    Default cleans with a PA.

    our sound engineer, has a 400w (200 each side) PA system. As you can tell from the sig, i use 5 watt head. At clean volume (around half volume), would i be heard mic'd into the PA?

    ill be getting a slightly larger amp at some point, but for now im sticking to the BH5H.
    Guitars: Ibanez RG420EG, Harrier Mistral Ice White Tele
    Amps: Hughes & Kettner Edition Blue 15R (w/ 8" Celestion), Marshall Valvestate Mk.I 8100 Head, Blackheart BH5H Head
    Cabs: Marshall 4x12 (4 x Celestion Pro 12")
    FX:Line 6 Floor POD, BOSS 7-band GE-7, BOSS Mega Distortion MD-2, Vox V847a Reissue Wah, Danelectro Cool Cat Drive

    Just another Rig Sig Jig, Dig?

    I think it might be a struggle at that power rating. I would feel better if it were 400 watts a side to get the guitars and vocals through intelligibly.

    We use a 1200w pa and just put vocals, acoustic guitar and bass drum through it. I've not needed to mic the amp for any pub/club gig yet. 400w really isn't enough for anything more than vocals, the more you put through the more difficult it gets to get a clear sound.
