Re: [DTXpress] Best Keyboard amp for under £500 .00

2005-10-03 by Mose

This will be yet another PRO Behringer KX1200 indorsement. I was researching amps the same way you are, and asked here at the group. I was leaning towards the KX1200, and wound up getting it. The first one I received was damaged in shipping, so I had to return it, and have another sent. For the money it can't be beat. I haven't gigged with it, but it has some punch and sounds good with any instrument plugged it. I haven't tried a mic though. My DTXxpress III sounds great, using that amp, and I haven't had it above 5 or 6.
I'm sure that the DTX will sound best when played through a high quality, (and I'm sure expensive ) PA system, but for practice, and maybe small gigs the KX1200 gets my vote.

As an addition, and a little off this subject. When I had asked about amps, I also asked bout Midi cables. I picked up the Yamaha one that they recommend, and it works flawlessly. I haven't transferred any kits yets from my computer, but I did find alot of MIDI songs that I practice with.

Hi

I want to buy an amp to use with my DTXpress that will be good enough
for playing live.

I will probably put some sound through the PA as well but want a
decent amp in front of the kit.

I know I need a keyboard amp and have been looking at the Roland KC
range and the Peavey KB range.

I see a few people on this group have purchased the Behringer KX1200 -
are these ok for live use or do I need to spend more money say on a
Roland KC-550 or Peavey KB-5.

Any help would be appreciated as I only want to get this right first
time.

It needs to sound good as I currently go through the PA which sounds
excellent but we are overloading it a bit.

Many thanks

Darrell
