Brunetti Rockit Power Amp

i bought it brand new around 700 euros. i wanted a 1U power amp what's not too heavy. i found it. but...

...i have a mesa 50/50 and that sounds better. of course there are many tubes and the rockit has only two.
compared to the full tube mesa monster the rockit sounds a little bit dry and weak and not so loud. of course, mr. marco brunetti wrote me that i wont have problems with the volume. i have, hehe!

there are spectral response knobs on both channel. it's something like presence but it works in a stupid way. the maximum presence is around 6. when you turn the knob towards to ten you decrease the presence... weird.

there is some problem with the shielding because when i touch the chassis it pops... i hope i won't get an electric shock.
it still works, so there are no problems with it.

they always answered to my mails. yeah, because they wanted to sell the amp, hehe!

if you need real power, buy a mesa.
i you don't want to break your back because of the weight buy this one.
but it's okay, but there are better poweramps.

i'll never buy it again.

It's a one slot rack power amp. 2 channels, with 2x (one spectral response & one volume knob). It's solid state so if you play in stereo, you'll lose some power. 120w in mono (16 ohms), 2x60(8 ohms) and 2x40w(16 ohms). There is not a lot of features and this unit is very useful, thanks to its 4,5k weight! I racked it in a gig bag and i'm able to take the bus with my guitar and a 1x12 speaker.
I put 8 because there is no mono 8 ohm output.

No noise, the unit is very precise and you can have a crystal clear sound of your pre amp or a very hot sound. The volume knob is very linear. The dynamic is very good, better than a mesa 20/20 which is quite muddy. I have a VHT fat bottom speaker behind and it suits rock and metal very well. I'm not really sure it will fit extreme music which needs very agressive tubes (kt88 etc...)

No problem. There are 2 fans which keep the unit cool.

no problem

I play modern rock. I had combos until it was impossible to travel with my gear. I had valvestate PA, tried mesa & marshall and this unit sounds better. Moreover it doesn't need bias setting. I haven't changed the 2 tubes yet in 1 year. In fact they are supposed to color the sound and should last a long time!
If you need a practise PA, this is the one, cheap, sound great for its price and is pretty more reliable in theory than the others.

The only problems are the low power in 'stereo'(it's impossible to use it on scene, you can however repeat with your band) and the lack of outputs (no 8ohms in mono, no 4 ohms).
I think it's the perfect PA for an active musician who travels a lot or has just started a rack system(with a pod xt pro for example). In mono on scene and in stereo at home, the brunetti follows me everywhere.

This 1 rack pwr amp will serve you well, independently your playing style! 2x60 watts (check the relation between watts & ohms) is enough power for studio and live conditions. It has HEX-FET technology,(2 12ax7 & solid state TOGETHER!).It can also play 120 watts, like a ...head, mono.All these features only in 5kgr.I like it's sound,i take valve tones with solid ... taste!

I play the ROCKIT with a fender usa stratocaster loaded with a DiMarzio FASTRACK, driven by a Marshall JMP-1. I play rock,reggae,blues,jazz,funky and many more styles.NO NOISE PROBLEMS WITH ROCKIT!!! Of course you can check out it's Spectral Response(presense).The best power level is "6" for both channels : lots of headroom!

No problems! I use this pwr amp for the last 1 year.As time passes i think it...sounds better!

ROCKIT has got warranty.No need to use it!

ROCKIT is an "easy to carry" 1rack power amp.It's got many watts to play really loud and it does! I believe it's good for all playing styles.I feel lucky i bought it.I compare it with many valve pwr amps i've played:marshall 9100,EAT MY DUST!!! Mesa 2:90 , just diferent. Egnater 2x80,does it worth so much kgrs to carry???
