts if ever needed. If push came to shove, I'd pick up a SWR as a parts donor.

 

I don't want to hear this, man. Like I need another thing to blow money on, hahah.

 

So I will have a TF 550B coming next week from another TBer. Never owned one but always wanted one. I'm planning on pairing it with two 8 ohm EV12Ls. Cant wait to get tp play it, wish it was here today.

 

I got my TF and man is it powerful, I'm through with class D amps.

 

I'll just add that in using 2 different TF 750's, from the year it was released(2007?)-2010 and again 2012-now, I've never had a single issue between the two amps I owned. That's probably close to 600 gigs and not a single issue. It's easily my favorite solid state amp of all time.

 

I gig a magellan and like it but, no class D hits like the thunderfunk, eden and other lead sled amps. Its a fact.

 

I agree with this 100%. It's insane to me that people think that any Class D amps are comparable.

 

Agreed!

 

Agreed, Ive got a TE Elf and a GK MB500 Fusion both great amps but the Thunderfunk is one bad mofo and mine is the 550 B.

 

Almost $2000 to get a Thunderfunk now...plus canadian $ conversion and import duties....$3000 canadian

 

yeah they used to be a lot cheaper. i recall the price being comparable to the old yorkville XS400/800 amps. kicking myself for not getting one then. not worth the current asking price for me now.

 

I've been really pleased with my Magellan 800 but would love to hear a TFB-800 with a Noble for that added tubey goodness.
