prowla Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Well, I am now in possession of an Ampeg SVP and a SansAmp RBI; they'll be going in a rack case along with a power amp. It'll be interesting seeing how they compare when I get the setup going. I've also got a MarkBass EVO amp which does emulations, including Ampeg; I'll see how that does as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Soar Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Can I have first dibs on the SVP? ☺ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowla Posted June 18, 2022 Author Share Posted June 18, 2022 (edited) So - I picked up a power amp today - now racked with the two preamps. Nextstep is to wire it up and give it a go! Edited June 18, 2022 by prowla 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I do have an OBNE Blender which could use if I wanted to do A-B on the fly. But I'm not necessarily expecting them to sound identical, but rather do I like their sound; in that case simply plugging from one to the other and playing a song should be a valid approach. As far as real use, I'm considering running my Rickenbacker stereo and really I just picked up the SansAmp as a placeholder; however, another option is to run 2x mono with the SansAmp doing deep and the Ampeg doing grit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downunderwonder Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 You'll need two cabs, one on each channel unless you blend back to mono. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tech21NYC Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 You could use the Tuner out of either unit to send your instrument signal to both units simultaneously and use an ABY pedal to toggle between or combine the two preamps if desired. Be mindful of ground loops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
