Countdown « Really good! »
Published on 07/17/12 at 12:25Power amplifier (PowerAmp) to transisitors.
1U, 23 cm deep weighing about 4kg.
Its power is 120w in bridged mono or 60w per channel in stereo.
4 knobs on the front ... a level and a channel definition. The definition is a kind of "contour" which is very effective.
At the rear, an input and two outputs per channel, and a small switch for mono or stereo! (See photo in "medium" if interested).
Note that it is an absolute silence ... but I'm just confirming what has already been said! Nevertheless, it is important to play at home at low volume, for example ... (where my Brunetti Rockit was unbearable!)
UTILIZATION
The sound is downright good.
No staining of the preamp connected upstream.
Be careful anyway because the power is there. A previous opinion has been well said that it is usable in all situations!
SOUNDS
I use it with my trusty JMP1.
I play pretty hard and heavy (mostly distortion, so) and the sound is right, proper, balanced. Full bodied and dynamic ... It really boosts the preamp. All that was plugged into it grew nickel (Piranha, E530, RockMaster)
It is connected in two stereo 2x12 (in a V30 and the other in Eminence).
In clean, it is also. The effects are well rendered, especially the chorus that I use almost constantly on this channel. Really clean.
OVERALL OPINION
I own this amp for a little over 2 years. I bought it to amplify a Marshall JMP1 acquired at the same time ... and all the two are still in their rack at home (a really good team!). This is my amp a little extra to play with me!
I love the knobs "definition" that allow or not to dig the sound, which is not bad in stereo with 2 identical cabs with different HP!
There is nothing I dislike.
I tried a Marshall VS8008 and Brunetti Rockit and Velocity has nothing to envy them. Well, I did not play big PowerAmp all tubes, it's true, but for less than 150 euros ... it does not exist eh?!
The value for money is phenomenal! When I think after you buy it, many parties Cygnus 30 or 40 euros less ... but hey, it does not matter, this is the one I wanted!
I will not delay to offer me a 2U lamps but I would keep my Velocity!
