Members Jimmy Chaos Posted October 23, 2012 Members Share Posted October 23, 2012 I'm with Terry on the Crate. Used to use one for my small bar gig. (bar holds about 50 tops) and the sound was loud enough without going into distortion-land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly a better amp for getting a tube-like electric guitar tone, which the Crate doesn't do all that well, in all honestly. The Crate, otoh, is great for a/e guitar tone.About $100 less than the Crate Limo, like I use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost bought one when they first came out but decided to get a Vox battery powered amp instead. I wish I had got the Traynor. They also make excellent acoustic guitar amps but the old Traynor tube amps are very desirable since they were direct copies of Fender circuitry.When The Plastic Ono Band played Toronto in 1969 Traynor supplied the amplifiers.Try to ignore Yoko...

Notice that Ono used a lyric sheet? I'm guessing it says something like "Verse One - sound like a cat being tortured with a soldering iron", "Verse Two - sound like a hamster in a blender", "Lead Break - do an impersonation of Ned Beatty in Deliverance", etc, etc...

Members bsman Posted October 24, 2012 Members Share Posted October 24, 2012 Wow -- I haven't played through my TX30 in a couple of years, and now you guys have to resurrect this thread?!?!? I guess next nice weekend I'll have to head outside with an acoustic and mic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bullettoothtony Posted October 24, 2012 Members Share Posted October 24, 2012 My cousin just sprung for a Hiwatt 15 watt buskers amp for me, given that I'd been busking with an un-electrified ukulele since sadly having to sell my acoustic. Its way cool!! Sounds alot like the crate ones, rechargeable internal battery, 2 channels (1 instrument 1 mic) 8" high performance speaker, reverb, gain EQ, all that good stuff..Its perfect for me!! I'm well chuffed. Plus, I just found out that a mate has what he describes as a beater he's gonna let me have!! A solid top vintage v300. My cup it runneth over!!!

Members jamesp Posted October 25, 2012 Members Share Posted October 25, 2012 I'd think a Busker's dream would be more like a steady gig indoors somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it wouldn't be busking...Those kind of gigs are very few and far between round here and one guy with a uke (the guitar is a regular acoustic) and a questionable voice just might not cut it. I can just about fool the general public... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
