Buzz Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) The amps look pretty well spec wise, rather functional and elegant in it's simplicity. Wonder what the cost is. Edit: £1000 for the 400W hybrid amp. Edited January 28, 2008 by Buzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassmouseman Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Looks like quite nice gear! not sure where you would get to try one out tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I've tried those, sounded very nice with lots of guts behind them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Hevos are very well thought of in Europe. I had one of their amps as a house amp when I gigged in Holland and it was brilliant, very warm and organic yet retaining articulation.

G-bitch Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I know of a very picky Frenchman who never fails to be underwhelmed by most gear - his dream rig is a hevos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I'm wondering how do Hevos and Genz Benz compare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass_ferret Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Interesting looking gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 What I'm interested in with the Hevos gear is the twin power amps of the 800D which also offers 2ohm loading and a pre/power amp in a 1u rack mountable package. If it had twin inputs for 2 basses like the Eden WT1205 I'd be 90% happy (pending gig testing). Bit pricey with the Euro at its current rate though.

bass_ferret Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 If I wanted to have 2 basses plugged in at the same time I would get one of [url="http://www.ebs.bass.se/2007/microbass.htm"]these[/url]. Oh, I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, they're almost twice the cost of a Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0. Would I really be getting twice the value? As Poptart pointed out, I might as well get two Shuttle 6.0 amps if I need to send to two 4ohm cabs, plus I get stereo if I ever want it too. The Neo Paks also deliver to a 2 ohm load although not in a neat 1u rack space. Hevos also mentioned they've been screwed over in the past in the UK although he didn't give any details. That would explain his reluctance to look at other distribution I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
