Best Power Amp for Modelers

[zebric21]

Get one, works a treat, there is a lot of snobbish behaviours about anything that’s not a big name but seriously it’s a great it of kit

I got the orange pedal baby eventually. I use a dual mono setup live running stereo cabs. It works great and dare to say sounds a lot better than class d amps.

Pedal baby is great it would be perfect if it had a mid control IMHO

IDK, Fryette has too much highs.. If I lower the presence it gets a bit muddy for my taste. My ideal is Marshall plexi amp and I have a couple but for quick practice I like to use a Spark or AM4 now. So, Pedal baby is not bad, now I heard Blueguitar AMP1 is a good choice as well so I might try that one instead of SD PS...

I like the KSR’s sound a bit more personally but I didn’t know it existed when I got the PS100. I didn’t care enough to sell it and get the KSR, and that’s saying something for me and the Fryette. I’m insatiable.

Get two of them. Thinking of pulling a trigger on another one myself for stereo...

I'm thinking pulling the plug for a harley benton gpa-400 rack unit. Stereo operation is a must for single guitar work. Reading from the manual :
Slew rate 8 ms. Anyone know if this number is a good thing or not for fast guitar work?

I haven't heard of anything like that on this GPA-400 device, but
I haven't noticed any problems with fast playback and sounds or anything else too.
Works well and sounds great and there haven't been any problems.

I used guitar cabs with Warwick Gnome, Harley Benton GPA 100 and lately the Powerstage 170, which was clearly superior, but did not satisfy me to 100%. Now I got a Crown XLI 1500 power amp, big and heavy, but the feeling for the amp is back again and playing is much more fun.

Everyone is sleeping on the ISP Stealth power amps. They're the closest sounding to a tube amplifier in my experience.

All of them are good, but I've tried the SD Powerstage 170, the Orange Pedal Baby, the Blackstar Amped 1, and I've owned the Rocktron Velocity amps in the past, and for me the one that makes my modeler or capture device sound the most like my real amps is the ISP Stealth. It's awesome.
