Cheap portable rig

[Mr. Foxen]

Just picked up a power block for cheap on ebay, planning on passing on to a guitarist. Since its 75w a side stereo, I just plugged my Sansamp into the fx return and plugged it into the rig of Doom (Aguilar GS412 and a ABM 8x10). Does fine, not much really low, but fine, portable solution, except for the cabs. Handy back packable rig for bus jammers.

The powerblocks are fantastic amps and I wish they'd make one for bass, even though they work fine for them anyway! I bought one for £50 new a few years back and stupidly sold it

Brilliant little things aren't they?

According to the signal schematic, the FX returns on these have speaker simulation on them (ie treble & bass roll off).
I mostly use mine to drive foldback so I plug into the CD input instead, which doesn't do this.

Give it a go - it only needs a jack to phono lead.
