Walter Woods Amps History and Development
- Thread starter Uncletoad
- Start date
sorry, keeping mine. sold one last year. probably underpowered for what most people want to do (225 into 8 per side, i think, forget the wattage into 4).
as ken mentioned, the puma bonafide seems like good thing—and it's cheaper than a woods. i was thinking about the one in the tb classifieds, but went with a puma 500 instead as i needed maximum portability, not stereo capability.

- I play it all. Whatever works for the gig. Q+
Ryan .. I see you got a Glock! Nice... I was talking with bobby vega yesterday and he loves his glocks! raves about them all the time....
I need to try one..

Yes the glock is amazing, super sensitive and very clean much like the Walter woods amps. I might even say too clean because every bit of finger noise and movement comes through. Once I learn better how to play with it I'm sure it will sound even better.
I have a big band gig where I play upright and electric and with my glock I love the electric through my hd210 and I love the upright through the hd112..... That's why the stereo ww is peaking my interest.....
I really should just get back to practicing.

i think my ww is 225 watts into 8 ohms per side. maybe 300 watts per side into 4?
check out the bonafide in the classifieds here. might be good for you. i seriously considered it, but didn't need all the features.

Yes. 2 independent channels, 2 independent power amps. Each channel has a pan, and you can do exactly as you say. I have done that before. Without PA support, it is the perfect rig for doubling.
Awesome, I really want to give it a try.... Unfortunately I don't think Walter has made and stereo models for quite a few years.
Walter did at one time, 6 different Electroacoustic models. Now he just builds the Ultras (blue light). They operate at 8 or 4 ohms.

I have the amber light, high power amp (I think that is what they call them)
It's 450@8 and 650 @4.
I love it. No regrets

Can one of you current WW ultra owners let me know if these dimensions are correct for the amp?
3.5 tall 12.25 wide 8.5 deep
Thanks.

Physical size were/are the same for most WW amps so that looks correct; that height is including handle and feet, the amp itself is 2 3/4" high.
Ok. I'm looking into a bag that fits and I don't my woods with me for a few days.
But you guys think the size numbers I have are right? I found them online.

Walter has not changed size in at least 15 years, so that sounds right. Mooradian makes a great WW bag. Not cheap, but then neither is the Walter!
Does anyone know if Walter is still in business, and since I don't answer my phone at work... If he calls you back, what are the first 3 digits of the number?
I really want an electroacoustic, but reaching him is darn near impossible!
