So, I couldn't help but notice that PA speakers are fairly cheap compared to amps. I can get two nice, big, decent-quality PA speakers for a fairly good price (and I'm trying to learn vocals, so a PA would help there, too.)
I'm just curious, the PodXT has a special setting for PA, and it's supposed to sound really nice through a PA. Is a PA a viable alternative to buying a guitar amp? Is it a good idea, if I plan on using my PodXT, to just buy a really nice PA to amplify it for concerts? |
You will be missing the tactile response of a tube amp on full throttle, as it interacts with the the guitar and pickups. This is the phenomenon known as touch. You can generate a cool but unvarying tone from your modelers, but tube tone touch is a tool that has only one source. [/rant]
