power amps

Post by Ben Jack »

What are you guys using for your power amp. when you are using a processor for the pre-amp. It seemed to be the DPC Peaveys were the amp of choice, are they still? Thanks for your input.

Hey Roger.....

How comes your CS-800 weighs only 23 lb's and mine weights out at 47 lb's?

Have I got a lead weight in mine ????

The Walker Stereo Steel does it for me. I have one of those Peavey DCP power amps, and I can pair it with my Boss GX-700 and get a good sound, but the Stereo Steel covers the bases better in terms of versatility, and power-to-weight. Both have a fan, but the Stereo Steel's is much quieter.

I use the Peavey "classic 50/50" and that

I'ts a tube amp.
With that I used the tube-fex.
