Yorkville 100KW Combo

This is a two channel keyboard amp in a wedge shape, like a stage monitor. Channel one has balanced 1/4" and XLR inputs (no phantom power); channel two has two mixing balanced 1/4" inputs and two RCA inputs. There's an effects loop, bass and treble knobs, headphone outlet and that's about it. The units can be daisy-chained in use as powered monitors. Two speakers: 12" and 1". It's designed as a keyboard amp or powered monitor and has, I think, just the right set of features for either. It could have phantom power and a mid knob and, I suppose it could be stereo, but then it would be a different amp, wouldn't it?

Sounds great. Ballsy, clean, and balanced, which is what you want for a keyboard. The bass rolls off somewhat in the bottom octave of the keyboard because of the 12" speaker. Very quiet (my keyboard's noise masks anything the amp puts out). No real variety of sounds, but it works as an accurate voice for the keyboard and would probably be pretty nice for an acoustic guitar, too. It's plenty loud for my environment (jamming with the boys) at 5. If I needed more than it could put out, I'd either run a feed to the PA or get a second one of these so that I'd have stereo. It's possible to distort the input and that's pretty nasty, but that hasn't been an insoluble problem for me.

I bought this second-hand from a sound company. They hadn't had any troubles so far and neither have I.

Haven't needed them. They have a good rep, but I'll make this no opinion anyway.

I've been playing about 45 years. If it were stolen or lost I'd certainly get another unless I had about three times the money for a Traynor K4.
