What kind of amp and cabinet setup are you guys running your Foderas through?

I know this has been asked before, but it's really hard to search for and a lot of threads to sift through.

What kind of amp and cabinet setup are you guys running your Foderas through?


The only amp I have at the moment is a Marshall Lemmy Superbass which I'm running into a Bergantino NV610. The tone is God like with my passive Fenders, but I don't think it's the best setup for active EMGs with an onboard preamp. I also have an Epifani UL-112, so I'm trying to find a good amp to go with it for a more modern sounding rig.

I've been thinking about the Genz-Benz Streamliner, since I found a super good deal on a brand new one, but some of the reviews of a flabby low end are turning me off.


Thanks guys,


Michael

I don't think there is any 'Fodera specific' rig out there that works better or worse with those basses.

If you have EMG soapbars and want a clean but warm articulate sound, the Markbass LMIII (warm but still punchy, very even) or the Markbass F500 (a bit tighter down low, a bit less warm, a bit more aggressive up top) match up wonderfully with the Epi cabs regardless of the bass.

The Genz Shuttle Max heads are marvelous also, again if you want a clean tone that still has some character.

Of course, that would be very different than your big rig.

The Streamliner would be a wonderful head if you wanted a more clean, classic tone from your NV610.
