Any solo acoustic systems out there? Along with 98% of the people in this thread, i am also an IT guy/application developer...i found it funny how many of us are in the same field so-to-speak. I played in an acoustic duo/trio for 15 years and finally decided less is more. I have recently put together my solo rig - here goes: 1. Crate PX600 DP Powered Mixer Got it from a friend. has a 16 band EQ and pushes about 150+ watts each to my mains which are... 2. Yamaha A12 Mains I perch these things up on my "on-stage" tripods and they are fantastic! 3. Samson A2 Acoustic pedal I use this not only to add a little compression and reverb to my Martin DCXE - but it has a cool sounding drum machine that i play along with on about 70% of my set list...i control the drum machine with an external yamaha foot pedal. 3. Zoom 502 Acoustic pedal Believe it or not, i run my vocal send through this and have it programmed to add reverb, EQ, and a little doubling effect...I have used alesis and yamaha vocal processors in the past and this "accident" i found is the best thing i have ever used on my vocals... 4. Samson Q7 vocal mic This thing is sweet - I have used 58's, and had a beyerdyne for a while and, for me the Q7 is best. My pedals sit nicely on a mount on top of my powered mixer which sits right beside me upon an "on-stage" amp stand tilted perfectly so i that everything is at my fingertips while standing. I am looking for an adequate, inexpensive monitor solution and have considered a used in-ear product. I also thought about getting a $40 kustom 10" monitor and a stand to set beside me at ear level...any suggestions would be great. this setup works perfectly for me. I can carry everything into the venue in about 3 trips and set it up in under 15 minutes. any other solo acoustic entertainers??? -mike
