Carvin is also 2x50w into 8 ohms, but are they still in existence? I thought they went under last year. The GSS is dual mono, which put me off as I’d wanna play with all the lovely stereo effects in my Helix. The Carvin looks like a great unit, but I wonder if it will “do” 4 ohms even? That leaves the HB and it’s huge power supply box lol! For the money though, that’s a a fun practice rig! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leftfret Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 After hunting high and low for a dedicated bass power amp - and almost buying one of the Hellborg or SWR monsters that Thomann were 'dumping' - stumbled over GSS on the Internet! Didier couldn't be more helpful and the Baby Sumo is fantastic! Does exactly what it says on the tin - transparent sound - paired it with a Lehle Basswitch IQ DI (sadly discontinued) into a single 15" and couldn't be more pleased. (just need to sell one - or both - of my MarkBass heads to pay for it - see Basschat ad!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can find one - buy it! - hand made German quality - very useful mute button - two send/return options - worth every penny/cent!!! Just a pity Jacques retired and stopped building them 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
