Members Trauma_Luna Posted October 24, 2007 Members Posted October 24, 2007 i was bidding for an Ampeg SVT-1540HE but i lost it X_x.. i need a good/cheap/nice tone amp before december.. i can spend like $600.. any suggestions will be appreciated
Members L-1329 Posted October 24, 2007 Members Posted October 24, 2007 Look for a used Genz Benz GBE600. There's no need to thank me.
Members basste Posted October 24, 2007 Members Posted October 24, 2007 Use combo GK 400RB115 or 400RB210 (180 watts under 8 ohms, 280watts under 4 ohms if you add an extra 8 ohms cab)
Members NeonVomit Posted October 24, 2007 Members Posted October 24, 2007 Can't go wrong with GK. My 400RB was dirt cheap, made in USA, tiny, reliable and sounds awsome. The only gripe I have with it is the 280watts of power. Which is probably gonna be solved when I get an 1001RB (if I decide to go that route ) Oh and apparently, if you call GK, Bob Gallien himself picks up the phone
Members J the D Posted October 24, 2007 Members Posted October 24, 2007 I've got both a 400 RB and a 700 RB. I bought them both for less than $600.
Members justinbass Posted October 24, 2007 Members Posted October 24, 2007 I will also suggest looking for a used Genz Benz GBE 600. If you can't find that, get a GK 700 RB. Both amps sound fantastic and are reliable as hell.
Members guitargod0dmw Posted October 24, 2007 Members Posted October 24, 2007 GK 1001 RBII...you can get a brand new one from rmcaudio for $600.
Members frunobulax Posted October 24, 2007 Members Posted October 24, 2007 Gallien Kruger 800RB. the industry standard for SS for years. a decent used one will be about $400.
Members jackcheez Posted October 24, 2007 Members Posted October 24, 2007 Gallien Kruger 800RB. the industry standard for SS for years. a decent used one will be about $400. A great amp.
Members zachoff Posted October 24, 2007 Members Posted October 24, 2007 Peavey, Yorkville, and Ashdown will probably do you well if you don't like or can't find a GK.
Members rpsands Posted October 24, 2007 Members Posted October 24, 2007 Just to toss another suggestion on here: Sansamp RBI + Power amp is another good solid ~ 600.00 price range amp. However, the SVT1540HE is a cabinet as far as I know. If you need a head + cab for 600, you're going to be buying Peavey.
Members Hawkeye Posted October 24, 2007 Members Posted October 24, 2007 Look for a used Genz Benz GBE600. There's no need to thank me. Another vote for the GBE600. I've been using one for 1.5 yrs now and been extremely pleased with it. Very flexible, lots of tones in there, quite powerful, does 2 ohms without flinching, slices, dices..... I replaced my Ampeg SVT III Pro with the GBE600 and retired my Traynor YBA 200 in favor of the GBE750.
Members Billystrat Posted October 24, 2007 Members Posted October 24, 2007 Since I'm lazy and don't gig with tubes much, I've had great experiences with GK 400RBHartke 3500 and any Peavey amp whatsoever
