Floor-based Power for Your Pedal-based Rig
Seymour Duncan's PowerStage 170 is a miniature power amplifier that is engineered to attain the best tone and performance from your pedal-based electric guitar rig. Small enough to fit right on your pedalboard, the PowerStage 170 pumps out an astounding 170 watts — more than enough to power any combination of guitar cabinets. And the onboard 3-band EQ makes it extremely versatile, no matter what pedals you are using for your front end. The PowerStage 170 is the performing guitarist's new favorite tool.
Note: This device is intended to drive a speaker cabinet and should not be placed in front of an amplifier or pedals.

170 watts of clean power
More and more guitarists are getting hip to the great guitar tones that can be achieved by running their favorite guitar pedals — especially the amp-in-a-box variety — directly into a great power amplifier. That's exactly what the PowerStage 170 is designed for. By utilizing this setup, your stompbox tones receive enough juice to scream through anything from a compact 1 x 12-inch cab to a 4 x 12-inch cab. This makes the PowerStage 170 a favorite among traveling guitarists who rely on rented backlines and many of the gigging players around Sweetwater.
Convenient size
Unlike the heavy and large solid-state power amplifiers of the past, the Seymour Duncan PowerStage 170 is housed in a compact and attractive enclosure that will nestle right in with your other pedals. Not only that, but the PowerStage 170 is a featherweight. When you're done pummeling your audience's ears at the gig, simply pack up your pedalboard, and your amp is taken care of, too.
Plenty of tone-shaping power
The Seymour Duncan PowerStage 170 is engineered to get the most from your pedalboard. And thanks to a powerful 3-band EQ, it also sounds great as its own clean channel. The onboard 3-band EQ works with the power stage to match up to any cabinet. No matter what you're running on the floor, the PowerStage 170 will handle it flawlessly.
