Guitarists interested in building a custom stereo rig based on preamps and/or modeling devices or who would like to explore using a wet/dry/wet setup often reconsider once they realize they’ll probably need a separate power amp.
This is because they’re afraid that their rig will grow into an unwieldy monster, requiring refrigerator-sized racks, a dedicated tech to load and set it up and a van to haul everything around.
