Members tronus Posted December 23, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 23, 2012 Thanks man!... even though it was more of a bitter sweet new amp day... followed by a new amp return day. Happy new amp day is on it's way though! HRD's are freaking sweet. I was tempted but I wanted something small and light. I grabbed this one for a practice amp that can be lugged from room to room easy. I'll definitely be using it as a grab and go but my grab and go sessions usually lead me to a room full of large and loud amps, drums, keys, PA, etc... I think the only grab and go purposes I'll get out of it are coffee house type settings or apartment practices/jams. Eventually, I'll probably end up in a lower volume group some day that I can use this amp with.

Members tronus Posted December 23, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 23, 2012 That's definitely a fear of mine... Being underpowered while the band blasts away. Keep an eye out for the Bad Cat Unleash to be released some day now. It goes between the amp and the cab and acts like the opposite of an attenuator... You just turn a dial and it goes up in wattage all the way up to 100 watts. You can even use it like an attenuator and go below your amps wattage... PLUS it has an effects loop built into it. Pretty dang neat!

Members Aristotle Posted December 23, 2012 Members Share Posted December 23, 2012 Get your {censored} together Fender. Look how many people have problems with your new amps and when it comes to guitars even Gibson is wiping the floor with your ass in the quality/price ratio.

Can't really comment about the amps, but every Fender guitar I've tried has been infinitely more playable than some of the Gibsons lately. (There have been a few really nice Gibsons, but I'd be more confident ordering a Fender blind than a Gibson.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have plenty of volume if you run stereo. Or even if you don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
