affects the sound of your instrument and decreases your options to dial in a good sound. Avoiding having your instrument directly in the ‘line of fire’ of the amp’s output will always make toning and feedback control much easier.

Page 22: Discussion About Amps & Class D From The Design Team
DISCUSSION ABOUT AMPS & CLASS D FROM THE DESIGN TEAM QUESTION What makes this new amplifier so small and light weight? ANSWER This amplifier uses new technology, both an SMPS (SwitchMode Power Supply) and a CLASS D power amplifier to decrease the size and weight. These designs are carefully implemented and fully tested to insure robust, reliable performance in real world conditions night after night QUESTION How can a light weight amplifier deliver solid bass? I was always told that an amplifier has to be heavy to produce... - Page 23 QUESTION Why is the Class D power amplifier so small and light weight? ANSWER A Class D amplifier operates its output stage non-linearly, meaning that the output devices are switched either fully on or fully off at a switching frequency of about 500kHz. This “cutoff-saturation” switching minimizes waste heat by avoid- ing operation in the wasteful “linear range”, and without the heat, there’s no need for the large, heavy aluminum heatsinks.
