I'll give you a free bump on a great amp deal. But I'm more interested in your feelings on the Looperlative. Is it all that it's supposed to be?

I love my LP-1...I'd pick it over an Echoplex/Repeater/etc. any day of the week. The sound of it has also greatly improved since it was first introduced- software updated have eliminated almost all of the noise that was originally present. One of its big features is also one of its big drawbacks- the fact that it's operated and run by one guy. Bob recently hired a second person to help him out. Right now he is building a bunch of new units apparently, so he hasn't had the time to update the software with new features much lately (based off of the wishlist us users put up on the Looperlative forum), but its feature set is still much better for what I do than any other looper out there.

To answer a couple PMs I received, I'm not looking for any trades other than a Little Mark II.

bump for an awesome power amp!

bridged?

[Mrdak]

Yeah what does that one do bridged please? 4 ohms?

nope, doesnt bridge given its design.

but then again, w/ 900 watts @ 4 ohms on each side, you're still pulling 1800 watts w/ two or more cabs!

Correction: 550 watts @ 4 ohms but still, come on. How much power do you need? Two 4 ohm cabs and you get 1100 watts.

[jokerjkny]

oops!

my bad, thinking of the 1804...

[Bryan R. Tyler]

Thanks for the responses, guys- my SECOND pc broke down this weekend, so I'm not able to get on much. I got the 1104 specifically because the fact that it doesn't bridge allows it to be a lot more shallow than the other models and lets it fit into an SKB shallow rack, and has more than enough power for me. I'm not going to need a stereo setup anymore, so I'm just switching to a tiny head.

[Mrdak]

OK, then it doesn't run at 2 ohms? right?

[Bryan R. Tyler]

I haven't checked the manual, but I wouldn't think it would. It does run on two separate channels though, so you can still power two 4 ohm cabs. Just can't power four 4-ohm cabs

So I need a crossover, or stereo preamp right?

[Bryan R. Tyler]

To run both sides at once you'd need a crossover, two preamps, or stereo preamp, yes (which is what I had- I split my signal with an ABY pedal and ran it into two preamps). It's basically like having two separate power amps, with each one doing either 325w at 8ohms or 550w at 4ohms.

Bump

This is a steal on a really nice amp. Just for reference, the PLX2 xx04 series doesn't do bridged or 2 ohm loads, but is is smaller and 8 pounds lighter.

Driving both channels from a single source: The PLX2 xx04 doesn't have a "parallel mono" mode that you set with the DIP switches, but you can jumper between the unused channel A input and one of the channel B inputs to drive both channels with a single input on Channel A. You don't need any splitter or anything. The easiest way is to bring your input in on the Channel A XLR, then run a 1/4" patch between the A and B 1/4" input jacks.
