Hi Limpias,

How is the tone for vocals? Is there enough gain on the inputs (mic & inst)?

I like it, also for vocals. Overall, I liked the tone better than the JBL, I am just not sure which one is preferrable playing in the mix.

Any update to the hum topic? Is the other box working fine?

Regards

What about the spread? The eon one compact is quite directional, unlike Bose stuff for example. Does the HK behaves well in that regard?

So what is your feedback now? Can you please write a detailed review?

Bump!

What's the word on the Move 8 now after being out for a while?

Bump!

I'm interested in this. Would the guitar input with the celestion simulation be suitable for an acoustic guitar as well or is it primarily for electrics?

Limpias, any update on the hum?

Thanks!

I really like the knobs and general user interface since I dont like to use a phone during a gig. An amp has to be manually adjustable for me, this is a lot better solved than on my old amp...

Before, I had a JBL EON ONE Compact which has a lot more mids than the HK. Wheather that is an advantage or a disadvantage playing in a mixed situation I still have to find out (after Corona)...

There is one killer though. When I attach the power cord and an instrument cable at the same time, there is a loud 50 Hz Hum. Workin on battery alone there is no problem. The guitarworks fine on my other amp, the problem exists only with the HK. The power unit has no grounding, maybe I have a „humming loop“ or so...

Since the amp should be future proof working without batteries there is no way I will keep it without a solution. Any ideas what could be the problem?? The unit seems to be working just fine otherwise....

Sounds like a ground loop.
Do you have anything else in the chain that is plugged into a wall outlet.

Also, an extra XLR input and individual reverb levels on each channel. Two things the Bose S1 system could very much use.

Reverb would be nice, but not a necessity for us as a duo. I always think it's hilarious when they call an aux in a true input. 2 xlr and two line ins or 4 combi inputs would be a game changer. Looks like a great solo performer option though....
