Class D Brits

[4 Strings]

I'm thinking of a new amp and looking for something powerful 500W+, want it to be small and British. Genz UK would be good.

Who have I got?

Orange Terror - great but, I think, too dirty sounding for me and a bit big.
Ashdown MiBass - ideal, looking to see how they fare

What else is there? Interested to see Matamp playing with a Class D power amp, but I still don't think that's going to be small.

Are there any others?

The Matamp one is supposed to be in a Minimat box, so pretty small.

Purple Chili have one but it's not particularly small casing though

If you want something that's actually made in England...

MiBass do look good too but havent had chance to try one yet.

Hi, thanks all, with the Terror, Minimatamp, Purplae Chili and the big LB there's certainly a theme unfolding!

Certainly the MiAmp was the sort of thing about which I was thinking but its all good.

Any others?

When I went down to the Matamp factory they also had a prototype for a 500w Class D amp in a 'gig-bag sized' case - think Markbass F1 size. Didn't play through it much but it sounded pretty cool.

That sounds great. Would love to see/hear that.

Yeah, the Class D Matamp prototype is tiny!

Its not small as in Genz or MB small but its very light, looks cool and goes down to 2 ohms

Got a few gigs under my belt with mine and its very good

and the preamp is point to point done in the UK by denis cornell

Could you stick up a pic? How much was it (if you don;t mind me asking)?

Not the greatest pics but you get the idea i hope!

Pics are great, thanks very much. The amp is still quite a lump, b interested to compare it to the Matamp.

How's it sound?
