@Dante.....
Most of the TE that I own I have bought used over a period of 20 years, so even though It looks like a huge collection, I got the hole bunch one or two pieces at a time. Some of the amps were bought with different issues or as non working, and little by little I did the repairs and got them up and running again....
I prefer to have some headroom, so even though I don't play insanely loud on stage, I would hate not to be able to follow both the drummer and usually two guitars....the only person to complain about the sound level is most often the sound guy....kinda like "you need to turn that amp a little...your louder than the PA"....
@MJMP....I think that the Octabass is quite ok for the upper notes....with the low notes it gets a little muddy...
@Iperfungus....not a bad idea to daisy chain the whole thing...
@Dante....this virtual setup would be a killer setup...
Regarding the tranny for the B500B....of course it can be done...don't take no for an answer....
Do you, MJMP or somebody else have some specs on the tranny or could do the measurements ....mainly the size ( if it has fit into a predefined space, secondary voltages, current draw for the outtake(s) on the the secondary side of the tranny and the overall VA.....this would give us something to work with....there are some pretty competent tranny companies here in DK that do custom orders for specific purposes....it would definitely be worth a try...
Yeah, international shipping can really make you dig deep in the pockets.....
@van sinn....thanks again for letting me buy your MB-1....man, I really lovethe sound of it and I'm now on the hunt for a power amp that would fit with it....
