Question Triaxis Mesa Boogie preamp?

Ok, so I intend to buy one of these puppies, one day, but what else should I go with it, I can plug into a PA system? Just need to be explained in plain English lol.

You can connect a Triaxis a PA. You should use the file "out" jacks to simulate the rest of the amplifier setup that you will not if you only buy the Triaxis. So basically, the Triaxis is a preamp – it's where the majority of your tone shaping occurs – if the sound is clean, crunch or distorted etc. The preamp should normally be connected to a power amplifier, as the Mesa 20/20, 50/50 or 2:90 type, then in an enclosure. This gives you all the components of the classic tube amp. The file OUT Triaxis try to simulate the power amp and speaker of its parts – for use when registering so that you do not have to configure the amplifier together and put a microphone in front of the cabinet. It does fairly well, but this is not exactly the same as that of a real amplifier Miked. I used my Triaxis a PA and it does sound really good. You should not use the normal output, use the record outputs. Not only for tonal reasons I explained above, but because the normal output signal is very powerful and will burn the PA channel you plug it in, unless you are very observant. The new CDs are also very powerful, so it's a good idea to lower the master volume on the Triaxis, then reduce the gain channel on your AP. I think to get the best of Triaxis, you better have a guitar amp and speaker power because they add real character to the sound. Using a PA, you replace amp power of the PA speakers and the guitar amplifier and speaker. The other thing is that with a configuration of AP, you still need to install a loudspeaker directed at you so you can hear you correctly on other instruments are played by the Authority PA. If you use the PA alone, of course not a problem. Hope this is what you need!
