Hi all! Apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere but after some searching I couldn’t find much on my particular question.
I’m interesting in switching to a hybrid setup for live shows, as in direct to FOH + solid state PA and cab. I’ll likely be grabbing a Powerstage 700.
I know typically you turn power amp modeling OFF in the amp block when running through a power amp. However, since I’d be also running through FOH I’d like to leave it on so the house is getting the fully modeled signal.
I’ve seen a few people suggest running an entire copy of the signal chain, including a copy of the amp block, to whatever output is going to the poweramp and just turn off the PA modeling in that amp block. That all makes perfect sense, but the problem I’m having is that I already use both amp blocks in my setup to achieve gapless switching.
Any suggestions here? Should I just leave the PA modeling on since the Powerstage is a flat, solid state power amp anyway? I’ve heard this all matters much more if you’re going into a tube amp and that leaving the modeling on while using a SS power amp isn’t a big deal.
Thanks in advance!
