Something like this. https://m.thomann.de/gb/hotone_loudster_portable_power_amp.htm?glp=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwm9D0BRCMARIsAIfvfIZ9az7iQDc7FTBiHPHwA-W2K5Qfspb2r-kUqPHZA3ewN7esmXnQELIaAvG8EALw_wcB
Is the Powercab any good at handling bass?
I play both bass and guitar through my Stomp. Currently using an Alto TS312 PA speaker for both, which works pretty well although a little bit 'boomy' on for guitar sometimes, but wonder if the Powercab might be better.
Same question I guess with the Laney LFR, anyone tried that with bass?

I get that the Headrush et al options are good, but surely 2000w isn’t remotely usable at home?!
Takes away that issue everyone has with FRFR's znd the amp in the room feeling.
Anyone taking this approach? What power amp pedal is considered the least coloured/most flat?
Barnezy said: I've got the SD170 powerstage which is very good but I've also had good results using the effects return of a Quilter 101 mini head.

It's certainly great at loud home volumes, but never gigged or rehearsed with bass with the LFR ,but my guess would be it would be every bit as cabable, if not better than the TS312 for bass.
Plastic PA speakers can be a bit boomy, just use the EQ to dial it out.
The knobs on it are tacky as hell though
I’m still leaning towards either the Laney LFR, or a power amp + guitar cab. I want that amp-in-the-room sound and fee that I’m used to, and it doesn’t seem like that’s doable via FRFR?
Normally I’d go and demo the LFR, Headrush, Powercab, DXR, etc, but in this climate that’s pretty much impossible!
I'd prefer to avoid monitors for now though as I had a good setup before and didn't like that approach. I can see why it works for many, just not for me!
For the cab i bought a 1x12 Montage from Lean Business, think it was about £120 (unloaded). I chucked an Eminence Governor in it and i'm very pleased with it, sounds great!
