I have a QSC gx5 poweramp currently in my rack, it came with my Axe Fx ii when I purchased the rack used. The gx5 has more than enough power, never goes past noon, but it is extremely heavy for constant transportation... Especially considering our cabs are generally used for stage sound only and at practice or super small venues where there isnt enough pa for anything but vocals... We don't mic the cabs because we go direct to foh using output 2 for audience tone when able.
As such, I've been looking for a lower priced poweramp preferable also in 1u form, but has to be stereo as we use 1 axe fx for 2 guitarist and cabs simultaneously.
The most interesting of course are the matrix, carvin dcm200l which is now discontinued and damn near impossible to find, and the ISP Stealth pro.
Unfortunately, I can't currently afford to shell out several hundred bucks right now, and don't want to sell or trade my QSC until I've got something I know for sure will work.
Therefore I stumbled across a Monoprice 605030 1u stereo poweramp that appears it may fit the bill as I found it direct from monoprice for $90 shipped. I probably should have asked first, but I pulled the trigger and ordered as it states there is a 30 day return policy if it doesn't work out... Does anyone have any experience with this poweramp, or any other thoughts? I'm hoping it will be loud enough to be heard at practice without pa, and be used for stage sound and monitoring live, while being taking A LOT of weight, about 30lbs, out of my rack.
Sorry I dont have enough posts yet to be able to link but I'll try below...
