In your initial post you said you've been "out of the business since
1988".
What "business" were you in? I find it odd that anyone who claims
experience in pro sound would not know where an EQ goes in the
signal chain, describe an EQ as "32 channel",
or not know how to describe a power amp ("watts vs "amps"?).

And, I wouldn't trust that EQ to last too long after you connected it
to a power amp's output. A recipe for failure.

I knew that old joke in a different version that used a specific
nationality instead of a hillbilly. The nationality is one that makes
up half of my heritage. We are the local ethnic joke in this area.

** Maybe * Methuselah * has got an old A21 or 22 from the late 70s.

Are older QSC models still around ?

I remember the days McIntosh (spelling questionable) tube amps were the
choice amps used.
