Members gardo Posted August 7, 2021 Members Share Posted August 7, 2021 Had anyone tried the Fender LT 50 ? I need a line out which this has,because for some reason the sound guy won’t consider a mic in front of the amp. It’s not worth arguing about so I go with the flow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup one week he wasn’t there so I set up an amp and a mic myself. Worried OK except I didn’t get a chance to dial in the sound. Just not worth arguing with an “expert” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators daddymack Posted August 7, 2021 Moderators Share Posted August 7, 2021 first... How loud is your drummer?...IIRC, the Fender LT 50 Mustang was not able to keep up volume-wise with a moderate drummer in a decent sized room. Next...head or combo, how many watts and speaker config. Tube or SS, or hybrid? Modeling? Channels? Narrow this down so we can help you defeat the dreaded 'incompetent soundguy' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tube or SS, or hybrid? Modeling? Channels? Narrow this down so we can help you defeat the dreaded 'incompetent soundguy' I play with a vocal group with piano and guitar. I’ve been playing acoustic and want to try electric. a telecaster would be first choice. Using both pickups with a thin pick then roll back the volume.with the tone open . I get a nice rhythm sound this way. Some time ago I tried a little Marshall Valvestate VS15R. to test the concept.It has a line out so it did work but it’s a poor sounding amp.

Members Mikeo Posted August 7, 2021 Members Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) Not Mic-ing and amp, that does sound crazy to me. I do have a Vox amp with a line out. It's ok. Get a Quilter and be done with it. Maybe a Fender Tone master. Look em up Edited August 7, 2021 by Mikeo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all about control and insecurity. I do use an amp simulator for acoustic. Electric presents a new problem though. I can hear acoustic and there is a center monitor that also helps some but electric would need it’s own speaker of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted August 9, 2021 Members Share Posted August 9, 2021 Split the signal. Use your amp pointed at you. You give up "your " blend but you might not care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn’t work for me I more or less have to take what I get and make the best of it Electric guitar is a foreign concept , it’s always been acoustic. I suspect there is some resistance to my being non traditional The original suggestion was that I just plug on to an amp simulator like I do for acoustic. When it was pointed out that I wouldn’t be able to hear it was an”Oh yeah” moment We still have fun with it and I try to go with the flow . I’m actually embracing the challenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I go through an amp simulator and then to a monitor or amp it would seem easier to just use an amp with a line out . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted August 9, 2021 Members Share Posted August 9, 2021 Thinking expense is all. You already have the amp. Just add the simulator. You can split the signal before either so the sound guy gets his feed, you get your monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a versatile amp with a line out, Seems like I should be able to make it work. Plenty of sound options with it and should be loud enough if it's right behind me.

Get 2 of them and make the sound guy run both amps in stereo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
