Powercab 112 Active Guitar Speaker Review

Wow! Just Wow!!

I got the HX stomp Xl and i was running it 4cm with a Rivera Suprema Jazz amp. Really great sound (when the amp was working). Long story…. I see line 6 advertised for this powercab. I figured why not? Half the price or so of a tube amp and more reliable (i hope). Sweetwater gets this thing to me in 2 days flat. Thanks! After playing with for half an hour i can't figure out why… read more this thing sounds kinda flat?? Hollow-like? Then i read - Set output to Line Level - OMG! This thing came ALIVE!! All the amps i was using were sounding so detailed and clean. Jazz/fusion. This powercab can really put out that "amo in the room" vibe well. Its reallly a pleasure to play. Very lightweight too. Easy gigging. The speaker sims will take sometime to get use too but they sound great so far. Oh yeah, this thing is LOUD!!! If you want a cheap and viable solution for gigging or jamming. This may work for you. Im sure this is gonna be a pleasure to record with. Very happy i took the plunge!!

Line6 PowerCab112 is sweet!

Been playing only effects from Podgo to Fender Blues Jr. amp. Now I get to sample the amps too. Love this thing, Powercab 112. Very loud! I only play at home in our den. Will never have to turn up the volume. Now all I have to do is find out how close to the real thing these amp sims come in. I'm really digging the Mesa Boogie simulations as well as the Fender sims. BTW: Have… read more had it for a few weeks now and haven't turn on my tube amp since I received the PC112. This thing is a lot of fun!

Exactly as Advertised

Im using a Helix LT and it sounds great through this power amp. I get the "amp in the room" sound. I play in a country band and took it to a small gig last night. Used the tilt back stand and adjusted the helix for the room. I only used about half the volume and had the drummer next to me. Very nice! Now, there is a trick to it. You have to send enough gain to the power amp to… read more dig into the speaker. They have a light that turns yellow to let you know where that is. It cannot be understated how important that is. Highly Recommended!

I want another one.

I want another for stereo. Not because one isn't loud enough. One is enough for any small club. I can't turn it up past 3 in my apartment. The internal speaker simulations are good but I don't think they are necessary. Amp modelers today have enough horsepower (shark processing) to get the job done. This guy is light, well constructed, looks great, love the kickstand, rackmount… read more gear fits on top (I have a Fractal in an SKB case and it sits on top perfectly without having to remove the top handle.). I have an Atomic CLR, a Friedman and QSC K2's and the Line 6 is the least expensive of the bunch and still holds its own with all of those. I'm at 4.5 stars because I would rather have a second input instead of the speaker modeling. Pretty minor but a second input would allow a seperate monitor mix from a PA system.
