Thanks Jared you rock, I just bought this amp/ pedal for my pedalboard.
Hi I'm new here. Can you literally plug straight into the powerstage and run that to a 4x12 and play an un-mic'd show? Of course with a couple pedals but just keeping it simple for question sake
@@comebackcruz yes pedals/pedalboard mono output straight into powerstage - out to cabinets
@carloswhomusic wow holy crap thank you. My 120 watt tube head crapped out on me during a gig recently and this would've came in handy. Is it loud enough to play un-mic'ed metal/punk shows through a single cabinet in your opinion?
I just bought one. Worth every penny. Has to be the best power amp. For only 170 it has so much tone and plenty of volume! (Axe fx2 user)
Jared's playing in this is pretty entertaining by itself,add some Seymour Duncan goodness and it rocks properly. Now I'm gonna have to save up for a Palladium and that power amp pedal.
this guy sounds amazing
Was the signal chain just Palladium and the PowerStage 170? And should all the tone and etc, stay the same throughout the volume range (min to max)? Also Jared's playing....WOW! So much feel!
With the Palladium and PowerStage 170, you can get AMAZING high gain tones a low volumes, which is great for practicing and rehearsing. More importantly, it has enough power to fuel your rig at any size venue, and sounds AWESOME at high volumes. The icing on the cake is that, as Jared mentions, when you roll the volume off on your guitar, Palladium and PowerStage clean up just like a classic tube amp!
That's some heavy blues😨
Great sounding band. What's the Bass player using for a head? Seymour got a bass version coming any time soon?
Its just a power head, can be used for bass or guitar
Creative Woodworking : Beyond the Basics I wondered too what bass player was using. Looks like a Quilter amp.
I just got mine. I use my effects unit and 2x12 cabinet. Simple and pretty loud. And sounds pretty damn good.
Seymour Duncan is quality. Cheers
What a badass video...wish he would have incorporated a little reverb somewhere in there but holy hell. Innovative creation and hell of guitar player!!!
...it would be perfect if it had an internal reactive load, so we could connect the speaker out of a tube amp!
I would like to hear how it sounds with just a clean boost pushing the input until it overdrives......
What could be the reason why it doesn't work with some cabinets?? no problem with my cab at home but it didn't work with loudspeaker input of some amplifiers i used at reharsals. It happened 3 times out of 4 and I mean no sound at all! What could be the issue? :-(
POWER: 170 W at 4 Ohms
I wanna know how he gets that tone, what pedals is he using in front of the Seymour Duncan?
At first I thought this was a parody band, with the whole overdoing-it thing. But after reading some of the comments... Ooops. I guess I'm not familiar with the blues-rock band scene right now. I do like the PowerStage 170.
Its a cool little Amp.
Compared to a 100-watt valve amplifier is there a lot of difference in volume?
Volume won’t be a problem. The SD is class D so in the worst case situation you’d be only producing 42 watts out but the reality is to get twice as loud you’d need a 420watt amp!!! The 170 will produce well over 110 db out of a 2x12 cab and if you’re that loud you’ll be told to turn it down by either by the sound guy or the police.
I would buy it immediately if it would have the xlr out with the cab sim to record with the same tone at home straight into the DAW, but I guess there's not enough space in the housing?!
Actually, recording was not its designed purpose. It is supposed to be a pedalboard-friendly power amp and that is it. Many use it with a modeler, which would have XLR outs and cab sims already, so we didn't want to duplicate that.
Please make a demo with a modeler. My preference is a Helix, but Kemper and Fractal AX8 are fine too. And maybe try to vary the styles a bit. As good as this guy is, I was listening for a little more variety and didn't hear it. Wouldn't mind if it was in a typical live venue either, maybe a small stage, roadhouse, that kind of thing. Also, was listening for that bottom, cab-resonant "thump" on the lower strings and didn't hear it. Could be the style, or it could be the 170 doesn't have the transient headroom to deliver. (I'm assuming it does.)
We are constantly making new videos, so check back soon.
It would be great if it had a stereo output!
any idea on how the power stage 170 manages amp modellers or profilers (like Kemper, Axe-Fx or Helix)?
We used an Axe-FX and a Palladium Gain Stage pedal at NAMM and it sounded glorious. The Power Stage 170 is designed for use with modelers or preamps.
thanks! I'll be sure to go and check it out in person once a Mexican distributor brings them to a store over here!
I use the PowerStage 170 and 700 with my Helix Rack and its awesome. I never have to worry about global EQ or my modeling settings, just tweak the EQ and I'm ready to rock.
Thanks Max! that's why I'm looking for a power amp with EQ! really looking forward to try one out.
Lovely clean drive my friend ! I sport an old Seymour Duncan Bi Amp 8000 - with an old heavy MESA BOOGIE cab with two monster 18" Electro Voice units - for my Bass´N Deep Mini Moog sounds - it goes without saying , im a bassplayer - a bankerot progrock bass´N Chapman Stick player,- and i L-L-LOVE the phat sound this old beatup bass amp delivers - again, and again, and .. well -i ts virtual indestructable "Evil Heavy" like a NAZI TANK -, but i wouldnt have it any other way ! ;-) -and if i could find that exact combo, used . id cough up the doe , there and then, ANYDAY ! :D
Great demo! What is that guitar? I love it!
Looks sort of like a one pickup Les Paul Custom (that has been played a lot).
Yeah, I looked it up
can I plug my fx return of my tube amp into this with good results?
You can plug your send into this (use it as your power amp). DO NOT plug it into the return.
Seymour Duncan thanks, I meant to say send haha
Nice pans bro.
is he running the 170 through his amplifier?
He is playing through just a speaker cabinet.
212 cab or 210? Stock Blackstar speakers? Closed back cab?
Plot twist, it IS the amplifier
works with 8 and 16 ohms?
Yes but they they won't give you as much power as 4 ohms
Got it running on a 2x12 with vintage 30s at 8 ohm. Need to turn it up slightly above 12 oclock and it sounds great against our pretty loud drummer.
Effects loop..? XLR out..?
No effects loop. Pedals would go before the pedal, just like in a traditional amp: the effects loop goes before the power amp. No XLR out, since it is not a direct-to-PA device...it gets plugged into a guitar cab or a full range speaker (for a modeler). The majority of inputs for these cabs are 1/4" jacks.
The PowerStage 700 has line outs and cab sim.
How many flavors of cab simulator in the 170 for FRFR (full range) speakers? Have to assume it does not load impulse responses. Would it work well with IR's in the modeler?
It doesn't load IRs or have cab sims of any kind. It is designed to use the cab sims in your modeler, or provide clean power into your own guitar cab.
D Snave just make sure to put your delay and modulation after any distortion units for best sound
Great video like all the rest :D
However I have to say as someone working in sound my self;
PLEASE make an effort to pay someone to properly record dialogue or simply execute the dialogue recording with your own.. But aim for audio with as close to perfection as possible...
It would be adding production value to the videos, Which I think is worth it seeing as your products are awesome and I love the company.
Heck you can even give it to me and I can correct & edit the dialogue to sound perfect using Izotope Rx6.
I'll start pitching to companies like Seymour Duncan and others that I notice haven't enough effort into the Dialogue.
I could even tell you the microphone on Jared is a Sennheiser ME 2 maybe connected to a G3 EW100.
I know some people don't care, But I think it should matter for many reasons...
Anyways
LOVE the company :)
Would love to work with you at some point.
Cheers

You sound desperate
can this go direct into a PA?
Christopher Mafnas you don't need a power amp to go to a PA, instead you'll need a preamp with a cab simulation.
Jone Gomez so if I don't have access to a cab, I can't plug this into the board?
Christopher Mafnas Power amp main porpoise is to feed a cab, not sure if has line out with cab simulation, but if does it will be be pointless to only use that feature, you can get cab simulation pedals is that what you want/need.
I was just looking at the SD website, it appears the PowerStage 700 has the XLR outs and cab sim's, which will allow you to got to front of house. But I'm new at this, so maybe SD will chime in here with their expertise! : )
Brian M thanks. I think that's more what I'm looking for
Great vid amazing player …and no pick Wtf …very cool
Dude needs some new Seymour Pants!!!
you look like the guy from workahollics
He forgot to mention is a paid Seymour Duncan endorsee
1:13 Watch the body language. His eyes don't agree with his mouth.
The Amp1 still does it better...
I wish, but it depends on the genre. I got a myself an Atomic Amplifire for more flexability in a metal band and plugged it into the return of the Amp1. I wasnt able to get a good sound from it at all. The Amp1 started breaking up way early and mudding my whole sound into a fizzy mess.
This week I got the Powerstage to see if it sounds better and its like night and day. My patches finally sound like the way i programmed them at home.
Edit: Ill still be using the Amp1 for my punk band though.
TwohornedPuppet yeah, I don't think metal is the amp1s strong point :/
$800 vs $375
Eric sin 4 channels, reverb, nanotube, midi Etc Etc...
I can’t tell if this guy is old trying to act cool, or cool trying to act old. Over it
