I just won a Rocktron Velocity 100 Power
amp on eBay yesterday...so when it gets here and I work a gig with it..I'll let
you know.. I am running a GSP 2101 Artist through a Mesa Boogie 2x12 Cab. I has
a Mesa Boogie 50/50...Sounded great, but it weighed a ton.
I'll tell you what I did, I sold it and
bought a Mesa Boogie 20/20. What a little Monster !! I mike my cab through the
PA and play Medium to Large venues that hold over 500 people and I still only
crank it half way !! I bought the Rocktron as a back up. This little
Boogie rocks !!
But I researched the Rocktrons. The
NEW Velocity 100's get great reviews. The 120's not so good. Over heating
problems that shut the amps down. So stay with the Velocity 100. The new ones
have plenty of venting and a fan to keep things cool. I'd keep a few extra fuses
too..just to be careful. But If I were you dude..I'd get a Mesa 20/20. Runs on 4
EL84's and 3 12ax7s....Built like tank...Never fails ,One rack Space and kicks
ass. Tony

I am looking into downsizing my rack and guitar rig, the main thing is to get a smaller and lighter power amp for my 2101. right now I am using a Mesa simulclass 2:90. I am considering a Rocktron Velocity 100, and just wondering if anyone has any experience using this and how it sounds with the 2101 or any other one-space power amps that are reasonably priced.
Thanks,
-Paul
