I've been reading so many comments about people using and loving different power amps...I was just hoping to make a thread dedicated to this topic...Please list your power amp, why you use it, and how much you paid (if you are comfortable doing so) for it...
I'll start:
For the RoD I use the standard issue Randall RT2/50 loaded with Svetlana Winged C EL34s and TAD 6L6STRs...I also have some EH 6CA7s that I use occasionally paired with Tung Sol 6550s...Although that config is rare...
I use it because I like the MIDI switching capability of the amp and find it very useful in the studio...I think it sounds great and have never had any issues with it...And I bought it used for about 625 USD I think...I would consider buying another and keeping a different power tube config available quickly when inspiration strikes...It's kinda lame to stop playing, let things cool down, replace the power tubes, rebias, etc...At some point I plan on a second power amp and the RT2/50 is my front-runner now...But I'm open to suggestions...
Thanks!
