Amp for Eden D215XLT

[Ectagon]

I have an Eden D215XLT, which I really like. Searching the forums here at TB it looks like a lot of you guys have or have used the D215XLT. I recently sold my preamp (Ampeg SVP-Pro) and poweramp (Crown K1), and want to ask if someone would recommend a small lightweight amp to go with the D215XLT? I occasionally play some slow rock and blues...

Thanks.

1001 RB II.

Although, a shuttle 6.0 might get you closer to the Ampeg's sound.

Eden WT550...not as lightweight as the "micro's" but will make that 215 come alive.

I should have mentioned: I sold the Ampeg because I don´t like the hiss and the muddy midrange (at least to my ears). So I guess I want something with clear midrange, smooth top and strong bottom. I have tried an Eden amp, but I could not figure out the connection between the EQ and the tone

Does it exist an amp with the bottom of the Trace Elliot Series 6, the highs of the SWR SM-900, the size and weight of MarkBass Little Mark, that at the same time has a crystal clear midrange?

The Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0 looks awesome. How is the sound, and would it compliment the D215XLT?

I ran a WT550 into a 4 ohm 215XLT. It absolutely KILLED!!!!

Get yourself a Gk 1001 RB if you don't like the Ampeg's sound. I guarantee you will like it.

The shuttle 6.0 will complement any cab you put it with. It's a nice sounding flexible, fairly loud head. However, I would say I did not like its low end as well as a Gk 1001 -- just more beef.

I did the same with a WT400. It always sounded great.

Never tried Gallien-Kruger, but will do now. The MB2 500 looks nice; anyone tried it with D215XLT (or other Eden cabs)?

BTW: The Eden WT550 is too expensive, I'm not a pro.

The MB2 500 is a great little amp. I don't know what it would sound like through a 215, (but it would prolly kill), but I played one through an 810 and it was tight and focused with lots of bottom. Try one out and see what you think.
