@aaronperelmuter84334 ай бұрын
You’re joking, right? This is nothing more than a cut-down GT-1B + amp + speaker, alll housed in the same cabinet. And unless I’ve been on Mars for the last few years, when did effects ever get “advanced”? There’s literally NOTHING new with regard to effects for years and years now. Ever since pcs started getting so much easier to use for instrumentalists, you can just about create any effect you 😂desire. Plus, you can pretty much do that already with the GT-1B for many years now. Save your money and just get a decent amp and cabinet if you already have the GT-1B. You’ll get nothing whatsoever added no much removed if you get rid of the GT-1B and replace it with this combo. Do yourself a favour and get a nice little MarkBass combo or similar and you can’t go wrong.

Wonder who's the target audience for this thing. 160 watts is too much for a practice amp, and too low for a stage or band rehearsal amp, class AB or not. It's not particularly lightweight, either. The 80 watts one is even more puzzling. Are these studio amps or what? There's a ton of bells and whistles in it, but I've yet to hear a digital bass amp which sounds good from the get-go without fiddling with the controls, like, say, an SVT or a Portaflex.

the band Earth used one of these live and they're a LOUD band, one of the pioneers of drone metal. They always mic up, though. If you're playing a venue that won't allow you to mic up into their sound system then that sucks for you. It's definitely loud enough for band rehearsal, too. These days you really should look into using smaller cabs and just mic'ing up. It sucks having to lug around massive cabs everywhere. regardless this amp is for solo practice and recording on your PC. It's for the solo artist/hobbyist mostly. I use one for my guitar, sounds great.

@@nicknickson3650 Idk, out there we rent the rehearsal studios and the rule of thumb is "anything below 200W won't handle playing with a moderately loud drummer."

As for a lightweight rig, I'd take an Ampeg RB-210 over this any day of the week. Playing live you'll DI out anyway unless it's a very small venue without PA.

@@nicknickson3650 here, nobody brings their own amplification, everybody pretty much everywhere plays through the venue's PA. There's usually a bass rig on stage for monitoring and sound shaping duties. I'm not talking about whether or not can you gig with a 110 combo if the monitors and the PA is there, because you can. You probably won't hear much of your amp onstage, tho. And I've recently played through an 115 Ashdown 180W combo DI-ed out to PA (which well could be a class AB device, cause it's heavy AF. Sorry I couldn't find the specs for its power amp) and standing next to the drummer, a meter from the front of the amp, I couldn't hear myself playing with this thing turned all the way up to clipping. If not for the drummer's monitor I'd be bummed. Also, the wiki says the class D is more power-efficient than the class AB, so I wont't buy this whole "AB is a lot louder dude!" until I'll try it IRL. On top of that, what about the rehearsals? You're gonna rent a rig for these, too? Unless you're renting the studio complete with gear ofc. So, this thing leaves me puzzled as for what's its purpose is. It won't work as a stage monitor and it won't work as a rehearsal amp cause it's likely too quiet, and for home use there's too much power. Playing it at home and then bringing it to the venue to use in lieu of an effect processor/DI box? UPD: all of this was basically speculation on my part, but the good folks at Talkbass appear to agree that 210 is plenty loud. Maybe that Ashdown was broken, it's Ashdown after all lol. RB210 still sounds better imo, and I don't need all the doodads.
