[quote name='6v6' timestamp='1413191369' post='2575546'] If the requirement is a smaller/lighter IP, does an AER amp one fit the bill? They're silly money, but from what I've read they have some of the DSP magic built in, similar to the IP? [/quote] I can vouch for the AER amp one, and if you see my thread on their customer service I don't think they can be beaten. You would not believe the power, volume and bottom end that come out of these tiny boxes. The only thing for me that could possibly beat an amp one for overall sound and portability would be the amp three (I'm yet to try one but the reviews give it the edge on the amp one). And yes, they are silly daft bonkers ridiculous nuts money, but you get what you pay for, a top quality amp with some kind of retro-fitted alien nuclear fusion technology, (otherwise known as German engineering!) and, of course the best in customer care.

I've just had confirmation from the guys at westside distribution in Glasgow that the replacement amp one has been posted out of Germany today! Hopefully arriving with me by the end of the week. It's took a while but what fantastic customer service this is. The only question now is do I sell my new new amp one on basschat for what would be a very reasonable price for a new amp and upgrade to the amp three, or do I stick with this delightful combo???????

I haven't got it yet, there is still time for them to change their mind!

I hope so, I haven't actually got it yet, but it should be getting posted out from Germany early next week, I wait and hope!

I'm hoping that this has a happy ending. I absolutely love my AER amp one which I purchased off basschat earlier this year, however a couple of weeks ago it developed some rather strange vibrations which I just could not identify, I can't complain, you buy second hand and you take the chance. Anyway I eventually sent this up to the UK distributers in Glasgow and AER sent a new chassis out to them with an inbuilt fan as they thought the heatsink wasn't Cutting it? This was FREE OF CHARGE, however this still did not solve the problem. So what do AER do now???????? Send me a brand new AER amp one free of charge, it's not arrived yet but it's not bad to say it's a 2008 model, well out of its warranty, and I'm the third owner!!!!

My band has only just started to get out of the rehearsal stage but we somehow managed to get on a pretty cool promotional video for yellow arch studio in Sheffield, just a touch of our funk to brighten it up ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gm1Z2RL5Hw8

It's gotta be funky, and the UK is producing some great funk / groove bands like the new master sounds, the grits (although their new album is a little dodgy!) and the Aussies bring some quality grooves to the table with deep street soul.
