I have the Stage 100 DSP......

Image

Small, portable, and one loudass sumbitch. It has pretty decent tone and a nice palette of onboard effects. The extension speaker jack allows the flexibility of adding a second 8-ohm load to suit one's "druthers". Thus far, mine has been bulletproof and totally reliable.

thanks arjay - nice looking stack!

i'm assuming the extension takes the amp from 100 to 160 watts? that thing must be loud
does having the extension make a lot of difference in sound too?

Yes. At 8Ω with the internal speaker only, the amp develops 100 watts (at max). Adding a second 8Ω load raises that figure to 160 watts.

The matching DT112 extension cab is a sealed bass-reflex design and really fattens up the bottom end, especially for outdoor venues.

I have the 160 dsp and love it. It defenately is LOUD!!! Very loud!! Actually not a good practice amp for around the house but a great amp for the money if you like the volume up a bit..

Those little DT112 cabs are relatively rare and quite expensive when they pop up. I got mine for $115 off of Ebay about four years ago but there are some lunatics asking $300 for them now.

:shock:

anybody here have the stage 1000? heard good things about the 100, but the 1000 has timbre controls as well as an onboard tuner.

any thoughts?
