Re: [DTXpress] Amp Recommendations

I asked the same question probably nine months ago and was pointed
towards the Peavey keyboard amps, are they KBs? mostly, and some
recommended the Behringer.

I bought the Behringer and like it, although it's a pretty heavy thing
to lug around. Did I do that because the Behringer has a 15" speaker
and the Peaveys didn't? Can't remember now.

It's been successful enough that the guitar player just bought one (I
think they're lower priced now than when I bought mine .. which to me
indicates a product moving to the end of its life (so buy quickly))
and now we have a stereo backline of two KX1200s with guitar and drums
going through them, in addition to two powered speakers up the front.
That really fills out the sound nicely, I hadn't appreciated how much
it would.

The chap in my local shop that sells Peaveys tried to tell me the
Behringers were unreliable, but the only thing that's happened with
mine is the mounting screws for the amp worked loose and needed
tightening.
