Non - Powered Rack - Best Amp and Connection??

  • Hi folks, well after selling my powered rack last year (sorry went back to my trusty EVH5150iii which I still have)... I couldn't quite get rid of the itch!!! So have just bought a non powered rack...why, well just wanted to try a different set up with a separate power amp bit more of a simpler approach??


    What do you guys recommend? Valves... (Mesa 20/20) or solid state (Palmer Macht 402 or Rocktron Velocity 300) Be interested on any thoughts/impressions you may have or what you non powered folks have used/are using.


    Also would you come straight out of the left/right main outputs or take a feed from the monitor output into the power amp?


    Thanks all....good to be back, hopefully for a little longer this time as I'll be keeping this to tweak and play with...the EVH very simple, but good!


    Cheers
