So here is my rack-mount set-up:
- Rocktron Piranha- Midi (tube) Preamp,
- BBE Sonic Maximizer- General noise control
- Ibanez UE 405-
- Compressor,
- Stereo Chorus,
- Parametric equalizer,
- Analog Delay
+Plus a Korg DTR-1000 tuner, and a Furman PL - 8 Power conditioner.
Here is my problem. I need a power amp to go with this, and I'd like to
find one with out any EQ or gain controls. I just want volume. I've
thought about trying to find a slave head to use, but for convience sake
I'd like to find somethign rack mount. If you have any suggestions I'd
love to hear them.
This is all going to a custom made cabnet that can handle up to 725 watts.
- Eminence Big Ben 15" (up to 225 Watts)
- x2 Jensen P8R 8" (up to 50 WAtts each)
- x2 Jensen C12K 12" (up to 200 Watts each)
I also have a 15" extention cab with a Big Ben in it that I use in larger
venues.
Thanks for ayn help I get.
p.s. I'd ideally like some thing that runs best at 8 ohms

| There's many power amps on the market. Do you want all tube or solid state?

Either or, I'm trying to minimize feed back and still get a solid
distortion sound. The main thing of it all is enough power, and
affordablilty

I would go with a tube power amp, but if your trying to save a buck it's
proberly not for you. Solid State is fine just doesn't have the warm tone I
like.

I also have a Rocktron Piranha and BBE Sonic Maximizer. I run them through
a Mesa Boogie Fifty/Fifty Power amp. It is rack mounted (2RU) has plenty of
power and brings out the tone of the Piranha. It really gives my rig
balls.
A good power amp makes a huge difference. Definitely go tube if you want a
big rich sound.
You should be able to pick one up second hand if you can't afford one new.
