This evil little thing: 15 watts, all tube class A with el84's, one input, two knobs, complete and utter loving screamer. The first batch they made in the 90s had bad output transformers and they developed a bad reputation for reliability - but almost all of them have since been upgraded to a stronger unit. You can pick them up pretty cheaply on the used market. This one cost $330 and sounds like a Matchless Lightning.

I've had one for a while. I gave up trying to program drum tracks and I just learned to play the thing in real time, like a keyboard. For that purpose it works very well. It's actually the first drum machine/controller I've ever owned that actually feels like it was designed to be played like a real instrument. Pads are better than the MPD16 and MUCH better than the Trigger Finger. I thought the Akai was somewhat more solidly built, but I've been pounding the hell out of the Korg for a year now and it's still fine. You'll be happy with it.

magnificent7 posted:Not to be Debbie Downer - but isn't this the thing that can seriously mess up your amp, if you dial in the wrong numbers? DON'T get the Power Soak - those things are notorious. Get either the THD Hotplate or a 50-watt Weber MASS. They sound about the same: as good as those things get. Don't bother with the Mini-MASS or the boutique units. I had a Bluesbreaker reissue with the Hotplate and it was magic. I ran the living hell out of that rig for years with no problems until I stupidly sold them both years ago. The nice thing about the Hotplate is that it only comes in one impedance; 8-ohm, 16-ohm and so on. You can't adjust it. The reason this is good is that your 4-year-old won't be able to twist the chickenhead knob around on your MASS so that it looks like it's set at the correct 8 ohms, when it in fact is set at 2 ohms....thereby causing you to COMPLETELY loving DESTROY YOUR BELOVED SUPER loving EXPENSIVE KENDRICK AMP while running it wide open during a session....

Von posted:We bought one of those earlier this year, and it's a really great amp, but we found it to be incredibly quiet. Since I'm not the guitarist, I didn't think much of it and just mic'd it up, but now I'm curious. Was that just a one-off? Mine's pretty loud for 15 watts, but I don't know if it could keep up with a really loud drummer. It's also one of the least noisy amps I've ever owned.

I remember that thread. That looks a lot cooler than those lovely backward pics had me thinking. I bet it's a kick in the rear end to play.
