Re: Thinking of running my Line 6 Podxt thru a power amp.
Clint, don't underestimate a true 18w amp. If you were to play a 100w amp through the same speaker and cab, it would only be about 7db +/- louder. Now pushing more air via more speakers is a different thing. I run my PODxt into 2 Atomics and I don't need to turn the output level past 3-4. Plenty loud on stage. Especially with 2 of em.
When I use my Vetta II HD into my GenzBenz 2x12 GFlex, I rarely have to push it past 3. Besides using either I feed the Direct Outs to the PA. The amp is my monitor. On teh Atomic, take the effect sends and those are the same as feeding yoru POD right to the PA. End of story.
I know that the guitarist from Joan Jett's band uses 2 of them also. They are playing outdoor shows at fairs and such and he has absolutely no problem hearing himself. Matter of fact many touring bands have very small setups that are mic'd and those are fed to the board to the FOH monitors. Many times what you see on stage is just for show.
