Hey all, I'm a little back and forth on where to go and have been reading but am completely new to this thing and confused. I know this has been covered a bunch, I've searched around, but the Waza Expander is what's not clear to me. If I missed it, I'm sorry, I did try to look though.
I have a Waza Expander and saw that someone on here uses one as their power amp, which is good to hear. I don't recall it being considered very powerful though so how limited will I be to try and push two 16ohm cabs with it? One cab? Is it crazy to think it'll get even one loud enough to comfortably play with a loud metal drummer? I use it constantly and would like to continue to be able to with the Axe if I can. It makes a fine load box doesn't it?
Would a guitar head be a better choice? Or am I best off by buying a power amp? I like the idea of being able to do stereo but it's not crucial or anything. I was going to grab the Duncan Powerstage 170 but realized that it won't do stereo and I wonder how it'd push a 16ohm cab. I'm stuck in my cab ways for now but I plan on trying the Friedman ASM or something similar after I try this stuff first.
How many watts should I look for to push 2 16ohm cabs at say 100 watts each, if I were to get a power amp? 1000 SS watts in the ballpark?
Thanks all!
