Just to clarify the above, don’t use a stereo amp, it will A, not be loud enough with out distorting and B color the sound and that defeats the object of the exercise of POD use.

A small transistor PA amp (100 w – remember transistors aren’t as loud as tube amps) will do the job. However, if you wan to stick a desk and some mics (vox for the use of) and may be a Bass ID, than shoot for 1000.

We used to use a twin 500 (two channels of 500w running simultaneously) Power amp as a vocal PA and would sometimes run the guitar through it via an SM57. The drums kept up with this no problem.
