Or a little lottery hit. Meyer Sound or QSC. We can talk in the green room. The art museum here uses Meyer Sound Products. Played through the smaller Meyer PA. It came with a sound guy. You'll still want a good board and some USB High definition computer monitor. Don't spend all your lottery winning, you still want a box truck with a power lift.

I still think the Cube is a great option, like the 30, the 60 or the street...used Cubes go fairly inexpensively...check reverb.com (ordinarily I would posy you a link, but I'm on a ship heading to Alaska, and the wifi is brutally slow... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gardo Posted August 10, 2021 Author Members Share Posted August 10, 2021 If you think the Roland is heavy just be glad you're not the pianist. I was at an event and heard a small Roland cube. I thoouhgt "wow ,that almost souds good". A mic is the best way to go but I would still have a fairly heavy amp to carry . I an go to GC and get an LT50 used for under $200 so I'll give one a try . It has a 12' speaker and weighs 20 lbs.. I should be able to program in a decent tone and save it . hopefully it will be a grab and go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which was why I suggested the Cubes, inexpensive, decent [not great] sounding, but the line out will sound better if the sound guy at least knows how to EQ in my [ancient warped] mind, it checked all the boxes Gardo was after...sure, I could name plenty of other, far more expensive amps, but why?

Agreed, l don’t need an expensive amp. This is a situation where good enough really is good enough- No one hears the amp except me , the sound goes through a PA. I know my range in the mix and am not a featured soloist. I went with a used LT 50 for under $200. There are so many amp models and effects that the right sound has to be in there somewhere. . It’s being shipped and should be here soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you are happy with the LT. Suggesting that you buy a two thousand dollar+ amp for a one-off gig... Not everyone wants nor has the money to buy 'champagne' gear...this is a perfect example.

Quilter would be fantastic but really is more than I need At least we’re talking about something. These days any traffic is good traffic.

Moderators daddymack Posted August 13, 2021 Moderators Share Posted August 13, 2021 I have no issues with Quilter...I own one, an Aviator head, and yes, it is older but its the first SS amp I ever felt was gig-able for the way I typically play [straight in]...but trying to multiply your budget 10x, IMHO, isn't helping talk is cheap...most of those amps...not so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gardo Posted August 14, 2021 Author Members Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) I got the Mustang LT 50 today and it should be just what I need. There are plenty of sound options, the one I’m currently checking out is an acoustic simulator. It’s a good starting point while I create something of my own. Here is something I really like , while the line out is affected by the gain and volume adjustments it is not affected by the master volume. This allows me to balance the amp speaker and the central monitor to heat what’s really going out. To me this is very useful and of the best features . Thanks for all of the discussions . By the way there are some great sounds for home use like Chaicago Blue and Rock-a-Billy . Oh yeah Edited August 14, 2021 by gardo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The master volume dosen't effect the line out . This allowed me to cut back the master and adjust to the PA sound then bring up the master again so to a level i could hear as we played. The amp is a fun toy at home too .Not exactly the same as my "real amp" though. But maybe i need more time to dial it in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
