    Class D Poweamp suggestions please.

    in Amps and Cabs

    Posted

    Following on from my other thread about the Peavey Poweramps.

    Does anyone have any other suggestions ?

    I've tried 'normal' poweramps in the past without a lot of success.

    I'm amazed that you can't get half rack size class D poweramps. All it needs is the power section from something like a Genz Benz shuttle.

    These look allright on paper, and they're a good price, but are they any good ?

    Peavey IPR 1600 530 Watt Power Amplifier - anyone tried one ?

    in Amps and Cabs

    I'm considering going down the separate pre amp/poweramp route. I figure I could have a couple of different pre amps for different gigs.

    My past experience with poweramps has been a bit of a disaster though. They're either huge heavyweights or have excessively noisy fans.

    I'm amazed that you can't get a small, reliable and lightweight class D power amp. Similar to those used by Genz Benz.

    These Peavey's look good though, and are certainly in the right price range.

    I have cupboards and shelves full of CD's, about one thousand at the last count. I just can't help buying them, and trying them. Many of these have only been played once, all are in excellent condition.

    I've checked the prices against Amazon, I think they're pretty fair. All my prices include postage, the Amazon ones don't so take that into account if you do your own comparison.

    OK, here's a bit of a list. I can 'do a deal', if you want more than one.

    Fodera Yin Yang - what do people think aesthetically?

    [quote name='AndyTravis' post='993931' date='Oct 19 2010, 06:49 PM']Wooten pulls it off. And i like the fact it's done with woods rather than a paint job. It doesn't offend me at all.

    The one you had at bassday UK was a much better looking instrument in my humble opinion.

    If i was buying a Fodera, i'd want it to look like mine, not his. If you get me?[/quote]

    I think it's a beautiful bass. However I totally agree with this, spending that sort of money I'd want something that was 'mine'.

    I'm thinking about having my bass refinished.

    I bought this beautiful bass a few weeks ago, and I've really fallen in love with it.

    It's probably the closest bass to a Fodera that I've tried. other than a Fodera. It has a really beautiful 'natural' sound. It doesn't sound overly bassy, or middly, or trebly. Just a very even sounding bass. It's got a great preamp too, but I'm tending to keep the pre switched out.

    I'm not sure what the top wood is, I'm not 100% sure what the body wood is come to that lol.

    I am thinking about having it refinished though. It's currently got a sort of matt finish to it that I'm not keen on. I've had a couple of basses with this sort of finish, and I just don't think it's at all hard wearing, and it really doesn't show off the bass to it's full potential.

    It's got a beautiful top wood, that's very highly figured, and actually has a lot of 'flaming' on it, (very 3D when you hold it to the light). This wood look stunning with a deep gloss coat on it.

    I've approached Martin Sims, and he's given me a very good price, it'd take about 6 weeks.

    One thing that worried me though is this. Would the bass sound different with a deep gloss coat on rather than the very thin matt coat that's on it now ?

    Has anyone changed the finish on their bass, either from this to a deep gloss, or vice versa ?

    I bought a Sei bass from a guy a couple of years ago. He ordered it with this sort of finish, but when he collected it, it had been given a deep gloss coat. He didn't like it an told me it had 'spoiled the sound'.
