AlpherMako4 Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Experiences and opinions please??? Looking at one for my back up amp. Thanks in advance Quote
sykilz Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 I had the less powerful Tour 450, which is pretty much identical other than power, and it was a good, solid amp, never let me down, not a particularly characterful amp, but had a very usable e.q . to me it sounded not dissimilar to my friends Ampeg pro 7 (?) amp, which cost him huge money....!!!!! Heavy buggers though by todays standards, but well built. Hope this helps a bit. Quote

It's ok sounds good at the bottom end but not as clean and punchy as the mesa boogie. But yeah if the 750 is anything like this one I'd recommend it. Interesting that the DI works on 48v phantom so still works if the amp fails or the amp is switched off. Edited February 29, 2016 by jazzyvee Quote
3below Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Have two of them The second was such a good price it seemed a waste not to. At one point I also owned a Marshall VBA 400 and was able to AB the Tour 700 and Marshall with my Barefaced cabs. I no longer have the Marshall, the bass was to my hearing and taste much 'tighter' and 'controlled' with the Peavey. The weight was rather more acceptable as well. I find the Kosmos feature of no use. Quote
AlpherMako4 Posted February 29, 2016 Author Posted February 29, 2016 This is great advice guys. Thanks Quote
AlpherMako4 Posted March 11, 2016 Author Posted March 11, 2016 I've picked one up for an absolute bargain. Great back up amp. Quote
LewisK1975 Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Every one of these I've ever heard has sounded really good to my ears. YMMV. Quote
