Seymour Duncan PowerStage 200

Seymour Duncan PowerStage 200 is a pedalboard-mounted power amp that delivers clean, musical volume for players who rely on modelers or stompboxes, with gig-friendly features that will also pay dividends in the studio and rehearsal space.

Pumping out 200 watts in a compact, slick-looking enclosure, the PowerStage 200 goes way beyond simply taking your tone and making it louder. A carefully voiced 4-band EQ lets you dial in your sound for any room or any cab. The DI output features switchable speaker simulation, so you can send a consistent tone to the front of house night after night, with no need to mic your cabinet.

Backline and flyout gigs are a breeze with the PowerStage 200. Show up, run a cable to you cab, and you’re good to go. And when you bypass your distortion and overdrive pedals, the PS 200’s full, warm sound will serve as your clean tone. You can even adjust the big master volume knob with your foot, boosting your solos in real time.

The benefits of the PowerStage 200 extend into the studio and the rehearsal room, as well. The speaker simulation makes it possible to record your pedalboard straight into your DAW. The Aux In jack allows you to jam along with drum grooves and backing tracks while practicing, which is obviously a live show boon as well, giving loopers, solo artists, and coffeehouse singer-song-writers more options when performing. The headphone out – with level control – lets you practice silently with full, speaker-emulated tone and it also gives you the option of in-ear monitoring on a gig.
