franzbassist Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Does anyone know of any other small footprint power amps out there? SWR Amplite - rare Demeter Minnie - expensive! Quote
Dood Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Hey chap! I'd probably just go for one of the 1U sized D Class heads like the Eich T series, MarkBass F1 or F500, Gallien Kruger MB500 or MB800 (Or Fusion models) , (TC BH500 or BH800 for a little larger) and plug in to the effects return socket, which ends up being kinda the same thing. Simply because the cost of these small but loud stand alone power amplifiers can be higher than buying the mass produced head equivalent. What's inside the box is often the [s]same[/s] similar power amplifier guts anyway ha! That said, if the price was good, I;d have probably stumped up for the Demeter as it gets good reviews, but the the Bergantino B|Amp came along, and that is a seriously nice amplifier. Quote
No lust in Jazz Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 What Dood said, I owned the Demeter and A/B'd it against the power section of a Markbass LM3 - very little difference. Quote

Jack Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 That Baby Sumo looks amazing, hadn't seen that before. You know your stuff Charlie, is it any good? Quote
Opticaleye Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 The Quilter BB800 has an XLR in to work as a power amp and is tiny. You get the added bonus of a quality "tubey but transparent" sounding preamp . The power section is an upgraded QSC K10/12 module especially enhanced for bass. Quote
