Poweramp comparison - ISP Stealth vs. Peavey 6505

[prayfordarkness]

Hey guys, I've been using the ISP Stealth for a little while now with my Kemper, and I've been super impressed with it. Previously I was running the KPA through the power section of my 6505 head, so I decided to A/B the two amps with identical settings, at identical volumes, and see what kind of a difference there was. There was quite a noticeable difference between the two, so I made some very simple front panel eq adjustments to try to bring the two sounding closer. I could have analyzed the two tracks and gotten them closer with some fancy parametric eq'ing, but in the interest of simplicity and universality, I wanted to restrict myself to only the front panel knobs, and as few moves as possible.

Check it out and let me know what you think!

Cheers!

In direct comparison, yes. After the eq adjustment though, not so much. I think it sounds pretty good. Especially considering its size and weight, at just over 1 pound.
