Need a pedal amp - what should I get?

[itchyfingers]

I recently had 2 2x10 cabinets made, and have been running my board into an AC30 (or a Super Reverb TM) and out to the two cabs. I'd like to get a stereo setup going for larger venues, where I set each cab on opposite sides of the stage, but don't wanna hassle with bringing two amp heads. I'm thinking I could split the signal somewhere on the board so that one route goes to the AC30 and the other hits a pedal-sized amp and that routes to the other cab.

Is this do-able? What do you recommend, TGF?

I vote Blug something or other.

BluGuitar Amp 1 Mercury Edition should be a great pairing for that.

I currently use the Iridium Edition together with the Mesa Mark V in a similar rig. Works great.

Isn't the Blug like the size of a Volkswagen?

I am concerned about real estate on the pedalboard, but I suppose I could just sit it on top of the cab...

What is the BluGuitar modeled after? Can I get some sparkly clean tones?

Do you have a Temple board? I wondered about this guy:

Pedaltrain and DIY boards is what I am currently working with, but that Temple amp module is pretty freakin cool.

With this module or the BluGuitar or even these UA amp-in-a-box pedals, do I need to run the to a power amp or can I go direct to the cab?

The Temple mod is the amp. Obviously want to match cabinet impedance to get full power out of it. It probably doesn't make sense without a Temple board. If you did amp in a box pedal; you would need an actual power amp.

I'd say grab another Super Reverb TM and call it a stereo day that way

Point of thread was to help me spend money, but I appreciate the simple solution, JT

The TC BAM200 is borderline pedalboard friendly, it’s pretty flat and I think the heat vent is on the bottom, so you could always put shit on top of it.

Much less room than even the Blug.

Probably not important but I'll share these 2 Ritter units anyway. Heard good things so far - never played one tho.

Keep in mind these are power amps, so you'd need a preamp or modeler.

Both are stereo capable:

Guitar Board Amp SHP

280W mono or 2x140W stereo amplifier for pedal boards or modern stage boards

and

Guitar Board Amp TRAVELLER

Ultra-compact stereo guitar amp with 2×140W or 280W mono output, volume control, and pro-grade connectivity. Perfect for pedalboards and live gigs.

The Ritter amp I have pulled out of Kemper is great! Weird form factor that only fits the Kemper but I dig it \m/

60W class D, I'm not very convinced this thing's got enough juice, tbh

It might not be, but I will say, my Bluguitar Amp 1 keeps up with drummer and band, easily, through a 1x12, on 4 or 5 on the master volume, with the channel volumes on 8, and it doesn’t hit the “60 watt range” on the master volume dial until around 7
