Beta with Poweramp
« on: December 08, 2005, 01:38:48 am »
Hi,

I have a beta lead. Can i hook this up to a poweramp(fender/sunn spl6000) to create a more high powered Beta? Offcourse used with a high wattage cab. I would need to hook up a a cabinet to the beta also right? Anyway i can prevent this?

I love the Beta sound, but i need more volume etc. So i can use it for bass in a live situation for instance.

Hello:
 Piece of cake, plug a cord into the master out or pre out of the channel you prefer and plug into the power amp input. Eliminate any ground loops and rock on.
It's the ear not the gear.

Thanks. So if i understand correctly i don't have to attach a cab to the Beta, only to the poweramp?

I only have experience with tube amps :)

Hello,
I've bought last year a Sunn Beta Lead amp  and a Sunn Beta Power but the Beta Power does not seem to work...
Please could you help me to find  schematics for the Beta Power please?
Best regards.

HM; No, you have to have speakers plugged into the speaker output of the Beta, the refrence was to using the Master or Preamp output to drive the second amp. The only way to prevent this is to remove power to the output section of the Beta....or I suppose you could run it at high volume without speakers and when it blows you'll be all set.
