to amp or not to?

[sxni]

Hi guys, I'm without any amp at home, and I have just gotten a sansamp tri-ac. Should I get an amp or am I able to plug the tri-ac direct to cab?

 

[Indigo_blues]

your tri-ac will explode if you do that. :lol:

kidding. but you definitely need a power amp if you are thinking of driving speakers. The tri-ac not enough 'juice' to drive speakers..

cheers

u need an amp

 

[subversion]

TRIAC + Cab = no sound...

 

[sxni]

What about tri-ac > DI > cab?

 

[Ratboy]

your tri-ac PROBABLY can drive headphones

 

[sxni]

What about going tri-ac straight to fx-loop, what will that give me?

 

[Colarndo]

Your cab came with a power amp head?

 

[sxni]

No I don't.
What are the good choices for an amp(preferably tube), low wattage, 2 channels with fx loop?

 

[markedymark]

low wattage heads, hmmm. why not a crate powerblock? its not tube, but its got the punch.

if not, i've seen some heads going in the buy/sell

 

[Indigo_blues]

tri-ac should go into a clean poweramp that doesn't color the sound.

Try plugging it into your hi-fi if you have one. Just beware the volume.

Amps are the way to go for guitars. Speakers can't produce good sounds that amps gives. They are not built for guitars.

When in a jamming studio, can I tri-ac>DI>mixer>PA and share speakers with the mic-up?

Sorry for all the questions, thanks for all the advices
