Any idea why Matrix make a bass power amp? It doesnt appear to be any different to the other ones really...

No worries, thats a shame...

What I like about the Peavey is the super compact size and weight, 2U and a shallow rack case. I've looked around on 'that other forum' too and no-one seems to have anything bad to say about it. The irritating blue glow can be dealt with.

I've looked at the matrix, its listed as a guitar power amp though, which puts me off slightly.

still available?

still available?

Really? Arse.

I just want a clean power amp that wont colour my sound, ideally around 500W, light would be nice, 2U or less.

SansAmp RBI and RPM (parallel) to the Peavey IPR1600 power amp.

How is the RBI and Peavey? Good sound?

With pedal preamps there can be a volume issue. The pedals have a rather limited amount of gain they can provide for a few reasons, mainly that they're limited by the 9V power supply but also they're designed to work in front of standard amps rather than power amps. You'll get sound either way, but I've seen the pedal output volume maxed and the gain controls on an amp maxed and still the signal LEDs are just barely being tickled.

You really have two options, one is to find an amp with the lowest input sensitivity that you can, ideally around 0.775V. Option 2 is to use another gain stage to boots the pedal before the power amp.

If you use the RBI you'll likely have a wider choice of suitable power amps.

Oh sorry, I should answer your question. QSC PLX??02, pick the one you feel you need. I have a 1602 that does 300W a side into each of my Barefaceds, and the possibility of 1600W into both if I wanted. They have either a 1.2V or 1.7V input sensitivity I think, depending on the model, so you may find your RBI will sing and your VT Bass a little on the quieter side.

Thanks Jack, really helpful advice! I love Basschat, there's always someone who knows the answer....

So I have a VT Bass pedal, and a Sansamp RBI. Thinking about pairing one of them up with a power amp rather than just using them in the effects chain and ditching the amp I'm using.

What amp do you recommend for a Sansamp? Lighter the better ideally

still available?

I've got a white BB1025X, rarely gets used although I love the feel of it. Have you got a BB1024X you'd like to swap for it?

Only white or black please...

PM'd

So after everyone's advice I've decided to go for a SVT 3 non pro and I'll get a sansamp vt to boost tubeyness. If anyone knows of one going, please let me know! Thanks

Thanks Ped.

We all try and help each other out here, but there's always one wise-ass to ruin it for everyone.

This person is doing the same on another forum also!

Mods, can you ban Gearmans from the forum please?

I thought so. I mailed them for sh*ts and giggles, he/she sent me an equally badly worded mail back with a pic of a different amp that he wants to sell me...

Please send me all your money in return for nothing. Oh ok, hold me back... LOL

Anyone here heard from a user who joined yesterday called GEARMANS?

They mailed me saying they had what I was looking for from my wanted post. Asked for me to email them. All sounds very sketchy. See below.

Thank you guys!

So I'm hopefully buying an amp (2nd hand) from a guy in Germany.

Will it be good to go on UK power with a new kettle lead?

The serial number denotes its a EU model rather than a UK model. Its an Ampeg SVT-III from 1991.

Thanks in advance!
