Hi all!
I'm still learning to use the Axe FX the way it can be used in all the ways at home and out and have been trying different things to power it since I got it. I play through cabs, I haven't yet gotten used to a FRFR setup and may never desire that for my personal home sound anyway. I've played it through a Boss Waza Tube Expander, multiple random tube amps, as well as straight to a Headrush 112. To me, it sounds best through an FX loop but I didn't dislike it in any way through the Waza, still sounds great.
I also realized recently that I don't have a smallish amp to go to random jams with. I thought about grabbing a Powerstage 700 and sticking it in a rack together with the Axe, which could be small, fairly light and easy to move around. I also considered the PRS MT15 lunchbox amp. I love the Waza TAE but it's pretty large to use as a SS amp (the PS700 is 6lbs versus the 15 and a bit smaller in size) and does a lot of stuff that might not be necessary for my mobile purpose. It's no more heavy than a PRS MT15, true, but that is also a standalone, versatile amp and has 2 6l6's.
I'd love some opinions if some of you would be so kind. The Powerstage 700 (I do like stereo capability) and MT15 are similar in price, used and new alike. Anyone used a MT15 as their poweramp and was it loud enough for a loud metal band?
Going to grab one tonight and can't decide!
Thanks! Sorry again for another PA question.
