Published on 05/16/11 at 06:30I will direct to the point:
+ Small
+ Light
+ Cute / vintage
Speakon + (I prefer having the full speakon as full jack)
DI-design unfinished
Three-band EQ (well, it vintage is orange, but a 4 or 5 bands would coolest elements)
-Excessive power. 500W, AC pummeled severely. The master volume is very sensitive.
Effect-loop design unfinished
Non-adjustable fan
UTILIZATION
As a little boy, I can bring in repeated taking the tram. Super easy to use: gain / low / med / treble / volume. It would be stupid to get lost. It is unfortunate that there are only three bands, but hey, we made it. Because despite this EQ, the sound varies na not that much ...
I turn now to the three points that angry.
-The fan is not adjustable. As said, no worries, live either. Soli solo at home, has low volume, it's embarrassing. On record, it's embarrassing. A switch to disengage or decrease its speed would have been welcome.
The DI-which is not highly developed. There are (thankfully) a ground lift switch, which further enhances the picture. But it is incredibly powerful. There is no switch pad -20 dB or more. However, given its small size, the Terror is designed to be walked around on stage. If the DI is unusable as is, it's frustrating. I had to buy an attenuator-20dB in order to deal calmly Shure consoles PA.
-The effects loop is as hot as the DI. My delay and reverb saturate my wickedly. Shame it is not lower.
SOUNDS
Sound, with the lamps base is good, saturates very quickly. I replaced the 12AT7 with lamps that are softer.
The sound is focused media, with its presence. Plugged into a home made cab 112. The gain is very gradual, and I have good saturation, light overdrive kind that roars.
I played with precision and rick '57 '. This is insane, with two basses. Their noise footprint is respected. Each character brings his bass sound. The amp also stained well.
I play very heavy rock, stoner, psychedelic, drone, and bass sub-granted.
OVERALL OPINION
Terror Bass is a good compromise compared to my expectations of a current amplifier: moderate price (compared to a big head full tube) lightweight, small, portable, powerful.
My reference sound is that of a Mashall SuperBass. Terrible! Bass Terror comes closest to this sound in all the small amps I've tried.
It's a shame he's so powerful. 500W is insane, even demonic. Too bad the DI is unworkable without subterfuge. Too bad for the price, we provide Orange lights shit.
