Hey, new guy here - basically, im thinking of switching to a rack system for gigging. The axe fx is way outside my budget, so im thinking of going with a GSP1101 based on the premise that if its good enough for dave mustaine....
Thing is, its impossible to garuantee a decent, reliable PA to put it through at the venues i play, so i'll have to get a power amp to put it through my orange cab, which is a PPC212.
But herein lies the problem! The cab is 16 ohm and has a rating of 120 watts. Tube power amps tend to be outside my budget, and i am frankly struggling to find a 16 ohm SS one with a rating that low. And besides, i have a hunch that a SS amp rated at below 120W wont cut the mustard live so to speak.
So can anyone help me? Are there any amps out there to suit my cab? can i run an 8 ohm amp into my cab? Will something like a velocity 300 (rated at 300W) destroy my speakers?
If none appear suitable, would a powered cab be a better solution?
Sorry but i literally know nothing about this kind of thing![lol :lol: :lol:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/laugh.gif)
Thanks in advance
