Get 150 watts per channel in stereo, or 300 watts mono with the Velocity 300 power amp head! Its Reactance circuit replicates the sound of a tube amp.

Rocktron has been designing power amplifiers specifically for guitar players since the early 1990's. The Velocity 300 is the latest in their line of Velocity power amps. The Velocity 300 provides 150 watts/channel when used in stereo applications or 300 watts mono bridged into an 8 ohm load!

It has a unique "Reactance" circuit that actually replicates the output impedance of tube amplifiers--so you can get the same great sound that a tube amplifier delivers in a reliable solid state design, and because it is a variable control, you can customize your Velocity 300 to sound like any of your favorite tube amps. Best of all, this feature is available in the mono bridged mode too!

In addition, the Velocity 300 has "Definition" controls to give you that little bit of edge you need to bring your playing out in the mix. It also has automatic short circuit protection, which detects problems and shuts down the amplifier before any internal damage can be done.

Features:

- 150 Watt channel in stereo applications
- 300 Watts mono bridged into an 8 ohm load
- Reactance circuit that replicates output impedance of tube amps
- Definition controls
- Automatic short circuit protection

- Output Power (Unbridged): 150 watts per channel at 4 ohms (both channel driven), 75 watts per channel at 8 ohms (both channels driven), 37.5 watts per channel at 16ohms (both channels driven)
- Output Power (Bridged): 300 watts at 8 ohms, 170 watts at 16 ohms
- Input Sensitivity: -7.3dBu (0.335V RMS), 4W stereo for rated output at max. gain
- Maximum Input Level: 23dBu (10.95V RMS), input stage clip point
- Maximum Output Level: 35dBu (4W bridged)
- Maximum Gain: 36dB
- Noise Floor: -75dBu typical (referenced to 1 watt)
- Dynamic Range: 95dB
- Distortion (Typical): 0.1% THD
- Frequency Response: 20Hz - 20KHz, +0/-3dB
- Current Consumption: 5 amps @115VAC max. (575 watts)
- Selector Switch: 115/230 VAC voltage selector switch
- Dimensions: 19x 1 3/4 x 9 1/2", 483 x 44 x 241mm
- Weight: 18lbs, 7.80kg
- Power: An AC power detect circuit, which ensures that the amplifier outputs shut down first when AC is removed. This will guard against any thumps or pops that could otherwise occur, potentially damaging speakers when power is cut to the amplifier.
- Input Buffers: Differential input buffers to eliminate ground loop hum coming from the power amp.

This sounds awesome right out of the box. I am running an ADA MP-2 pre-amp into the Velocity 300 and coming out of it into a Crate 4 x 12 with 8 ohm stereo capability. I needed a smaller footprint in my rack....check....1 rack space! I turned the reactance, as well as the definition, all the way down counter clockwise....the reactance is a tube amp simulator and the definition is a way to cut through the mix in live band situations. After cranking this amp just a bit, I seriously doubt that anyone would ever have trouble hearing me! I look at it this way...I might not need them but at least they are there if I do. I never ran a tube power amp in my rig so now I can simulate it if I want. Bottom line is this....it takes my tone and delivers pure power to my cabinet, in a small footprint with sonic control all well built with a great warranty. Rack is back!
