Hi all,
I have an unpowered Kemper and during practice I go straight into the PA since we use InEars. I do have a Poweramp (ENGL 920 I believe, 2x35 Watt) which goes into a 4x12 Cab. Usually during Gigs I would also ask to go directly into the PA. However, there are venues that wish to stick to micing up the cab rather than having the direct-out from the Kemper. For this reason I still have the Engl in my rack. My back would appreciate it a lot though, if I had a poweramp that weighs less and does not have tubes.
I have considered to go the Camplifier route and have a power section built in. For EUR 179,- I can get the 25 Watt version which honestly is not far off the 35 Watt that currently power my 4x12. I'm just wondering if it's enough. The stage version would easy my worries, as it should have more than enough power, but it costs EUR 430,- at which point I feel I could get a used solid-state. But which one? I used to be better informed in this topic and still have some names like Matrix in my head.
Any suggestions or opinions?
