Jamesemt Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I'm just weighing up options as my superfly has lost one channel. I've got two 4 ohm Eden Nemesis cabs and was thinking of just replacing the superfly with a poweramp? I've been setting the superfly flat and using the pod anyway. Is there anything to stop me just using a poweramp? Seems a cheap way to get what I want?? If so, could anyone recommend me something? Would like at least 2x400 watts as didn't have enough headroom with the superfly (or maybe I just got a duffer) Db technologies look quite cheap...

Hamster Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 It seems that most people who bought a superfly got a duffer! I'm pretty sure there's a few people on here who do what you're thinking of with the Pod and a poweramp. Don't see any reason why it can't work. Have you checked the for sale forums for a poweramp?

Mr. Foxen Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Get [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=330321573385"]this[/url] power amp. SS pre and valve power is the true path. Valve warmth and SS control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesemt Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 Would a cheap disco amp be ok? There's a fair few on eBay for under £200... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldybass Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 James I use a Peavey TMaxx tube solid state preamp combined with a modified Peavey DPC 1000 digital power amplifier. I cannot recommend these amps enough. Take a look at the link to the manual -http://www.peavey.com/assets/literature/manuals/80301925.pdf It would provide a very powerful clean nuetral amplification for your Line 6 Pod preamp. I will be selling soon a couple of these amplifiers refurbished but modified to have the volume controls on the front panel same as the DPC 1400 which has had some fab reviews. The price would be around 275pounds with a 1 year guarantee. If you are interested then please let me know. I can send you some photos of my rig so you can see what I'm on about. If its power you want then power to size to reliability these beasties can't be beaten. PM me for more details. Cheers Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's crystal clear tone suits adding modelling and I too run the EQ pretty much flat. I think it's a cheap way to get access to a massive amount of nice amp tones. You may never wanna buy a different head again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
