Amp to Power a Sansamp

Jun 18, 2018

Looking for recommendations for an amp to pair with the GED 2112 to run to a cab. I want to be able to run some stage volume if needed and can only do that now through the monitors. Just need something clean that won’t color the sound too much, and preferably on the inexpensive side. I’ve looked at GK a lot and that seems like the best option right now. Any other suggestions?
 
Here you go .

The geddy pre is rackmount anyway so this would work great . As uncolored as you can get . Here's a partial pic of one of my old rigs . There are used ones in the classfieds quite often . Very reliable too .

An inexpensive 12" powered speaker may be the way to go if you don't want to get an amp, then you have a speaker that is much more of a multi tasker vs a bass amp.
EV ZLX & QSC CP stuff is the good, affordable stuff if you don't want to pony up for the ELX and K series.

That^^^^^^
When I played out on a regular, my amps would do funny things to me. so to eliminate relying on an preamp amplifier, I went the VT pedal to power amp route. Works great, I ran a QSC 2400 power amp( plenty of power, too much for your needs) But you can pick up used lower watt power amps 200-300 watts for $100-200. Get a cheap old peavey cabinet and you are good to go.
