U5 users: What kind of amp?

[Jungle Dog]

What amps have you run your Avalon U5 through in live situations and how do you set them? I had intended to use a PA system type power amp but I get the feeling lots of guys are using U5s with regular bass amps like I am right now so I'm interested in what amps folks are using with their
U5s and how they set them.

you mean you are running it in-line with your amp and not as a stand along preamp?

I'm using it as a preamp connected to a little Peavey single 15 combo amp with the Peavey's pre-volume set real low and the Peavey's EQ set flat or sometimes with small adjustments to compensate for unpleasant resonant frequencies existing in some rooms. At big shows I use it as a DI for the mains and through the Peavey for my stage sound.
