    Great demo of the setups - always amazing what fits in these small form factors!

    Oh and I couldn't agree more about power supply. IEC cable or go home! Needing a specific wall wart is just pure horror for live shows...

    Would be cool if there was a 'flat response' toggle in there for wet dry use. I guess you didn't run any sweeps to see if there is a neutral enough setting of the knobs. :)

    On this comparison the PandorA sounds much nicer to my ear. Much weightier, more depth. Like what I would expect from a power amp and cab. Must try one of these with my HX Stomp rig

    Definitely more upper mids and highs in the EVH but it held up. Hard to tell from a video how it feels, but seems alright! I like how it is power agnostic. Probably you could take an old laptop charger and throw on a compatible plug to get a strong powersource (albeit it may be very noisy because I doubt they have good filtering!)

    • @danielringl8501

    • @lichtlaermaudio
      @lichtlaermaudio 4 дні тому +1

      In fact there is a shitload of filtering already in there - these laptop-PSUs have insane ground hum, tho. Filtering the voltage won’t change that.
      The Pandora even has a full wave rectifier built in that gets rid of the ripple and turns AC into DC voltage. But you know how it is with everything sh*t in, sh*t out. It can be done but there’s a reason why power conditioners are huge and expensive!

    I'd suggest to anyone who gigs, get a pedalboard power amp just to have in a bag as a backup and there's many other uses too..I was shocked just how loud the cheapie Harley Benton GPA-100 power amp is and it will run at 4 ohms.... for €79, they are worth trying. It's not powered by a pedalboard power supply but a standard amp lead. I end up using these small amps more at home than the big beasts just out of convenience

    I don't think the bright character of a tube amp works that well with effects normally, so I can see how having a solid state amp running effects into another cab could be good, since they normally can't hit the bright high frequences that tube amps can and this would be good for effects because effects in my opinion don't sound that good when there uber bright.
