All user reviews for the Rocktron Velocity 100

pure transistor
50w w / channel into 8 ohms (watts transistors, little, so ...)
volume per channel outputs are doubled.
ins and outs jacks 6.3

UTILIZATION

very simple, no need for manual (although there are one or two tips for use in "Bridged" (mono = one column, and 100 watts)
sound good? say it does not add anything to the sound anyway. But let's be honest, it does not diminish either. Still quite dry, it really lacks "corones."
This is not about volume, or play loud, just the feeling of presence and thickness without comparison with something more upscale. Without wanting to compare what is not comparable, beside a mesa fifty / fifty, it's just not the same world.

OVERALL OPINION

the +
small practice amp power, lightweight, not bulky and cheap, and reliable if used for what it is (ie without the pull back permanently).
the -
nothing when you consider the price. After ben precisely, it is worth that price.

Amp rack unit height, compact and lightweight transistor. The power is dlivre 2x55 W 4 Ohm, 8 Ohm 2x40 W ... The connection is through jacks, two knobs in faade for two channels and switch On / Off. It is very simple and functional.

UTILIZATION

I will say right now, I do not use it for a guitar cabinet, but for a vintage copy of Leslie, which made the amp myself for many years. As the original silent dj amp transistor, I was looking to replace it with an advantageous solution. An active crossover for Spar chssis the driver of low HF (15 ') and an amp of about 80 W (8 Ohm) and I found the Rocktron Velocity 100 in the opportunity for a price more than adequate (60 Euros).

SOUNDS

I tonn of the dynamics of this little amp. Dynamics encountered in the usual amp lamps. Dveloppe power for my Leslie is ample, and I get my voice with my organ even when the beater is trs motiv ... For sound, I can not say that it modlise great sound. It amplifies what to properly expand and add a good EHR EHJV and dynamic sound, and it's something j'apprcie much.

OVERALL OPINION

For the price I pay I can not complain. J'apprcie particulirement the small size and light weight (approx. 6 kg), the dynamic enough thunder from a transistor amp and the quality at all. I will give it a try once we scratch, I may be even give an opinion by a person using the right use!

This is a stereo power amplifier transistor.

The power is 2x55 watts RMS into 4 ohms, 2x40 watts RMS into 8 ohms and 2x28 watts RMS into 16 ohms.

The connection is simple:
2 X input
2 X two outputs in parallel (so you can connect up to 4 speakers) ...

Two master knob (one per channel) and an on / off switch.

Which patterns are simple, but that's exactly what I wanted, so difficult to rate ...

UTILIZATION

It's very simple to use, you really have to want to understand or not to hurt him.

One connects the inputs, you plug the speakers properly (some problem with the impedances, you just have to be careful not connect two 4 ohm speakers on the same channel and not to short the channels between them), you plug the food, and that's it.

The manual is clear and sufficient.

Bcp not control for the sound, just the volume ...

SOUNDS

It is a power amp, so it amplifies what he is asked to amplify ... So yes it suits my style of music.

I use a Marshall JMP 1 and Rocktron Xpression. I use for a Harley Benton G212 speaker stereo (2 x 16ohms). For the rest, see my profile.

I wanted a simple power amp with good sound, not too strong because I wanted to enjoy the home without a JMP to share it with neighbors. Rocktron Velocity 100 and is perfect for that.

Edit 17/07/2008: not too powerful, too powerful to be said quickly anyway. Even with the baffles 16ohm, must play with the switch knob and the output of the Xpression, and not exceed 1 / 4 volume on the channels of the velocity, otherwise it crisis in the building ...

OVERALL OPINION

I've had about 2 weeks, bought OCCAZ.

I like the power contained, modified according to the impedance of the stereo, the two volume knobs ...

I have not tried the other model, it seemed made for me.

Quality / price ratio excellent.

I would do this choice without a doubt.

Everything has already been said. See previous reviews so ...
The big advantage from my point of view is the number of speaker outputs (2 in / / per channel)
that connects two stereo speakers or 4 mono. on the other hand, no presence control
and other subtleties of the genre but is it relevant to a transistor amplifier?
No possibility of either "bridge" the outputs.
1U and very reasonable weight which is a big advantage.

UTILIZATION

Setup could not be more simple. No settings if this is the volume per channel so no need to take
the head to use it. Obviously should not do anything at notament impedances of speakers. But as long as the impedance per channel does not drop below 4 ohms, there's no worries.
The only downside is the noise which is annoying ventillos for use a (very) low volume apartment.

SOUNDS

I use this amp with a power-Tech21 PSA1, TC GMajor and baffles or 2 * 12 4 * 12 marshall.
Compared to my head JCM900 which I used only the power section, I find the sound more defined
+ and respects the grain of the preamp on sounds notament typed marshall (ironic, no?)
As against the clean sounds lose some heat but in part, against the effects are more intelligible. I also rediscovered my GMajor who really gives its full potential in a
config stereo (nothing to do!)

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it months ago qq. I had hesitated qq years ago thinking he was a little notament right level power. So, I had a 100W head lamps. Then I decided to take a chance and told me that at worst it would for the home (mistake) or if the pb with the head lamps. Qq after repeated tests, I replaced the JCM900 by Rocktron. The power output is more than enough for me (half volume in groups of rock / metal drummers with noisy). Do not hesitate to push the volume of the preamp on the other hand (a kind of clean and check that it does not saturate the input of Poweramp). So I m'economise transporting a head of twenty kg, with its powerful enough, qq little different but not worse, but happiness ... In addition, there's not much Poweramp in this price range. Purchase reasonable and practical.

Is the transistor (a MOSFET for each ct pack), while jack with volume + 1 fan per channel ....

UTILIZATION

See more advice trs explicit ...

SOUNDS

Trs's "hi-fi" which amplifies the more possible and Fidler prampli therefore respects the chain and all upstream!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for several months and with a good speaker in vintage30 or G12H, power is more than enough to frighten the other musicians!
BMOL small, the fan is a bit noisy in the studio or apartment, despite its replacement by a so-called ultra-quiet MODEL! It is available at the receiver that makes it very discreet!
On a good value qualitprix trs, trs is a good choice especially if one takes into account also its power / weight ratio!

See below ...

UTILIZATION

Yeah it's easy to settle, you're a volume for each channel, and voila. Such connections, nothing fancy.

SOUNDS

Plugged in my stuff, there's a tuner, Preamp Engl E530, a dual channel EQ, a small AX3000G of Korg. Ben sound, yes, it is good. It complies with the grain of the above config, yes ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two months and I am happy, apart of course this s *** fan that sounds like a madman in a studio! Certainly you do not care to live but in you like that ... It makes noise. But all that to say that yes, he is well, he did what he asked ... But I do not really understand why we are forced to slam 250 balls in a stupid power amp what ... Furthermore it is first prize! What is the real difference with a power amplifier PA has con T Bone 60 balls? Serious? Must stop making fun of us. The suckers.
