I don’t know why ours refused to mic the amp but now I’m glad he did. It gave me an excuse to get another amp.

My everyday amp is only 26 watts X 2 with 10” speakers and has plenty of power. This Traynor can’t compete for clean sound but does get a nice rock tone

I disassembled the amp and cleaned it up also replaced the power switch with one from the parts bin . No issues ,everything seems to work as it should. It sounds OK with an ES 335 type at low volume with a little edge. It really does look like a scaled down Princeton Chorus . Not sure if it’s a keeper though

You may be right . I haven’t tried it out yet. Right now it’s disassembled for cleaning It looks just like a scaled down version of my Princeton Chorus, which is kind of cool

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

Okay I saw the ad and had to look. The ad says working so let’s go. Came home with a Traynor reverb mate 40. I have no experience with these but it was free. The power switch is broken but that should be an easy fix. I noticed it had 2 speakers , I think 8“ so I don’t expect much. .It even has 2 jacks for line out if I want to test that sound guy we talked about. It’s in the back of my truck covered with plastic until I get a chance to check for bugs etc. Sometime tomorrow I’ll check it out

As if I would win anyway Just having some fun talking

As soon as I win that $12k PA system from Sweetwater we’ll be doing things my way

There are used Fender LT50's out there under $200 . 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.

I have considered something tike that. . 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 .

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

I do use a hygrometer and add humors when the heat is on It looks like the humidipak also absorbs excess humidity which is released as needed. I like the concept of it works

Thanks, I once felt the same way but then had an Aria 12 string develop a crack on the top. I got it repaired under warranty but it was neve quite the same, to me at least. Perhaps it was just a cheap guitar to start with but I don’t chance it anymore.

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.

I’m going to pass on tube amps. No one will really hear the difference .

Cube? Hmmm , that deserves a look

Thanks, I ll take a look when I get home tonight

Thanks I never looked at Quilter

It would do the job and I have a 1x12 cab but that head is really more than I need . We’re jut a few people having some fun

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.

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”

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

White looks great HNGD

So are the rest of us irregular?

is that a bit like my random noodling that no energy goes into ?
