Frequently asked questions
Which one should a bass player choose?
The PowerStage 700 Bass is purpose-built for bassists, with a discrete transistor preamp designed for low-end articulation and 700W output for live stages. The PowerStage 100 Stereo is a monitor/studio routing amp, not a bass instrument amplifier.
Can I use the PowerStage 100 Stereo for stereo monitoring in a live rig?
Yes—the 100 Stereo has dual inputs, independent speaker and XLR outputs, and switchable cabinet simulation, making it ideal for stereo monitor mixes and live reinforcement in compact spaces.
What's the main difference in power output?
The PowerStage 100 delivers 100W per channel (stereo), while the PowerStage 700 Bass delivers 700W @ 4 ohms or 350W @ 8 ohms from a single amplifier head—vastly more power designed for larger venue coverage and bass low-end demands.
Which is better for studio work?
Both suit studios differently: the PowerStage 100 excels at monitor mixing and reference-grade stereo signal routing; the PowerStage 700 is a bass amplifier head for direct recording and amp-to-interface workflows.
