800 Watt compact bass head?

As a long time tech, I generally tend to look at extraneous switches and knobs as needless potential failure modes more than tone sucks per se. But that's just me, and I do also see simplicity as a good thing in terms of sound quality in some cases. But OTOH one of my rigs does up to 150 bands of parametric EQ if desired. ;)

:eek:

Dollar per wat.... Genz 9 or LM800


All have simple control layouts.

Edit: Puma spec fixed and AI added to list

Yeah, I forgot about the WWU. Seven pounds, 1,200 watts. Not too good for the $/W, though. About $2 per watt, used.
