he's mistaken.  i used it for both.  there is an amp/mixer switch on back,
but when experimenting with it at home (with amps) i can't discern any
difference.

i've done this many times without issue.  i have an rp250, but i don't 
believe
a 255 is sufficiently different to matter.  i use a 1/4" cable plugged 
into the left
output (don't recall why left, or if it matters) going straight into the 
PA.  many
different PA's, for that matter.  never an issue.

should be right.  was the PA in question the venue's, or your band's?
if the latter you could at least experiment with it.

i don't use my 250 any more, since the power supply connection got flaky
and my vox has all the models/effects i need.  but i used it, and an rp300
before that, with a variety of amps and PA's for several years without 
problems,

if you don't have access to a PA, perhaps a friendly local bar where you 
play
might let you experiment with one during off hours?
