Small, cheap, and lightweight amp as backup!

[PhillAnselmo]

Hi,

i was searching for a backup amp that is easy to carry around. I generally use a velocity 300 + 2x12 TT-Cab, but for my second band i don't want to carry the v300 around every time. So I bought the "the t.amp PM40C" just to test whether it is loud enough.

the t.amp PM40C Endstufenmodul

The facts:
I guess weight is around 1.6kg (haven't measured it)
40Watts
4&8Ohm
Price 55 Euros

THIS THING IS LOUD.. I used it this night for rehearsal and it can definitly keep up with a loud drummer... Nothing for big stadium, but loud enough for my purpose (we play rock).

The sound is good (not highend). I would say the sound character and the feeling is similar to sla2, but not as good as the v300. But the task wasn't to replace the v300, rather to have a small lightweight backup. That is exactly what it is...

Even at higher volumes I couldn't hear nasty disortion from this power amp.
And the reviews in some hifi-forums aren't too bad .

I just ordered another cab (1x12) from Tube-Town where i can mount the amp at the back and i will have a nice little backup rig.

Cheers,
PhillAnselmo

Asking this may be a little retarded but... Where's the output?

It is constructed to be mounted directly at passive monitor to make them aktiv. There are two cables at the back that you can connect directly to the loudspeaker.
