our sound engineer, has a 400w (200 each side) PA system. As you can tell from the sig, i use 5 watt head. At clean volume (around half volume), would i be heard mic'd into the PA?

ill be getting a slightly larger amp at some point, but for now im sticking to the BH5H.
 
I think it might be a struggle at that power rating. I would feel better if it were 400 watts a side to get the guitars and vocals through intelligibly.
 
We use a 1200w pa and just put vocals, acoustic guitar and bass drum through it. I've not needed to mic the amp for any pub/club gig yet. 400w really isn't enough for anything more than vocals, the more you put through the more difficult it gets to get a clear sound.
