Experienced
I know there are a ton of posts about the various power amps that people are using with the Axe, but I wanted to share my experience...
I got my ultra about 3 months ago and used my Mesa/Boogie 2:50 (with 6V6's) and was pleased with the results. However, I wanted to try the SS option and take advantage of the Power Amp Sims on the Axe. Also, I don't gig anymore, so the Boogie was way more power than I needed...and I live in an apartment.
Using this forum, I researched a lot of SS options. I finally settled on the QSC GX-3 partly for the 1/4 jacks and partly because I could purchase it locally. I used the power amp for two weeks, but it seemed to be missing something. After the two weeks, I found a good deal on an ART SLA-2 so the QSC went back to Guitar Center.
The SLA-2 arrived a few days ago and immediately I was impressed. I don't know if it is the combonation of the Ultra with SLA-2 that many people here already rave about, but to my ears, it was a major improvement over the GX-3.
