Do these ever pop up used for sale ? The BB3 ?

I’m looking to buy a BB3 or a BT3. If anyone knows anyone who has for sale

I just bought one of these for 1200 from a guy on Marketplace. I still can’t believe it. Amazing bass! Plays like a dream

That makes sense. If I remember correctly, the GSS Sumo power amps do not have that certification. So it’s a bit of a gamble , but everyone I’ve heard from who has one , says good things.

Sometimes..you gotta break a few eggs.

I don’t think I’d be the first person to ever get an amp with more power than the cab was rated for. Maybe I’m foolish , but i think there is a growing market for straight up ( healthy)power amps , with a low cut feature ( switch). Something single channel

Yes , thank you. AgedHorse cleared that up for me yesterday. I am not a scientist. To be quite honest, I did see the “800 watt rating “ and immediately began looking for an 800 watt at 8ohm power amp solution. That said , I dont think I’ve ever ran the main volume past 1 O clock. ( just over...

There just aren’t any options I could find for 600 watts at 8ohms.

After some digging , I came up with this : Noble to GSS Sumo To Big Baby 3 Otherwise , I did find that I like the Mesa Subway stuff(as a way to have a backup pre) , but it’s far more features than I need .

RevOrge, phschim, Horse, and everyone else...I really appreciate the info. Some very good advice. Has actually helped me figure a few things out.

No N4860 , I’d like to bypass the pre , but be able to have low cut options, like the way some Crown or other Power Amps offer.

This is the specs for a popular Crown XLS Power Amp , and this is one I have access to. ( wouldn’t have to buy) I did read all comments above. Per side , at 8ohm it’s only 300 watts , but bridged at 8ohms it seems to be more than enough. Correct me if I’m wrong, but just because it can do...

AgedHorse - I’ve been reading / learning from your post for years. So no disrespect. I admitted , I typed incorrectly when I said 1000 watts. Another thing apparently that is getting missed in this context- is that I already am going into the fx return on my Darkglass head , but I’ve noticed...

The Big Baby is 8ohms. 800 watts RMS. Maybe you didn’t see that , but I posted the screen shot above. That said …this being highly subjective , most preamps on most amplifier heads in the market are colored in some fashion. That’s part of why people like them. I am trying my best to avoid...

Actually…my friend , you are misunderstanding the specs.
