    Rack mount power amps - what's new or quality?

    Specs say 450W at 2ch x 8 ohms, am I correct in my interpretation that its 450W per channel when each channel is connected to an 8 ohm cab? Just making sure... my pair of fearfuls are 8ohm each. Edit: brochure makes this clear... my interpretation was correct

    Rack mount power amps - what's new or quality?

    Hi all, Been pretty happy with my AxeFX/Matrix GT1000 setup for the past few years but at last night's gig my Matrix completely crapped the bed. Need to get a new power amp, and given that this one failed so spectacularly, I'm curious what else is out there or new on the market. Looking for...

    A little Ampeg advice needed

    Just my two cents: I like both for many reasons. I had an svt 2 for a couple months many years ago and while I loved the tone it provided, it was lacking the tube snort of the svt classic. Does clean tones extremely well. Doesn't give you the SVT growl. I have nothing bad to say about the v4.

    Tell me about expression pedals please

    25K works fine. EX-1 is plastic junk... they are so damn easy to break. Simply put >5lb pressure on it and it's toast. 5lb may seem like a lot but all that requires is a slight correction of balance (something easy to do when you're slamming around stage and then have to run up to the...

    Orange vs Ampeg Cabinet

    I had an Orange TB500 and OBC115/OBC410. The 500 beat the poopie out of those cabs. Ended up selling both cabs because I hated them. As a fan of Orange (I still use a Rockerverb 50 as my gigging guitar amp), I can wholeheartedly say get the Ampeg 410he. Edit: loving that profanity filter.

    Any suggestions for a good overdrive / distortion pedal with a clean blend?

    A used D*A*M Ezekiel would be killer. Clones are even cheaper. :)
