Hello,
I'm planning on buying the Quilter Bassblock 802 amp. 800 watts is more than I need, but it sounds great, is in my price range, and has a headphone jack for silent practicing which I intend to use. I will also be using it for rehearsing with my band and for gigs. The question is, will the amp be consuming the same amount of power as a headphones amp as it would playing loudly with a band? In which case, will using this amp cause my electricity bill to go up over, say, Quilter's 45w dedicated headphones amp? Should I be looking for a 300-400 watt amp instead if I'm worried about power consumption?
Thanks!
Paul
