Sunn Solarus

I have it in a combo configuration. So with the speakers, I will admit...it's very heavy. Never head to carry just the head (all in one unit). I can carry it up and down stairs...but I would prefer not to One of the reasons why I got my Vox was because despite it being longer, it really is a grab and go amp...just not for playing at home. I have been enjoying the spring reverb on in lately by keeping the normal channel up and the master WAY down. But for the Hartke, I have an RM-1 and when you tame that beast it sounds like good (albeit not normal in anyway shape or form) spring reverb.

I personally have not used any of the other models of Hartke. A buddy has a smaller one. He used it as a PA for his DJ Booth at a wedding we were at and it 1. Sounded great 2. Nobody complained about the volume being too low.

More or less mine...

NSFW: show

I was pretty down about buying it for a while. Like "what the fuck do I need this for". Then I actually started using it

So what happened here IM? Just checking in...

[Invisible Man]

I have yet to hear so much as a buzz out of the thing. I'm 1) hunting for a cab, but have had little time/resource to do so because 2) I'm finishing my basement and studio in preparation for the imminent arrival of 3) baby #3.

But the carpet went in today, so the studio will be up tonight, so I have time/space to think about this, so I'll get a cab, so I'll hear the amp, so I'll play cool loud music.

Life!

Okay. Best of luck with the far more important matters. I'll check-in again in six months.

[Invisible Man]

Hahaha I'll have a real update in the next couple weeks. Can't wait longer than that. Bursting to be noisy.

Great Googly Moogly! You did it! You won!
I see you bought the Peavy's for that absurd once in a lifetime price. Great for you!

That 212 is ♥ so cute ♥

[Invisible Man]

Yeah. The Sunn PA, the Peavey head, and the cabs (8x10 and 2x12) cost me a total of $425. Feel pretty good about that.

UHHHH "feeling pretty good"! You should feel pretty fucking great Ha-Ha. You're also saving money on viagra cause you can just walk into that room now and realize all that awesome stuff did not (comparatively speaking) did not cost a small fortune. To put it in perspective for you...all of that cost less than one one of my synths (my Odyssey). All that was less than my Infinite Jets!

[PeteeBee]

That's a rad looking jam room. How's it all sound?

[OldGeorge]

How's that tele sound through it?

Wow, yeah...that does put it in perspective. I've paid more for a pedal than for all of that, too...

Ducken awesome. The Peavey head is a sleeper. Has circuits for fuzz, distortion, reverb and trem (and the trem has an independent gain circuit). Shocked myself pretty good a few times while adjusting controls, so it has 'quirks.' But the fuzz, distortion and channel/master gain controls give it a ton of dirt flexibility. It dooms really, really hard. The Sunn is a lot more straightforward, but is violent in its volume. I just finished my basement as of this week, and am assembling the jam room. I'll put up some 'process photos' soon.

!!!

Baritone tele + small board + weird amps + giant cab = crying babies.
