A stingray and a 410xlt thru an Eden head (or a 610xlt in my case) is a match made in heaven. That combo can cut thru as much distorted guitar as you can throw at it or sounds as funky and smooth as you want it to.

Read your instructions re the eq (download off the Eden site if you have to). I think it says to just experiment by cutting or boosting and then rolling the frequency knob around to get an idea of what it sounds like.

I got rid of my trace Elliot rig 13 years ago to switch to Eden and I have never looked back. When my amp got stolen a few years ago I looked at other stuff and then got another Eden.

Turn the enhance to zero, have the input stage set so it can't hit the compressor. And away you go. Most of the time I don't even use the Para eq. Just cutting or boosting the Bass knob is usually enough for me depending on the room.

I had a WT-500 a while back. When playing my MM basses, I had to dial out the horn in my cab to get decent tone. I really struggled with it. It was fine with my other basses truthfully. I bought a Markbass LittleMark II for rehersal and it quickly replaced the Eden. The Eden was a good amp, but the LM II is very easy to get great tone out of. It mixed well with my Eden cabs. It mixed easier with the MM basses.

Alright, so I'm test driving an Eden WT500 and a D410XLT in combination with an Ashdown MAG 115. This is a huge upgrade, since my current rig is a Hartke Model 3500 head and a Behringer 4x10 cab with aluminum cones.:( The Eden is nice and definitely has some great features, but I find its tone to be weird. If I bump up my low mids though, it sounds good. What are your opinions on Eden with EBMM? Does anyone here play EBMM through Eden rigs?

I Own one for awhile but it looked much better in my salt water fish tank so it stayed there till the rust was effecting the fish, then i put it in the Garbage.

I finally got some great tones out of it! It just took ALOT of playing with the EQ. The EQ is the key, and hard to master. Once you got your gain and Enhance set, adjust the EQ it really opens up. I would compare one tone I'm getting out of it to an SWR sound but warmer. I can also dial a GK-like sound. Overall, its a good rig now that I've played with the settings enough.

I have a WT550 with a 210XLT and a 112XLT (both eight ohms for a total load of four ohms) which I have used now for around six years. I play mainly a Fender Hotrod Precision (P-J) and it is just fine with this amp setup. I used this rig in Japan a few years and it worked fine on the 105V 50Hz power. Over the years I have been lucky enough to use some sweet old amps like Sunn 200S and 300T through some really good speakers. This Eden WT550 is an easy match for any of them, and I highly recommend it. I play pretty much any and all styles. The WT550 is especially good for smoothness and accurate tone. I put the "enhance" at approximately 9:30. Y'all cannot go wrong with one.

Well, I've since gotten rid of the Eden rig, about a year ago an upgraded to a Gallien-Krueger 700RB-II, Neo 210, Neo 115-III. It fits my style much better and I love the features. (Not to mention much better on my back lol) It also compliments the Bongo 6's tones very well.
