Members NeverTheMachine Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 Do they make such an amp that can be used for solo performance; such as plugging in an acoustic or electric guitar and serve as a P.A at the same time? If not, let me know what the options are that come close. A P.A might be asking too much, but what is a good tube amp that can serve as both an acoustic and electric amp? When I say electric, meaning it has more than one channel with preamp dirt, reverb, presence, etc. .. not something just for clean tones, but Options.

Members peavey_impact Posted December 10, 2012 Members Share Posted December 10, 2012 Closest thing i can think of is the Rivera Sedona, but i'm not sure if it has a mic input. You could always get an xlr to 1/4" adapter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrelusive Posted December 10, 2012 Members Share Posted December 10, 2012 That style of setup usually doesn't work very well since most speakers are voiced for either a PA or an electric guitar. I've never really heard any electric-guitar amp, tube or otherwise, that an acoustic sounded good through. I've also never come across a tube amp for an acoustic guitar, though...

Members Mogwix Posted December 10, 2012 Members Share Posted December 10, 2012 Get an ELX-112p. Use that as your PA/acoustic amp and use either a separate amp for your electric guitar or some sort of modeller. Otherwise, you're only going to deal with compromise. PA and acoustic amps are very different in design and application than guitar amps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrelusive Posted December 10, 2012 Members Share Posted December 10, 2012 I really enojoyed the Fishman SoloAmp and the Fender Acoustasonic SFX II as far as acoustic / pa style stuff goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GCDEF Posted December 10, 2012 Members Share Posted December 10, 2012 Powered PA speaker, small mixer, modeler like a POD or something for the electric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can mic a small combo, use a red box, use an amp that has direct out or run a preamp directly into a Carvin powered mixer into Mackie active speakers paired with a Bag End subwoofer. That will sound light years better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NeverTheMachine Posted December 10, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 10, 2012 Yeah, I just realized this was probably a stupid request. Thanks for the suggestions though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the only tube product AFAIK. I used Schertler Unico for a while, Mesa/Boogie V-Twin into the line-in input, vocals, bass, electronic drumset and acoustic guitar via the normal inputs.

Members nakedzen Posted December 11, 2012 Members Share Posted December 11, 2012 Orange used to make tube powered PA's in the 70's, but this is probably your best bet: Originally Posted by GCDEF Powered PA speaker, small mixer, modeler like a POD or something for the electric.

Members Norton666 Posted December 11, 2012 Members Share Posted December 11, 2012 With todays live sound technology , a tube PA is just silly imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
