Unless you're gonna get another cab, no. You can't run one poweramp into another.

you cant?

i thought you could.

what about those dudes that have racks of power amps n shit

the input wayyyyyyyy over on the right is a 1/4" jack that actually says POWER AMP IN

One per cab setup, dude.

Poweramps take a line level output from a preamp. Try plugging a poweramp out into the input of another poweramp and you're looking at Blown Transformer City. And I'm not talking bout Optimum Prime's fave massage parlour.

"Power amp in" generally means this is where you plug INTO the poweramp, not where you plug poweramps.

And I only see a "SPEAKER OUTPUT" on those Ebay pix.

Yeah, input TO the poweramp, not FOR poweramps.

so if its got power amp in, i can plug the guitar into the power amp and then the power amp into the PA ?

or am i still fucked?

you can take a preamp out from another amp, so's you can get it's sweet tones, and then plug it into the power amp in on your amp, for the ball shaking loudness.

...it does only have speaker outs....

hmmmm

why would Tosh make a PA with a power amp in, and not have thier power amp not have a power amp out ? other than to speakers....

Your PA head is a combined preamp and poweramp (like guitar amps).

The "power amp input" on the head is for a direct line to the power section, bypassing all the head's EQ shit, should you wanna use a mixing desk or whatever.

The thing on Ebay is just a seperate poweramp- to use it, you'd need to run an output from the preamp section of your PA head to the input of that unit, and connect it to a cab.

Don't do it Rob, y'dont need it, I can't believe you even use a full 250w RMS in an apartment anyway as it is..

just to humor me?

if i run the PA out into the power amp, which one of these outs would i use?

i really want this thing! hahah
even for 25 bucks, just for looks.

25 dollars x fake cool looking amp balls

Post by **Doog** » Mon Feb 12, 2007 1:41 am

Main Buss sounds like the preamp out, the thing you'd connect to a poweramp.

Just realise your PA head already has it's own poweramp that is more powerful than that unit on Ebay. The only way you could use it with your PA setup would be to run the PA head into ONE cab (presuming the speaker can handle the wattage and ohm load on it's own), then run a line from the MAIN BUSS to the Ebay poweramp, and connect that up to the other speaker (again, checking it can handle the poweramp's specs).

You could use your V-Amp thing (acting as a preamp) to plug straight into the Ebay poweramp, but it'd still need it's own speaker cab.

And then if you ran it that way, you'd no longer have the 2 speakers coming from the PA head, so your tunes you're running through it wouldn't be in stereo.

Give it up, brah! You don't need 400w+ for an apartment.
