Product Description

The Power Engine 60 is a 1 x 12 open-backed extension cabinet. It packs 60 watts of transparent power and has a special design speaker, individual level control, 3-band active tone controls, and balanced XLR input, 1/4 in. input, and balanced XLR output. The Power Engine 60 matches and complements the Tech 21 Trademark 60 two-channel, combo amp.

Continuing the tradition of designing multi-functional products, this handsome cabinet can also be used with any direct recording device or acoustic pre-amp, analog or digital, tube or solid state, in stomp box or rackmount formats, from any manufacturer! That's right: Zoom, Boss, Digitech, Hughes & Kettner, Marshall, Fishman, L.R. Baggs, or even Tech 21's own line of SansAmps!

Without having to tweak all of your presets, you can take all those great direct recording sounds you've spent so much time creating out to a gig and amplify them. Just plug your SansAmp or other preamp into a Power Engine 60 and get all the volume you need without any additional coloration. Knowing that not all rooms are created acoustically perfect, you can compensate for less than ideal circumstances simply by adjusting the convenient, onboard active EQ controls.

With ground-independent inputs and output, there's no limit to how much power you can have. You can chain Power Engine 60s together from New York to Tokyo, and back if you like. Power Engines can also facilitate stereo configurations - with a traditional amp or with a preamp and stereo processor.

Whether you need an extension cabinet for your Tech 21 amp, SansAmp or preamp gizmo du jour, just multiply by 60 until you run out of fingers! If you've already got great tone and just need some extra volume, kick it up with 60, 120, or even 600 watts of raw muscle with the Power Engine 60. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Tech 21 products.
The Power Engine 60 is covered in black vinyl with a custom beige grill and decorative white piping to complement the Trademark 60 - the 1x12, 60-watt, 2-channel guitar combo amp, and the Trademark 10 - the 1x8, 10-watt direct recording combo amp.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (34 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "Best amp to use with amp/FX modelers"
Sound: I had just stepped into the world of digital modeling (tube snob). I got this to amplify my new Digitech RP1000 multi FX pedal which I had been running to PA and monitors because it sounded terrible thru my tube amps. This system is the last piece of the puzzle in my new search for tone. My new pedal always sounded great at home in the bedroom at low volume thru a tube amp's clean channel or headphones, but when I tried to play at gig volume thru an amp, it sounded terrible and I had to just use the PA which was ok but not ideal. The Power Engine 60 has changed that. All my hard won pre sets now sound phemomenal and sound exactly like what I create in my headphones. It is loud enough to play with a drummer. If you need more power you can link as many of these as you want together with XLR cables. I use 2 and run them in stereo to both sides of the stage. Feature: There aren't that many-THERE IS NO PREAMP SECTION-This is just clean power going to a 12" Celstion speaker, with 1/4 and XLR ins and XLR out, 3 band eq and volume, 60 watt power amp. I just leave th eq's at 12 o'clock because they are kind of a pain to access on the back panel. I set the volume where I need it and use a BOSS 9-band EQ at the end of the line for any final EQ tweaks. Send the XLR out to your board and you will get the same signal going to the speaker. No miking required! Ease of Use: Pretty cut and dry here - plug in - find the right volume and rock out! Like I said earlier, eq and volume are located on the back. Hard to get to and see to adjust on a dark stage, so an 8 on ease of use. I send the XLR out signal to the PA when gigging which eliminates having to mic it. One less thing to set up. Quality: I've only had it a few days but it has a Celestion speaker and seems to be very sturdy and well constructed. Lighter than my tube combos by about 20 lbs. I also have a Tech 21 Sansamp pedal that I've had for 14 years and it still works great. Value: This is the only product I know of it's kind, essentially a clean and transparent powered monitor for amplifying guitar amp modeling devices and other preamp signials without added colorartion. Since there is nothing else like it, I guess it's the best value if you are looking for something to power your modeling unit or preamp. Manufacturer Support: Haven't needed it from Tech 21. I will say ZZ Sounds customer service is top notch. I think they really care about working class musicians by enabling us to buy gear on a 4 payment plan. It certainly made it easier for me. This was my 2nd purchase from them and I will be coming back to them. I live in NC and i get my stuff in 3 days with free shipping. The Wow Factor: Nice looking cab with a cool retro vibe. Other musicians come up and ask about it at gigs because it sounds fantastic and it's different than the typical half stacks you see. I could still make music without it. I basically got it in hopes that it would make the $400 Digitech FX processor I bought sound good and I am very glad I did. This is the absolute best solution for amplifying a modeling pedal. I'd repalce it if it was stolen. Overall: I expect this to be the last guitar amp I'll ever need.

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "If you own a processor this is the amp you are looking for."
Sound: The sound is awesome. I unplugged my podhd500 from my fullstack and plugged it into the pw60 and made a minor eq adjustment on the pw60 and cranked it up and it sounded better than my stack just as loud and clearer sounding,more responsive etc. Not and full sounding but better tone. I'm confident if I had four of the pw60's it would sound better. The pw60's eq is what makes the difference. For studio use you could adjust the pw60's speaker to have more punch,twang,or lag for metal. I'm a metal guy so I was really impressed. Feature: The pw60 is light weight. Its like picking up a case of beer. The eq is awesome. Pretty bare bones unit. I think the ability to connect to other pw60's is its biggest asset. Ill defenatly be ordering more. If your looking for a amp for your podhd500 or any other processor the pw60 is it. Save your bank and your back. Its worth it for the sound and flexability.the only feature missing is a ohm selecter switch and the ability to plug it in to a 4x12 cab. But like I said buy 4 and your covered. Zzounds makes that very easy for anyone. Ease of Use: I'm only giving it a 9 because the plugs and controls are on the back. Its a pain at home but with a podhd500 that has a master volume its not to inconvienant and it does make it look better. Quality: What can I say looked great and made in the u.s.a. and I noticed it doesn't get real hot. All in all it should last. For the price I could buy 6 for the price of a 6505+ and matching cab. And have more versitility and sound just as good. Value: Great value $330 to sound better and only carry 33lbs Manufacturer Support: I've got there number if I ever need it. 1 year Warrenty should be good. I work my equiptment pretty hard. I had a solid state amp from another brand I won't mention and it blew in 3 days. The Wow Factor: Great retro boutique looking amp. Overall: Overall I think I finally found my signature amp. I'm gonna be following tech21 for a long time. I look for products that will give me the best sound with the most flexability. I don't have to have a Axe fx and a 2 atomic 2x12's for $4000 or a 6505+ and cab for $2000 that is a one trick pony unless I buy multiple pedals or processing gear. The pw60 and a podhd500 for $830 with give me the volume I need. Its light weight. Great tone. And the ability to add more speakers when my budget allows and when I come upon larger venues. Not to mention any pedal I buy in the future will work perfect with it. I don't know how many times I've bought a guitar or pedal just to be disappointed it sounds bad with my amp.
