The Seymour Duncan PowerStage 170 is quite simply one of the most compact guitar power amps on the market – it's been expressly designed for players who build their sound with pedalboards, multi-effects, or modelling systems yet still want to drive a real cabinet on stage. It delivers 170W at 4 ohms while remaining small enough to fit easily on or under a pedalboard. The rugged metal housing and status LEDs for power, temperature, and over-current protection are evidence that this compact device has been created with everyday use in mind – otherwise, the controls couldn't be simpler. Thanks to the integrated mains connection, there's no need to carry a bulky external power supply. This saves space and simplifies setup: Literally plug and play.
The PowerStage 170's control panel is deliberately minimalistic: Dials for volume, bass, mid, and treble – what else does a busy guitarist really need in practice? Certainly, the three-band EQ allows musicians to make frequency adjustments of up to ±13dB per band, so the sound can be nice and neutral or shaped with precision. On the rear, input and output are provided as 6.3mm jack sockets, along with the power switch and an IEC socket for the internal power supply. Status LEDs for power, temperature, and over-current protection give reliable feedback on operating conditions. This makes the Seymour Duncan PowerStage 170 easy to integrate into any setup, whether it's placed in front of, behind, or underneath the pedalboard – as long as it's at the end of the signal chain.
The Seymour Duncan PowerStage 170 is the perfect solution for guitarists who have already shaped their sound pre-cab with pedalboards, multi-effects, or modelling systems – so they just need a neutral, powerful power amp. Of course, with its combination of a tiny footprint and comparatively high output, it'll be especially appealing to players who want to keep things light for touring or rehearsals, while still enjoying the punch and physical feel of a real cabinet. It also works well as a backup for far more complex rigs, since it can easily stand in for a full amplifier if needed. The effortlessly simple operation makes it accessible to both practised professionals and aspiring amateurs, while the rugged construction ensures reliability wherever it's put to use.
The Californian manufacturer Seymour Duncan is one of the largest suppliers of pickup systems for electric and acoustic guitars, as well as basses. The company founded by its namesake also develops pedals and other accessories for guitarists. The current product range is comprehensive and covers a wide variety of construction types. Pickups are available as after-market products, but are also often integrated by many guitar manufacturers, whether in the USA or the Far East (under the name Duncan Designed). In addition to the well-known models, such as JB, Duncan Distortion and Pearly Gates, many signature models have been created for and named after well-known guitarists of all genres, from Mark Knopfler and Joe Bonamassa to Yngwie Malmsteen and Dave Mustaine.
The Seymour Duncan PowerStage 170 can be placed directly after a pedalboard to drive a guitar cabinet without the need for an additional amp. With 170W at 4 ohms, it delivers enough power for small to mid-sized stages and rehearsal spaces, although it can drive cabinets with impedances of up to 16 ohms. In the studio, it's ideal as a neutral amplifier for re-amping or pre-production, especially where quick changes between different setups are required. As a backup power amp for guitarists who normally use traditional amps or digital rigs, it's also a smart choice – ready to step in when needed and incredibly easy to transport thanks to its compact dimensions.
