Anemic is not what I am looking for GK has a 200x 1x15 combo wonder how that sounds ? School me on class D power amps? What can I expect? Do they have comparable out put to non class D stuff?
The Class D power amp thing can be quite a quest. I looked around for long time and I was pretty disappointed with most of what I saw. The first one that impressed me was the Markbass and I did a side by side comparison with a 500 watt GK 2x10. I think that made the Markbass sound even bettter
. I wasn't head over heels in love with the Markbass but I liked it and I was about ready to pull the trigger . Then Pilgrim twisted my arm until I tried a Genz Benz and I'm glad he did
. Unlike most equipment I've had, the more I get to know this thing , the more I like it
.
With the Shuttle I don't feel like I settled or sacrificed just to get a lightweight amp. By nature it is very clean but you can warm it up considerably with it's single 12AX7. If you want real dirt you're gonna have to get a pedal. I love it as is, with the clean and warm thing
. It sounds great at high or low volume, it has more definition than any amp I've ever heard and the boost features provide the perfect amount of boost. Most boost features kick in way too strong and start blowing glasses off all the tables in the room. These are more subtle and give you just enough juice to accent a line or stand out for a solo or whatever.
You gotta check out some Genz Benz stuff
