As you go on further in this manual, you will learn how to use and utilize all of the useful features that the EBS NeoGorm off-ers you. ![]() The combination of 350 watts of power coupled with the super efficient 3rd generation Neodymium speakers, create a unit that defines the whole reason for choosing a combo instead of an amp-cab set-up. The EBS NeoGorm combos incorporates the great knowledge about bass amplification within EBS with the latest speaker technology. Neodymium Speakers, 9-Volt Phantom Power System™, Compressor/Limiter, Powerful EQ including a BRIGHT filter, Tube-like Character switch, Serial/Parallel effects loop, Monitor input (1/4” balanced), Possible to connect an external passive 4 ohms cabinet, EBS unique Silent Cooling System (SCS™), Built-in speaker simulator, Stereo headphone output, ”Soft-Clip”-circuitry provides tube-like overdrive. This might be a really dull question so apologies in advance but I will try and explain my thinking. I love EBS gear, I have loved all of my EBS cabs and I loved my Reidmar but I have always been really interested in the HD350 and find myself really tempted to get one. My issue is with the power/volume it can produce. EBS say 350w at 2ohms and that is exactly the same for the new HD360 from what I can tell. Now for the sort of money both amps cost new, it seems they are underpowered compared to nearly every class D amp going, some of which cost half as much. Do the HD350 and 360 kick out more volume than 350w rating would have me believe? It just seems a bit odd to charge over £900 for a 350w amp, but a lot of pro players seem to use them so they must pack a punch live? Can any current or previous owners comment? I can't claim to have had many heads but I have an HD350 and it's plenty loud enough (when paired with either or both of my Neoline 210 or 212) for anything that I would think most people are likely to need. Really lovely amp, very transparent so you can just have your basses tone, or easy to tweak the EQ for a change. No amp GAS here! Also, I think that there is some formula of the order that in order to double volume you need to increase watts output x10. I'm preparing to be shot down on this as it's just a dusty fact from the dark recesses. But, the gist is a 700w amp isn't twice as loud as a 350w. The luddite in me also likes that it looks like a 'proper' amp too, sorry mini amp fans but I personally can't get over the 'clock radio' aspect of them. Edited November 7, 2013 by redbandit599. Cheers chaps, I thought it must kick out a fair amount of power at 4 ohm as so many of them have been sold and it must be ok for Tal and Marcus Miller live! I would love to try one as there are a couple about used at the moment, I might just have to splash out and take the gamble. I would run it with a EBS Neo 410, although I have been looking into two 1x12 cabs. I have to say I agree about it looking like a 'proper' amp, I have had a few class d amps and there is something that I don't trust about them. It's completely irrational but I do miss that weight of a classic amp. I loved my Reidmar, brilliant amp but I never thought it had the build quality of other amps. Just do it I had a HD350 for the best part of a decade and I've just gone back to using another after three or four years with a couple of class D amps (a TC Classic 450 and a GB Streamliner 900). Whilst I really love the Streamliner, I've just found the HD350 to be more authoritative, focused, transparent and punchy. That said, I've always loved the EBS sound so there's probably a tonal consideration involved but I'm loving the articulation that the EBS head gives me above the GB head. Power isn't everything and TBH, if I'm not loud enough with the 350w of the EBS, there's something really wrong with the onstage volumes. For me, sounds obvious, but the amp works really well with efficient and loud cabs. The shared PDF will display exactly the same on both computers. Alcatel lucent ont manual. I've got a Berg CN212 now but had a couple of Proline 410s in the past. Because they're both very sensitive and detailed cabs, there seems to be an 'efficiency' effect where the head hardly breaks sweat. I'm keeping the GB Streamliner as it does sound great for the 'rock' deps I'm doing but the HD350 does the functions gig SOOOOO much better. I see that it's a losing battle, but I'll give you my unbiased experience. I have had three heads that share the similar power @ [b]4[/b] ohms (around 500W): TC RH450, Markbass LMII, GK Fusion 550. While, EBS heads give around 350W @ 4ohms, the difference in power should be negligible (1-1.5 dB), but it wasn't. GK was much louder than the rest of them, followed by Markbass and TC, and EBS watts always seemed quiet to me. Taking in consideration that 2ohm action is super rare occasion for majority of bass players, power at 4 and 8 ohm is what matters the most. Again, my opinion, my experience. I know, but it wasn't a fair comparison when my 250W TC BH250 smoked 350W Ampeg SVT III PRO through 4ohm Ampeg 410HLF neither - I couldn't believe how much louder TC was.
