Really, any of the Seymour Duncan Powerstage series power amps will get the job done for the majority of any guitarist’s needs, but hopefully this guide will help you to decide which of the three fits your needs and budget the best so you can get your tones to the masses. It’ll be absolute overkill for the average bedroom guitarist or weekend warrior playing small venues – for those kinds of guitarists, either of the smaller ones will be more than enough.
If you’re a touring professional with a rack rig playing various different kinds of venues and a variety of volume level needs, the 700 will be your go-to for never having to wonder if you’ll have enough volume and headroom on any size stage. If it’s flexibility and features you’re after, the 200 is gonna be your best bet, and for only $100 more than the 170, in my book it’s the best buy. If that is your worry, then worry not – plug into your cab and plug in your earplugs. Having tested each of these, I can tell you straight up that any of these is loud enough to compete with your drummer, for sure. Good for rack systems, can be power for 2 guitar players or a stereo rig.Largest of the 3 by a lot, but more than 3x the power of either per side.Rack-mountable, slightly larger than 2U.Same features as 170 except for dual inputs, dual combo Speakon/1/4″ outputs, and dual balanced XLR outs with switchable Cab Sim option per side.Switch to turn EQ on or off for the XLR and headphone outs.Balanced XLR out and headphone out with switchable Cab Sim.Slightly larger than the 170, still pedalboard friendly.Volume/Bass/Mid/Treble controls like the 170, but adds Presence and Headphone Volume knobs.Least powerful, but still incredibly loud.Smallest of the 3, easily fits on most pedalboards.They’re clean, and flat, and powerful, and have a ton of headroom so you’re not getting a clipped or distorted version of your tone at the volume you want.īut what’s the difference between them? Which one should you get for your rig? Let’s compare. They’re designed to take whatever type of processor/preamp you’re feeding them and amplify it through your cab – exactly as it sounds going in. They come in 3 different varieties – the 170, the 200, and the 700. Enter the Seymour Duncan Powerstage power amps. Therefore, proceed at your own risk.You’ve got your AxeFx/Kemper/Mooer/Atomic/Line 6 modeler, you’ve got a guitar speaker cab – now you need something to make it louder. Small enough to fit right on your pedalboard, the PowerStage 170 still pumps out an astounding 170 watts â more than enough to power any combination of guitar cabinets.
