Re: cheap amp?

2003-04-07 by liberatusvirus

The problem with cheap is that its...ah, cheap, and cheap is 
relative. What you don't want to sacrifice are enough high frequency 
response to make the cymbals sound real, and different, and enough 
low frequency response to do justice to the toms and kick. The DTX 
sounds really good well amplified (which doesn't necessarily mean 
deafness-inducing loud; the louder/softer an amp can play and still 
sound good, the better it is). Run a search of the archives 
under "amplifier" or "amplification" to get other members' ideas and 
find your price range. A keyboard amp is often the way to go, if 
you're not buying a dedicated system from Roland, JBL, Mackie, etc. 
If what attracts you seems too expensive, take a look at ebay.
