Powerstage 170 settings

  • I just picked up a Powerstage 170 for my Stage. Any advice on EQ? Do you set the Powerstage EQ and then set the amp profile EQ, or the other way around? I have been setting the Powerstage EQ in the middle and adjusting the amp profile after but it does seem to limit the tone a bit. I tried burying all three of the EQ on the Powerstage and it seemed to distort the amp profile. Thanks in advance for any tips.

  • I have the 700 version.

    I've almost always left it flat.

    That being said it's great to be able to quickly change something live. Thing is that might not be good for the next profile.

    Depends on what you're using for a cab though I suppose.

  • I used to use it flat when I had my PS170, used the kemper EQ for getting my tone at home, and when going to the stage, according to the scenary and acoustics I tweaked the PS170 on the course of the event, most of the time I just lowered the bass a bit and upped the mids so I can hear myself better.

    The answer is 42

  • I still have my PS170 but just bought Powered Kabinet to simplify things.

    I would leave the PS flat and adjust slightly depending on room.

    I didn't change profile EQ or output EQ on Kemper
