hey guys,
i'm currently building a rack based around a sansamp psa-1 preamp and a rocktron intellifex. this will be my live rig....the idea is to use it direct whenever the PA is of sufficient size, or use it through the fx return of whatever amp that's available. however, since i'm not a fan of surprises, i'd like to have my own poweramp in the rack, just in case neither of these possibilities work out at a particular gig. i might also use it for band rehearsals etc....
basically, since i'll be using this more as a backup device bang-for-the-buck is the nr1 priority here. i do not need a lot of power or fancy features....all i'm looking for is a decent, cheap poweramp that i can use for band rehearsals and as a backup unit...i'm fine with solid state, seeing how many people recommend a SS poweramp for the sansamp anyways. i'm also considering tube poweramps obviously
right now i'm running it through the fx return of my marshall 2210, and i really love the way it sounds....not quite that impressed with my 5150 for some reason....just fyi.
i'm mainly looking at either a peavey classic 50/50 (although that one is already way oversized for my needs), marshall 20/20, or the rocktron velocity line.
i wonder if anyone has any experience with these, or maybe can recommend me an even better one for my needs?
thanks in advance
