Mid priced amps with........

[Waddycall]

Hi, I’ve been looking for a mid priced amp around 500 - 800 watts with ALL of the following  -

Simple EQ (3 or 4 band no graphic)

decent onboard compressor

decent onboard overdrive

STEREO Aux in (and monitoring)

headphone out (stereo for aux in)

No baked in tone

No amp/cab modelling or other onboard effects

 

So far I’ve found-

Reidmar 750 (asssuming aux in is stereo)

Portaflex 500 (not sure about baked in tone)

 

id be grateful for any recommendations or comments on the above.

I’m in the process of returning an RM800 to Musik Produktiv so won’t be considering another RM.

cheers

Avoid the Ampeg PF500 as I found mine under powered compared to other 500w heads.

 

Its a shame you didn’t like the RM as that is a great choice for what you described and you wouldn’t like the Orange Little Bass Thing 500w as that doesn’t have aux in but it does sound bloody amazing !

Bugera Veyron? Meets your spec except for price. It's only 800W not 2,000 but it is 800W

TC Electronics BH550. Fits all your criteria and is as clean as it gets, tone wise.

Quilter Bass Block?

Thanks for the suggestions folks👍, I’ll look into those. Another thought is that it would preferable for the drive to be switchable without affecting the output volume. Maybe that’s asking too much?
