Glad to see this site... I have been a warwick player for years, have 5 warwick nt, love them all.
I use a GlockenKlang Heart Rock 11 amp which I love. Does not color the sound of my warwicks.
I use accuu groove speaker cabs as well.
I have put off buying one of the smaller, light amps Reason being, I don't like the way they sound.
They get " buzzy" in the mids. they all seem to color the sound of my bass'.
This was until I bought the Warwick LWA 1000. I can't say enough about this amp. THe Heart Rock
Two mentioned above is the most gorgeous sounding amp I have played through. It should be , as
it cost 2500.00. I was pysched to try the LWA, so I sent for one. I really thought it was going to
be just "okay" , like all the other small amps I tried and returned.
I WAS WRONG. This LWA1000 is unreal in its tightness, clear tone, and fast attack. Before I got
the Glock, which is solid state, I thought I needed a tube amp to have a warm tone. I was wrong.
With a high end solid state, you get a gorgeous warmth with total clarity. The LWA does the same
thing. Because both of them are solid state, the response time, ( time from your fingers to the
speaker ) is lightning fast. Due to this, it really challenges you to improve your technique. Ghost
notes come out clear and on time.
I do have one question, hopefully someone can answer. the lwa 1000 has a headphone out.
The manual says nothing about using this " Without " a speaker connected. In my experience
the head phone out normally allows you do this, so you can practice in silence, only sound
through the head phones.
I'd like to use this feature, but a person can damage an amp if they use it without speakers
connected...
Does anyone know if the LWA 1000 can be used with only head phones and no speaker connected to it ?
NOw that I hear this amp, I wish more local stores carried Warwick heads and amps. I would have
bought one years ago , had I known they sound as good as their bass's.
