eude Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 [quote name='mart' timestamp='1358453066' post='1939594'] Price is now on the site: £739 RRP. [/quote] That's a lot of amp for the money! Apparently it's a Hellborg designed preamp stage too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mart Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I guess. But I think I prefer your suggestion of a single channel amp, especially if it were lighter and cheaper (as it should be). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is basically 2 times what I need/want. You never know, they may be testing the water with this and will see how it goes. Eude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 That looks like a great amp! Would be especially great for having one clean and one dirty channel live.. Hmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a useful amp for people for switch between two different basses live. Maybe I'm just too used to multi-channel guitars amps that have a single input and switchable channels.

[/quote] Reckon it'd be useful for folks who double on upright and regular electric bass. I'm not sure you could get a dirty tone from it anyway, is it's all solid state so it might sound nasty as it breaks up. Eude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking two separate feeds from the pedalboard, one clean and one dirty [/quote] So, somewhere on your board you need a device that splits the signal into a clean and a dirty. Ok, "link" might not sound like "split" but they mean the same thing in my head! Anyway, now I see where you are coming from. It took me a while, because I've always gone for the simple bass -> cable -> amp set-up! Edited January 18, 2013 by mart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Me too! But the possibilities of two seperately driven cabs practically has me drooling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the possibilities of two seperately driven cabs practically has me drooling [/quote] Fair enough, but this amp only has one output, so won't do that, will it? Just spotted another application though: if you've two bassists in your band, they could both go through this one amp. So that's Ned's Atomic Dustbin sorted!

In the video on the Warwick page they sell it as being good for bassists who use two different basses during their set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Meh, presets and footswitches are better for that IMHO, stereo in / stereo out would have been much handier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mart Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 It does seem an odd choice. It presumably has two preamps but a shared power amp. So only a small saving compared with a proper stereo set-up. But I can see it's more simple and intuitive than a memory/presets amp, and that's going to appeal to some people.
