What the differnece between a power amp, preamp and a bass head?? i dont know much about this stuff

 

[Augie]

A quick answer:
pre- shapes tone, usually with eq's can have comps or modelling as well. that's where warmth and fullness gets into the signal, but it doesn't get much louder
power amp-just makes it louder. makes the signal strong enough to drive speakers. ideally it doesn't colour the sound much (for bass any way IMHO)
Bass head- both in one box. the most common arrangement. pre stage allows you to shape the tone, power stage to make it a more powerfull signal to send to speakers.

PS I'll delete this if it derails the thread in the OPs opinion

Thanks Augie, no i didnt want to derail the thread either - just curious if i should look into buying one (or this one)

a basshead combines a power amp and a preamp into one unit.

Preamp creates the sound (eq)
Power amp amplifies the sound

Bas head = preamp + power amp

 

[zomnius]

a power amp needs a preamped signal to function
