how is the sound being plugged vs not being plugged to an amp?

Unplugged you'll get a beautiful clean sound. Plugged is pretty acceptable. I've played many times on stage with it and was never dissatisfied

When it's plugged, you can make it an amplified acoustic sound or the electric sound. Not plugged, it sounds like a beginner guitar, which is fine!

there is some static noise yes..as with many amps...but if it is minimal when playing..you are good. If not, I would contact the seller.

no, it has a decent sound without the amp (not great, but certainly not bad) but an amp definitely makes it much more fun to play.

Plug into amp, plug into guitar. It's super simple. You don't need to channels just two cables

It is not loud. When I play live and plug in to the same D.I. box that other players have been using, my guitar can't be heard. I have to tell the sound person to boost my gain considerably, then it works. It seems a preamp is necessary.

Active.You do NOT need an amplifier.The amplifier is built into the speakers and each speaker needs power and each comes with its own power cordI love the clean sound and works well for near field monitoring.I am NOT a professional in music.

its electric you plug it into the wall glad to help, but i also warn you that it does not have great distortion and its only for beginners . the more you play guitar the more you will have an ear for what sounds good and your gonna wanna get a new amp eventually.

No amp is needed, but I have mine hooked up to an amp just to give them that little extra kick.

An amplifier has a high current draw. I wouldn't plug an amp in there. The connector on the power supply is referred to as the 'courtesy' and is meant to connect smaller things like another voodoo labs power supply or perhaps a power strip (to connect 9-12v adapters to power pedals)

As far as I've experienced it was just sound. But a really good sound. If you want to add power you probably want to look into getting a tuner as well.

No amp required, but I use it with a small portable headphone DAC/Amp when I connect tony laptop and they sound amazing. I also use with no amp attached to iPhone and the sound is fuller than my Shure IEMs

You can use the aux input. You'll need good speakers or else the amp will just make the music rough and distorted.

The speaker dictates the power your amp puts out not the other way around. The speaker draws the power. So just wire it normal and all will be fine.

You can practice with it, but very little sound. It's not necessary, but it's really made to be played through an amp. It would be the same if you didn't plug in an electric bass guitar. Thanks Sam.

I am running my stereo without an amp so I am not truly sure. It is not a pounding base that is for sure might be better with an amp. My stereo can only go up so loud before it starts to distort and there is no presence of true clean base. But what I got for the price I am happy with.

Actually, I haven't received the amp yet, therefore I could not test it yet either. Nonetheless, usually when working with this type of setup you must find a good balance between input volume (the one set at the input device) and output volume (the one set at the amp) in order to avoid distortion of the sound (if input volume is very high it will cause distortion) and also achieve a good output volume without forcing the amp (output volume too high) which by the way can also cause distortion of the sound. Hope this helps.

The bass is phat! You don't need an amp as long as you are playing from a decent source (iPod, etc.)
