2wheeler Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I hope someone can put me right on this. I have a Line6 Studio Pro110 which is very dinky, has some great sounds and is surprisingly loud for such a small package. But it's not THAT loud. The instruction manual talks about taking a line out after the pre-amp to a PA for gigs but I want to know if there's a sensible way to get a bit more welly without a PA. Ideally something fairly simple and cost effective. I want something with plenty of bass but it doesn't need to be sophisticated. There seem to be things called powered cabinets. Is that what I need? Or can I take the post pre-amp signal to another, bigger combo? Or do I need a separate power amp? Many thanks in advance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoo Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 (edited) I'm no expert by any means but the powered cabs I've seen have just been the PA equivalent of a combo - where the amp (and sometimes the mixer too) is built into the speaker cabinet. Essentially what you'll need is another power amp and a larger speaker cabinet. If you want a one-box solution, then you could do this with either a powered cab, or a larger bass combo (with a power amp in, or effects return in, or similar).... but then with a larger bass combo you would have the ability to run without the 110 - whereas the powered cab would most likely need to run off either the preamp out of your 110, or a separate DI box of some description. As to what would be best for your needs, then I guess that would depend on what sort of volume levels you need, what sort of music you play, and what sort of budget you're looking at.....
