It's not a stupid idea, and it's something I've looked into myself (I have a Connex amp module and SMPS that I picked up a couple of years ago waiting to be put to use). But to be really effective for bass amp use you would need to sort out cooling fans and some sort of limiter, and ideally an HPF on the input too. And the price works out at a point where you could pick up a fairly nice rack power amp secondhand.

Yeah, I guess that making it all up will tot up the price. They have some plate amps which come all set up. I have tried one on a BF FR and it certainly delivered.

Alien did that for another BassChatter and the results were very good. It was a while ago and I've certainly thought about doing that with one of their latest gen amplifiers that from a geek perspective are ace!

I remember that amp and it is what was kind of making me think out loud.
The Hypex PSC2.400 which features 4 fully programmable DSP memories are 275 Euros excl Vat. They are discontinued. Someone tell me why I should not do this.
