I have tried the Orange PB, SD 170 and the Fryette PS2 for powering a Line 6 Helix. The Orange is too dark and gives all models an Orange amp tone. The Fryette PS2 was very good and better then the Orange, but the best imo was the SD 170 for a Helix. The EQ controls on the 170 are VERY sensitive and adds a quick tweak when needed to any Helix model. Its sort of a powered EQ with great response. Thats the one I kept and use for a Helix.

Hi i know this is 3 years old but i need help, i have tonex pedal and I am looking for power amp. I tried Harley Benton GPA-100 (4 ohms 190w on papers), and it did not manage to overpower drummer in reharsle room. Do you think the 200w would? As you said it is loud but really? the difference in watts is only 10w (not sure if bentons is honest ). but the 700w is like overkill, I think that one is ment for bass players.

It would be awesome if when demoing these types of power amps that the wattage is based on the ohms of the cabinets used. For instance; the 170 watt power rating is had with a 4 Ohm load. It's probably right around 85 watts at 8 Ohms and right around 40 watts at 16 Ohms. You won't get the full 170 watts with a 16 Ohm cab.

Then read a review on that saying the same thing 🤣 then read another review on the 200 saying 16 ohm is plenty loud enough for a band. So I don't know wth is up. Guess I'll find out soon enough.

@@joshwalker8824 It got so close. Sounded amazing and the tone controls are a major plus. I see a few videos on YT with people insisting this small amp, and that small amp will keep up with a band. I guess these people are playing at very conservative volume levels because my experience was completely different and they will NOT keep up with a band. Unfortunately I had the same experience with the Powerstage 200. We play pretty loud but imo nothing outrageous. I only turn my amp up loud enough to blend with the drummer so I can hear things mixed evenly. And no mics or anything at practice. As soon as I got loud enough to hear good it started clipping. Tried tweaking a few things, t but couldn't get it to stop clipping so had the let it go . I think if I would have had my cabs wired at 4 ohm it would have been loud enough. But 8 ohms just didn't quite cut it, at least without clipping 😣

@@joshwalker8824 I was just looking at the 700 after I made that last comment. I don't know why but thought it was bigger so I passed on that due to wanting something loud but also as small as possible but have found nothing in that category that at least that works for me. But that 700 I'm sure would be perfect as far as volume. Judging how close the 200 got I have no doubts the 700 would be more than enough. These are super clean amps and sound great regardless of what volume you play at so I would definitely say heck yeah! You can turn these down to a whisper and they still sound fantastic! I would have went for the 700 but it would defeat the purpose that I'm trying to accomplish. Was hoping for a super small compact amp loud enough for a back up at a live gig in case my tube amp ever fails live. I have a backup tube amp but I ain't lugging two 100 watt Marshall tube amps around unless we're playing some serious gigs

I have used the Powerstage with just a guitar, no pedals at all, and gotten a really nice clean tone. Because the PS has it's own EQ section I can dial in a good tone and tweak it as I see fit. Putting other pedals or a modeler before it of course offers much more tonal options, but yeah if I'm looking for just a straight-forward clean tone, I can play straight into this no problem. And as for bass, I've used it for bass at both rehearsals and gigs before. The 700 works best in this context, but I've used the 200 as well for this and it does work. Hope this helps :)

Sounds better. Don't crank your amp channel master.

Oh my god!!! How can the powerstage 700 have 700W? Below the power plug there are 270W marked!!! Is this some sort of scam??? 270W in >>> 700W out >> Perpetuum mobile????
@davidfaustino4476 2 жыл бұрын
270w.. INPUT at 110v. The voltage measured on the speaker output on these is max like 35-40v as it relies more on current than voltage to produce wattage at the speaker. Do the math.. it scales perfectly.

Yo i'm a bass player using hx stomp, would these be good for me? Im planning to run through a 2x12" 4Ohms 1000 Watt cabinet darkglass Not sure which one of these power amp should i get..any help?
@nvmbrsdoom5 3 жыл бұрын
I've used both the 200 and the 700 for bass before. The 700 works best as I feel it offers the most headroom and power for bass tone but the 200 did work very well too. I've used the HX Stomp with it as well, however not for bass (I play guitar and bass regularly in various gigs) and the Stomp pairs up with it perfectly for me. Hope this helps, cheers!

Just a note to point out to those that might not know when watching this video.... If your cab is 8ohm you won't get the full 170 watts of power, only like 85 watts. If you have a 4ohm cab (which is not usually common with guitar cabs but more for bass cabs) then you will get the full 170 watts. It's silly that the 170 unit wasn't made optimally for an 8ohm cab, which is the most common of guitar cabs.

85watts through a 2x12 or 4x12 will be more then enough over 100db

The only reason to go for the 700 is the ability to run 1 channel with a cab sim to front of house and one channel without a cab sim to your stage cabs. If you don't run that exact scenario then you are better served with either the 170 or 200. Shame that one feature makes the 700 cost almost double that of the 170 because I have never once felt the need for the extra power even playing stages.

NO EFFECTS LOOP
@treyxaviermusic 7 ай бұрын
You don’t need an effects loop because an effects loop just puts the effects between the preamp and the power amp, which you can do by just putting the preamp before the effects you would put in the loop and then into the power amp
