bass head from a processor

:bassist:
Anyone ever use a bass processor and a power amp as a head. Can it be used instead of a regular bass head. Thanks Hank

So long as the output of the processor macthes the input of the poweramp, it should be fine. Search, it's been done many times.

Hi.

Yep, many threads about the subject. Not the easiest to find with the search though.

Any device that can deliver the RMS voltage that the power amp needs will be "enough". IOW the output of the "device" have to equal the sensitivity of the amp.

A few years ago I gigged with Yamaha FX500 guitar processor feeding a half broken HH power amp. Plenty of power and decent sound.
