Has anyone played the THD Flexi 50 combo?

[Fatso Forgottso]

I'm looking to buy one soon, and I have a couple questions about it.
How much headroom does it have?
How is the effects loop?
Which is better, the cleans or the dirt?
thanks.

no-one?

I own a Flexi Head and 1x12 Ear Candy Cab. It is a great amp and quite loud. I would imagine that the combo would be the same. I am thinking of selling mine if you are interested? It is in mint condition. I currently play through an Egnater M4 Pre-amp which I love these days. I am afraid as much as I love the Flexi it would be just a dust collector and should find a new home.

sorry man, I'm really only interested in the combo.
how was the effects loop on the head?

It will do a big loud clean with lots of headroom, but only if you like your cleans with some hair and character. It is not a Twin or JC120. I am sure with some tweaking (and possibly tube changes) you could find a nice clean that will keep up with a loud band.

The effects loop works fine for me but I don't use it much because I like the pure sound of the amp. Some devices have problems with it as it is not buffered.

The cleans are nice, but have a very distinctive Flexi flavor. IMO, the amp really shines when you use your guitar to morph between dirty-clean and singing crunch.

There have been a bunch of threads with good advice and great clips if you do a search.

Here's the product info: http://www.thdelectronics.com/produc...112_Combo.html

I've never tried the new combo, but own the Flexi-50 head coupled with an Avatar 2x12 with Celestion V30 & G12H30 Anniv. speakers, and absolutely love the rig. Very touch-sensitive. Good clean-to-crunch-to-overdrive with turn of your volume knob. Accepts pedals well (Preferably used through the loop feature). Very sturdy; well hand-crafted. Andy Marshall puts a lot of thought and effort into his products before he offers them to the public. I'd trust that you'd enjoy the amp.

there is NO such thing as a flexi combo.

The new combo cab is made to accomodate any of their heads, Uni, Bi or the Flexi.

I am pretty sure you can buy the combo cab separately or get it paired with one of their heads.

yeah, just as if it were, i dunno, a flexi-50 combo.

A combo's... a combo. Nice you have the option to swap out the guts with a Uni, Bi, or Flexi...all within the confines of a nice THD 1x12 cab. Think Fender would let you swap a Twin, Bassman, Super-Reverb head within a stock speaker cab? I doubt it. THD goes 'one-up' again.
