The best flat-response power amp in the market.

Had the opportunity to try out this unit by chance at a show and I was blown away by it. This power amp sparked my efforts to build my first ever guitar rack system and this was my first purchase towards that goal. Worrh every penny spent on it & now I have people begging me to sell mine to them. Not gonna happen!

Tube-like solid state amplifier. Powerful and quiet.

Use this in my W/D/W rig. Great stereo rack mount power amp. 2 channels. Addition of fans make it whisper quiet and cool under all conditions, especially in the studio. A lot of people use these in their AxeFx-type set up with great results. Can run mismatched cabs too - a nice bonus. Completely transparent and a great piece of gear.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Number of channels- 2 Watts per channel rms @ 4 ohms- 500 Watts per channel rms @ 8 ohms- 325 Watts per channel rms @ 16 ohms- 150 Bridged mode rms @ 8 ohms- 1000 Bridged mode rms @ 16 ohms- 650 Input sensitivity 0.775V Frequency Response (+/-3db ref 1kHz) 8hz-24kHz Weight 4.1kg

Clean and powerful solid state amplifier

I bought this expressly to run my AxeFx out to a standard guitar cab (Port City OS 212) and it's filled that job beautifully. It doesn't really provide much, if any, coloration to the sound. If anything, it's a very subtle warmth which is not unwanted in my configuration. I've never gone past 30% power before my ears were bleeding, so I can't imagine a scenario it couldn't handle. There's a 1U model that has a bit more fan noise, but otherwise performs similarly based on reviews I've read.
