Does anyone have experience with this poweramp?

 

Is it any good? How is it in low end for Bb tuning?

 

Can it be better that my CRATE SPA-200?

 

Is is better than Rocktron Velocity 300 which cost more? Why?

 

I'm looking something to replace my Crate SPA-200 but I don't accept worse.

I have an old Valvestate 8008 that I used to use. Not as warm as a valve power amp but the emulation circuitry in the Valvestate mode was definitely warmer than a straight pa solid state power amp.

 

Never downtuned below Eb but providing the frequency range of the amp goes low enough to handle Bb, which you should be able to find out from the specs, I'd guess the speakers/cab you're putting in through will be more of a factor depending on whether the speakers start flapping.

 

I have no experience with the model you're looking at though, sorry, so my comments are probably next to useless to you. :(

It's funny how I always ran into unusual amp series here in Croatia

that noone has tried. Like this marshall, crate-spa (witch is also a guitar amp) velocity 300 etc. :)

 

I'll leave this open cause this is not much visited sub forum.

look at it this way, there really isnt any indication that it will suck absurd levels. with SS amps, the more watts, the more headroom usually and marshalls other SS poweramps have decent reviews. I wouldnt frett to much over it. if its a good price, go for it.
