Members rb293 Posted January 2, 2006 Members Share Posted January 2, 2006 Has anyone heard the Groovetube Amp SFX100? It is advertised in Keyboard Mag the latest issue. I was thinking of buying a Motion Sound KP200 for my Fanton x8 and Yamaha P250 and Motif ES rack mostly for piano sound. After seeing the add for the sfx100 it got me thinking. Maybe this is a better way to go... Very hard to know if you can't try it before you buy... thanks for any info you can provide!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Julian Posted January 2, 2006 Members Share Posted January 2, 2006 It doesnt seem to be true stereo. You should check some of the threads here that discuss the pros and cons of running in true stereo. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pink floyd cramer Posted January 3, 2006 Members Share Posted January 3, 2006 I think it is true stereo Julian- do you think that they are talking about synthesizing stereo from a mono source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jeff da Weasel Posted January 3, 2006 Members Share Posted January 3, 2006 [putting on GT hat] I do Groove Tubes' marketing (independently), so be aware. Yes, the SFX 100 is true stereo, and it will NOT work with a mono source. you need to feed it stereo to get the effect. If you're familiar at all with miking techniques, the SFX100 works just like an M/S stereo microphone setup, except in reverse (being speakers, not mics). The best test is hearing it... it should be in stock at most Guitar Centers. Make sure you demo it using true stereo sources... piano, organ w/leslie effect, EPs all sound great through it. You can get more info here at the GT site. [/putting on GT hat] - Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dabowsa Posted January 3, 2006 Members Share Posted January 3, 2006 Jeff, I noticed your name on some of their press releases. Do you get to play around with the stuff, or just take pictures and write words? Can you clarify "all sound great through it" outside your GT tags? If not, expound on it with your hat on - I'd love to hear more about this lightweight, small footprint, low cost, full range stereo amplification system!
