Rated Power and Load:
700W RMS into 2 ohms
475W RMS into 4 ohms
275W RMS into 8 ohms
So, going into that cab, its putting out 475 wts. First impressions, smooth, loud and deep. Sound is closer to Trace Elliot than Ampeg, but definitely Peavey. Heavy as heck but if I can get away with it and that cab, Then I don't have to drag those 2 1x15 to gigs.
 
Been playing with it a while and it seems to have a clarity similar to the Superfly ,with a bit the thunder I am getting from the Behringer 300wt head hooked to 2 15s'. But, its doing it with the Acme B2! (Yay!) This may work! However, it does not roar like the Sunn. I do have a tube preamp that I'm having repaired and it may be able to supply that rawness my band needs.

Tried it with the GT5 w/TI Jazz Flats, the Jazz and the Squier Pbass. The Conklin seemed to sing most sweetly, while the Jazz was a bit clanky. But that was easily toned down and its sound grew an enormous butt. Shook the pant leg a bit with master at 7, gain 3. The Pbass had the oddest 'fake' Rickenbacker tone I've heard in a long time. I kicked up the bass control for it and got a funny feeling... down there.

So far, I'd have to say...
I LIKE IT!
 
awesome man, sounds good. how much did you get it for? i'd be interested to try another head with my big ass sunn 4x15, but i think my gallien krueger backline sounds pretty good as it is
 
I am amaze by how much bass this sucker is pumping out thru the Acme! I knew it would be powerful (its a Peavey), but this sucker actually might be usable. I'm so pleased.
