    power amp for backline

    in Amps and Cabs

    Posted

    I don’t have a Helix but I’d be very surprised if it didn’t have a dedicated (XLR) DI out for FOH etc & a separate (un)balanced line out for driving a power amp or just going direct into a bass or guitar amp probably in the form of either a TS (unbalanced) or TRS (balanced) jack socket out .. probably with separate volume controls, I haven’t read the manual though lol

    As far as power amps .. as long as your Helix sends a strong enough signal (line level) most power amps will work but how much dya wanna spend ?

    I’m actually selling a very powerful, high quality power amp that I think  will really make your super twin shine .. it’s worth a look as it’s a Lab Gruppen but there are loads of power amps out there (cheap to really expensive) ... time to do some research lol ... you can also use most bass amps that have a ‘return’ or ‘power amp in’ socket which will bypass the amp’s preamp (as long as it’s a serial effects loop) ... :)

    Sold on eBay - Martin Audio MAS 1.6s (Lab Gruppen FP 2600) power amp £430 posted

    Trades added .. basically after another quality power amp but without a fan lol .. I stupidly blew my other amp (I use for home hifi).

    I don’t consider this amp’s fan as noisy, certainly don’t notice it when playing at reasonable to loudish volumes (not gig volume btw) but do notice listening to music at home hence the trade ...

    or a Glockenklang BAC head

    or Steamhammer / HRII

    @sifi2112. With those rechargeable batteries do you have to unplug everything when not in use?   I'm wondering what the advantages are with this over something like a Volto.

    Good question Kirky .. yes I have to unplug them :( 

    Unfortunately my Darkglass X7 doesn’t like to be daisy chained (hisses) so this way they are all isolated (well weelushfx ABY gets tiny bit of juice from sfx mD3 out) .. if the X7 or mD3 battery dies I can just use Moog Flange one as that pedal is true bypass & still lets signal through unpowered :)

    I have 4 of these Poover 700mA rechargeable batteries so will maybe keep a spare velcro’d under the board or any 9v battery.

    I tried a Harley Benton (Volto) type psu last year but sent it back due to noise added .. Volto or Palmer battpack might be better but don’t think the two outputs are isolated so back to original problem lol

    Any other solutions/options welcome btw :)

    Ps. Darkglass X7 parallel (dry) out > Moog Flange > ABY > mD3

    Darkglass X7 wet out > ABY > mD3

    Basically I have a dirty (main) bass tone & a clean (modulated) tone for more subtle passages etc :) .. just switch via ABY pedal
