Rack Mount Power Amp For Sarno Revelation

Post by Ron Forrest »

HI,

I have a Sarno Revelation preamp that I've been using with a Matrix GT1000FX-2U and it sounds decent but just not really happy with it. It was originally used in an Fractal Axe-EFX rig and sounded great since its designed to be more of a flat response amp for modelers.

What recommendations does everyone have for a 1U-2U rack mounted power amp to pair with the Sarno Revelation?

Thanks

Ron

Ron, I used the Crown 1002 with my Revelation when I had it... think Brad even recommended it to me. I thought it was a great fit and GOBS of Power. Sorry for this LONG Link.

Dale,

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll take a look around and see if I can track one of these down.

Thanks

Ron, mine is connected to a Stewart power amp and a Lexicon MPX-1. Hard to beat that combination. I believe John Hughey used that same setup. His sound with 2 Evans cabinets was unbelievable.

Stewart or Hafler P1500 if you want solid state.
Peavey Classic Series works well if you want tubes.
Carvin makes a tube power amp, but I've never used one.
