i can only add to the above. as a monitor it may cope. Mine coped fine at any rehearsal i threw at it. fantastic practice amp, great for rehearsals, for gigs its a monitor at most. the di is fantastic di though and it may do what your looking for. my honest advice is go and try one, ask the shop owner if they would mind you cranking it. i use quite a treble heavy sound and it was bloody loud imho.
