stingrayfan Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 (edited) The Warwick amps are really good for the cash (heavy but good chunky feel) but you'll prob find that one a bit underpowered. It's only 250w into 4 ohms. Connect that to an 8 ohm cab and you'll be lucky to push 200w out of that. Best bet is to buy a [url="http://www.absolutemusic.co.uk/shop/view_product.php?product=warprofet32basshead"]new Profet 3.2 for £180 [/url]as you'll also get 12 months guarantee. Also keep an eye on the classifieds here, as they crop up from time to time at good prices. Edited November 24, 2007 by stingrayfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussiephoenix Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I've had one for about a year... not a bad amp... nice and clear, but definitely not a STAR amp... its an all rounder... for the price, doesnt sound like you'd be going wrong.

richy316 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Good starter amp i'd say, how much they want for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moo Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 (edited) I have a Profet 3.2 that has been relegated to practice and Kids amp. Sounds nice and has lots of tone controls. Not enough power though. Need sensitive (Efficient + Large) cabs as well as quiet drummer and guitar to hold its own in a band. Only cost me £180 though. It would be unreasonable to expect a huge performance from a £180 quid amp. My current Quadruplet pre + 750w Digital power rig was £450 Second hand, would have cost £1200 to buy new. - No competition in performance.
