I'm curious how do you set your bass tone from the volume and tone knobs? Do you have them flat? I have a new Spector bass with two humbuckers and I don't know… sometimes they sound great and sometimes they sound like too muddy (they are Bartolinis) and I'm playing a TH500 in a SL210 cab.
Very interested in the TH700 or TH500. I play in a rock band, mostly clubs. Usually go through PA but sometimes not. Looking for reasonable cab weight. Any recommendations on cab? SL 212 or two SL 112's im leaning towards but open to your thoughts…thanks
Thanks for your great descriptions. Very helpful. I have an active fender p + bass. Any idea how this amp would perform? Some of the ampeg amp have a -15 db control on the amp when using active basses. May i would just not need to turn up the volume up as loud with the 700? Thanks
You are right about the Fender Jazz Bass sound with AG700, which I have it for the last 4 years.
Super helpful honest review. I have always been more in the Mesa and Genz Benz camp but I played an AG 700 once at a music store. I really liked it. Never tried the Tonehammer but this video makes me want to try one. Just like you, I'm always unhappy with the sound I get personally out of a Jazz bass even though I in general love the sound of a Jazz bass.
Great review!!!
all tone hammer demos are done with guitars nobody has
Hey bro. Thanks for the review and also explaining how the drive knob actually works.
I’ve a question about the gain knob. Does it work exactly like any other gain knob, control’s the amount of input from your bass?
I’m used to a clipping light. I normally set my gain until I see the clipping light flash then back off. Is the approach different in the tone hammer?
Lastly does the gain knob and drive knob have an effect on each other?
Cheers
Thank you for the insight.
Amigo todo el sonido está saliendo por line out vdd ???
Best review yet. Honest and informed. I wish every YouTube reviewer was this informative! Thank you????
Hi, adding Bass works better by turning low mids down, it definitely gives a more usable bass boost range. Also depend on the cab you use, I think. Beast of a head, TH500 user for 8 years!
Thanks for the channel, keep it that way!
Should I get the 700 or is 500 enough? I'm planning to go through my sansamp pedal.
Wow seriously fantastic review!
I've had this and the AG700 for a couple years and I appreciate the TH all the more after listening to your review.
Thanks ????
what bass is that ? thanks
So you put your WD 800 out to pasture???? I just bought one and your Videos helped me make that decision. The Tone Hammer sounds excellent but many have been frustrated understanding Drive, Gain and EQ interaction. This Video should help
accurate description, but my opinion is that the DI alters the result in a decisive way, it would have been better to go directly from the bass into the amp.just my 2 cents
Thanks to this video, I bought this great amp. Thank you!
Hey Ivan, aside from fan noise have you heard any hissing or white noise sounds coming from the speakers when you’re not playing but the amp is still powered on or is it dead quiet? I’ve heard some people claim there’s a subtle hiss, but I didn’t notice that when I tried it at the store. I was in a louder environment though. I’d like to make sure there isn’t any noise from the amp before I buy one. Anyone else who owns one of the 500s or 700s I’d love to hear from you as well. Thanks!
Where are these made? Asia?
All amps have a HPF built in. Do you mean an adjustable HPF?
this might warm up my Ibanez EHB-1505
excellent demo
my local GC has this and a Mark Bass Vintage head – checking out both today!
Hi Ivan. A part from the volume, is any more difference between the TH 500 and the TH 700?
Awesome video my friend. I currently gig at local clubs with this exact amp. I play a G&L Kiloton with a Darkglass Hyper Luminal compressor always on a high ratio (5:1) Cali76 (FET) setting and it sounds killer. Aguilar's cabinets are incredible as well. Highly recommend anyone to snag one of these.
I have the amp, and I totally agree about the drive and break up being farty. I like the break-up of my Fender SB 300 a lot better. But it's a great amp. I've been using it for over a year w/o any problems. And it's very light!
Hey Ivan, how would you compare this to your Mesa WD800? I’m on the fence with these two. Thanks and nice playing?
Ivan I really appreciate your videos, we have similar taste in amps. Did you know that the drive knob acts as a sort of HPF as you turn it up?
I would like to hear this back to back with the EBS Reidmar 750
