My experience of Behringer stuff previously hasn't been that positive, but they're built to a price. Also, what's the sound like?[/quote] The build quality is really good, build like the Genz Benz Streamliner Amps. The Amp chassis is made from metal. Some knobs are illuminated, when activ: The Sound is a bit like "vintage", a lot of low end and nice mids. I like it to compare the sound with the Streamliner, but the Veyron has the better equalizer, because this one is easier to use. The ability to select the center frequency of the mids is very helpful. Edited December 15, 2014 by TraceAmp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismuzz Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 It's funny, when I talk about my Markbass amps I always say they're the size of a car stereo. But this even looks like one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscoTetak Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 The one pictured is MOSFET version with active EQ and 5-way mid frequency selector, while the tube version has a Baxandall tone control and 3-way mid freq selector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it very simple, and if I find it simple, trust me, it must be simple I don't look for a "neutral" sound in an amp, I look for a good sound, a sound that works well in the band and makes me smile. It's extremely simple to achieve that on the Streamliner. I'm still curious about the Veyron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny_Innie Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Do you think it actually will be 2000 watts? Will it be much louder than a PF800 or an RH750 for example? It's also quite a cheap thing. Does that mean it'll be quite low quality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solo4652 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 For my use, it wouldn't need to be louder than PF800 or RH750! I'm simply looking for a half-decent, small, light, fairly powerful head I can use as a back-up. Spec looks good on paper. Only review I can find is Dissa's, in German. Hasn't anybody else tried one?

[/quote] 2000w peak would be loud. 2000w RMS (ie continuous power) would be very loud! Saying that, in my experience, D class watts don't produce the volume that the equivalent solid state watts do, which in turn don't produce the volume that valve watts do. Will it be louder than the PF800? Most likely, but nowhere near twice as much - more like 12% louder The RH750 is a bit more contentious due to the 'actual' wattage issue, so best not go there :-) In terms of quality, Bugera is a sub brand of Behinger, who make some poor stuff, and some that is great value for money. I certainly wouldn't dismiss it on the strength of the brand or price. I'm looking forward to seeing the reviews for this.

[/quote] Tried to find actual tech specs rather than the high noise-signal marketing fluff on their site... even the downloaded PDF doesn't give anything away... Looking at their cab blurb they talk about 1000W and then keep the 250W RMS to small print... I'd guess the power handling for the amp is peak but they don't even seem to say what the 2KW power is into - 4 ohms? 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mazdah Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) This is Ampeg PF-500/800 clone. Just like they did with other BVV - they stole SVT-3PRO, 4PRo and SVT-CL design. The blue drivers in this cab are obvious, and they really ARE "world famous" and "british engineered".
