Kevin Dean Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 As I have 4 bass heads & no PA mixer amp back up , I've thought about getting small mixer & use a bass head with eq off as a power amp as a back up , as long as Input gain is set I can't see any problem or is there ?

casapete Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I've used the 'power amp in' of a bass amp before in similar circumstances with no problem. As I remember, the amp's controls were bypassed, the power amp being full on with the overall output being controlled from the mixer. Only got a mono feed though in my case, so the mono / stereo thing needs to be taken into account for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 You could bypass the EQ by using an effects return for the mixer input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obbm Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I used to use my back-up amp, a GK MB200, to power the floor monitors. It worked a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
