With 250 real watts of power and 125dB, the 112 Plus is loud enough for you to be heard over drums and small band applications. I have gigged mine in every size room imaginable and I have always been able to hear myself on stage. Hooking to a PA on top of that ensure that the crowd can hear me. The only time I wasn’t loud enough was at an outdoor show with no PA space available for my guitar rig. I could hear myself, but the crowd couldn’t. In this case, you may need the Powercab 212 Plus.
