I love this head but I cannot trust it
VinceNolan 02.03.2022
I really do love this head. Everything feels really well put together. There is a definite experience of quality to all controls and a reassuring weight to the unit.
Very load and the sound is simply perfect. For about 5 weeks I was so happy., then., the unit started to cut out while using. It was very random. Sometimes running for more than 2 hours before cutting our and something only a few minutes. Most likely some protection circuit is kicking in.
I ran a number of ‘environment’ tests to try find what might cause the issue but no joy. In 3 different environments on multiple occasions the head continued to cut out (anywhere between 2 mins and 2 hours).
Sometimes, with a brief off/on, it would come back to life. But even then, it could cut out again after a few minutes (or sometimes after another hour or so).

The unit is back with Thomann now. I really hope they can find a ‘problem’ as without finding the problem (and fixing it) I coudl not ever trust this head enough to use it.

I will update this review with outcome.

I’ve been using this head for 5 months and cannot say a single negative thing. I just love the sound and the energy coming out of this little box.

Buscaba un bajo peso pero de gran tonelaje en cuestión de sonido. En conciencia puedo aconsejarlo si tienes conciertos y quieres algo compacto con un sonido brutal. Un ecualizador que tiene dinámica y graves claros pero contundente ......cálido pero sin redondear el sonido puro de un bajo.

Definitely worth it's money

A very great amp for every style of music. The loadable IR's really affect the tone and push it to a different level. The only negative thing is that due to the Class D Mosfet construction it really amplifies single Coil hum and grounding noise on Passive Basses , but hopefully that's something that a bit of shielding tape in the Basses will fix.
