Budget transparrent class D amp heads ~300W?

[DocTrucker]

Morning!

 

Not something that I can do right now but I am gathering information on amps. I would like my tone to be largely shaped by the bass and pedal board. I currently have a laney amp stack after a spotting a good deal a while back. While the Laney RB9 is not a Class D does it add character or is it transparent? What options for ~300W class D amp heads stand out for balance of reliability and not shaping the tone? Am I best off repurposing a PA amp?

 

Thanks.

When I was doing similar I used Ashdown amps, both ABMs and RMs, as both have an EQ bypass switch, hence my reasons for using them. The RM amps are Class D, small, light & powerful. They did do a 300 watt version, but used you can get the 500s for around £300ish. Reliability-wise they`re good, and being based in the UK any issues they`ll sort quickly.
