I used one of these once with PA support liked it.

The question is do they have enough power to drive a decent cab to use without for small to medium pub gigs ?

200w in to an efficient cab would do me, but lots of people swear 500w is minimum these days.

I had one for a while, never used it with a band but did use it at home connected to a Barefaced Big Baby, imo that set up would have been ok-ish for stage use but nothing more.

It's funny how there are two camps which never usually acknowledge the existence of the other.

Not enough information. If punters can order drinks without leaning over the bar screaming, might be quite ok, night not.

Sounds like a maybe then lol

 

[Downunderwonder]

Yep. There are too many definitions of reasonable volume for a pub.

 

Ime 200w works fine. I still don't know what kind of band ypurs is or if they are the kind that crank stuff.

 

What cabinet? You put 200w through a 810 and you're going to need to turn well down for most pubs around here.

 

I never heard anyone not call their drummer a rowdy bastard. A little bit rowdy or a lot rowdy?

Rock Covers two band a trio and a five piece 2 guitars loudish drummer but not animal 

Cab to be determined just looking at the option of a power amp on the pedalboard are there any others

FWIW I play in a stupidly loud pub rock band and have happily used an Elf and Barefaced Super Twin at a couple of gigs, no PA support, and I’ve kept up with a heavy drummer and two loud guitars who don’t know the meaning of volume controls or indeed EQ (as in they have way too much of my sonic space in their tones too).

 

I am having a discussion with them all next week about being more sensible going forwards, we’ll see how it goes 😆

Good luck with that. I imagine that at least one of them will channel their inner diva.
