AttitudeCastle Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Hi Guys As the title says, i'm looking for a rack for my Attitude LTD II, i want to put in an ampeg SVP-BSP in, a Power amp (around 100W looking for suggestions), another amp/power amp that will fit, (an SVT 4 pro???) and recommendation on a rack case, and a cab, and also a good tuner, i would like at least 10 extra spaces for ventilation, and space to add an effect/ a second tuner Regards AC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexclaber Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 A well-designed power amp will not need any extra spaces for ventilation. Why not buy a ~1000W/ch power amp and turn down one side? Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AttitudeCastle Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 i guess i could... the ampeg SVP BSP has heated up alot though and i want it in good condition so... can you recommend a good power amp? which meets that which you just stated?

alexclaber Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Am I right in guessing that so far you have the SVP BSP and are looking to build a clean/dirty rig around it? So two channel amp, two cabs, one for each half of the preamp? Your preamp only has a couple of valves in, I doubt it gets hot enough to cause problems - if you're worried then put the tuner above it because that's almost as good as having an empty space. Tons of good amps out there. Amongst decent ones (i.e. not cut-price 'DJ' models) you'll get the most amp for your money with a used heavyweight. If you're looking at new amps then I'd recommend the QSC PLX2 and Crown XTi as a good place to start. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AttitudeCastle Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 spot on! =D i want a billy sheehan style rig, though not his sound =D i only use his pre-amp as with the distorion on it, my harmonics are sweet if i use a tiny bit of it, that is for the split pickup of my attitude and anything else for the woofer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finbar Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I'm kind of unclear as to what you're looking for too. If you're looking to do a clean/dirty setup as Alex suggested, doesn't the BSP have a clean and a dirty output? So you'd just need one two channel poweramp to do that. Although it sounded from the first post, that you just wanted to have two amps in your rack, but I'm not sure why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AttitudeCastle Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 The BSP has two channels which you can blend but only one out put, only one pickup/bass can play through it, but i run my Yamaha Attitude stereo, it has two pickups with two outputs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finbar Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 (edited) So the BSP only has one input, but splits that signal to two channels (clean and OD), then blends them again before the single output? So to utilise the two outputs on the bass, you need two amps? In which case, I'd say don't get a second amp like an SVT4. Get another 1u preamp (The Ampeg SVP-Pro maybe? Ampeg seems to be your thing!), and run each preamp into a separate channel of the same stereo poweramp. It saves space, weight and money Edited September 16, 2009 by Finbar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvetkevorkian Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Or get something like a Pod X3 that can run two parallel effects chains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AttitudeCastle Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 well finbar, that was my exact plan! But i can't find an SVP-PRO any where =S and yes, the BSP has two channels which CAN be blended, but can also be used like a guitar amp, as in switch between clean and distortion, OR blend them, thats what i do, blend them Thanks Finbar! =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finbar Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 (edited) Watch the for sale section here. Two or three SVP-Pros have been up for sale recently I seem to remember? They pop up regularly enough, just be patient metaltime's: (good price too) [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=39096&hl=ampeg&st=20"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...ampeg&st=20[/url] Edited September 16, 2009 by Finbar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
