No sales Bud 12 in Japan????日本では、6と10しか売ってないです。しかも非常に数少なく箱キズ当たり前の(日本までの)運送の悪さ。せっかくのアンプの良さが広まらない。
I own a Bud 6 and here’s an interesting and easy mod. I actually experimented with lightly plugging the hole in the bottom of the amp to control the bass response (I found it too boomy on my hardwood floor) but I can remove the plug for gigs.
Superb Video.Thanks very much and thanks to Sandra Sherman for the link.????
Brilliant demonstration ! Thank you ????
Absolutely agreed with your descriptions.
Bigger apeaker mean louder?
12incher all the way!
Tks, very useful! So the Bud 6 is a NO GO amp when the 10 exists..
This is an awesome video. Direct cut, no nonsense, straight to the point. Thanks, Ernst!
I've been looking to buy a replacement speaker, so I have been listening to a lot of "sound demos". They are usually conducted with an iphone speaker, in a boomy room, with a guitarist who can't play very well, and at high distortion. This demo is a breath of fresh air, wonderfully done.
Thank you for taking the time to demo this. I'm impressed with these amps and want to make a wise choice. We don't have a dealer to test drive in my area. Your playing is perfect for me.
Yes, the speaker makes a difference. It is in fact what we hear. The great thing about the old Polytones was not so much the amp as the speaker! I have a Crate BX100 bass amp with 15” speaker that I’ve set to sound nearly identical to a Polytone. IMO the keys are the speaker, and a power amp with enough headroom to drive the speaker cleanly. For jazz guitar, the speaker should be no less than 12”.
I enjoyed the demo–great playing. It's easy to hear that the amps sound different when the settings on each are the same. I'm curious how close they can be dialed in to sound the same. Maybe the Ten with the bass turned up can get really close to the Twelve? Maybe the Twelve with the upper frequencies boosted can cut like the Six? Not asking you to devote the time to another demo, but I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.
I'm assuming the Bud Six does NOT have reverb. Is this correct?
Try a PureTone amp from Crete
Question: If you were going to run these like the gig rig in A/B/Y with one amp a little wet just for fullness of tone and clarity. Which ones would you pair together and with which speaker cabinets? I personally like the sound of the twelve and also the harmonics of the six, but in this demo I didn't like the ten as much as the others. I just wondered would you use a six + twelve extension for the direct tone and a ten + array for the wet? I just want to run vocals and guitar through it. Just curious what your ultimate tone stacking and wet dry getup would be with these amps. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE it, if you would do this same setup but use an array extension cab with each one….. Six + no array, Six + array, Ten + no array, Ten + array, Twelve + no array , Twelve + array, and then maybe combinations – Six + twelve, Ten + Twelve. I think it would give us a great idea of how to build our sound when using the Bud. I'm still shopping for it and left Henriksen a message that I would love if they could supply you that equipment to do another video on
