Is there a guitar amp where i can bypass the electronics?

qsc speaker system image

Q. i have a decent multi-fx pedal, and i want an amp that i can only play the pedal through and not have the amp affect the tone. in other words, just go straight to the speaker without the electronics affecting the tone. is that possible? btw i can only spend up to $500 on it, so dont say tubes or anything like that. it needs to be good for gigging, too.

Answer
You can get rack mount amps, normally used for PA systems. They only provide power, no tone controls (typically). QSC, Behringer, Peavy, Carvin, etc... all make those types of amps. You may need a mixer depending on the amp. You can get some smaller wattage amps on Craigs list for around $100 if not less.

How would you power MTX home speakers?

I'm planning on getting these speakers http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7124685&type=product&productCategoryId=cat03044&id=1109937802226 and I was wondering what would be the best way to power them. Am I going to need an amp? Thanks for the help. 10 pts. best answer.
Hey thanks, I'm going to be using it as kinda a mobile dj system. I have a guitarcenter here in las vegas and I'm going to look at those last speakers that you mentioned. Do you happen to know what would be the best thing to hook the speakers to, then my computer to that same thing. That way i'll just play the music off my computer.

Answer
Do yourself a favor & do not buy those speakers. They are very bottom line, you'll be throwing away your money.

And those are not home speakers. How many home speakers do you know of that use "1/4" phone jack inputs for connection to an amplifier"?

Those are PA speakers. Cheaply built, poor sounding, unreliable PA speakers. If you want to use PA speakers for your home, spend a little more money & buy something that not only sounds good, but will last you for the rest of your life. Plus cheap low end PA speakers like MTX, Gemini, Gemsound, GMI & Behringer aren't any where near as loud as real DJ speakers.

These three speaker recommendations are suitable for home use. Not all DJ speakers are suitable for home use. Some are designed for large avenues & have too long of a throw, which would sound terrible in the limited space of a living-room, bedroom, basement, or garage.

You definitely want to buy a QSC amplifier, it's the best PA amp company on the market. (Years ago Crown was the best.)

It has an amplifier built in the subwoofer that powers the sub & the two full range speakers. It's extremely loud compared to any home stereo & the bass kicks REALLY hard. It's extremely popular with professional mobile DJs. The only thing is since it's a PA system it uses XLR connections. So you need to either use a DJ mixer, or use a preamp that has XLR outputs.
