Twin Fender Acoustasonic Jrs w/DSP into a Yamaha stereo PA sound reinforcement system, or a Trace Elliott TA100R into the house sound system with some occasional pedals and multiple pre-amp effects.

I've been playing in clubs since 1976 as a solo/duo. I plug into a Peavey XR-600F With EV Speakers. They're a great team. Custom Legend,Peavey,EV. I think you're on the right track with your Peavey XR-600C. The newer models have more to offer with both clarity and effects. I would recomment the XR-600G which you can pick up for around $300.00.

When Guitarras De Fuego plays out we use our Bose L1,fills an entire room with sound,and the clarity is un believable! Plus I use my alesis reverb w/ my old trusty Ibanez stereo chorus for that rich smooth sound.

Another vote for the Genz-Benz Shenandoah Jr. (I got it because I really liked the bigger Shenandoah, but that one's just a killer for me to tote.)

Currently using an old, Peavey 200W 5-channel mono PA.

Hoping to upgrade to this in a week or two:

Yes,with P A quality being so good these days,using P A is the way to go,many of them mixers have usable effects and footswitches to control them,I got a Morley wah inserted at times,will look into a crybaby as well,the Dual Showman had to go,combo 2x12 plus 15" cab.became way too heavy,but it was a humdinger allright,of course, using a small amp as monitor is allways a good idea, BTW,Anyone tried the Helicon Vocal monitor,the one that mounts on a mic.stand ?

I've SEEN 'em, and they DO look nice . . .

I've got a small, Fender 100W bi-amp'd monitor.

Genz Benz 200 watt Stereo with extention speakers. Closest thing to a Marshall Stack for acoustic players. 150 watt Ashdown Radiator 2. Got that a few months ago cause the Genz stays at church most of the time. Really like the Ashdown, much smaller and kind of retro, lots of dials.

I start by plugging into a 12 foot high Marshall Stack. It has a 1000 Watts per channel with a stereo fuzzbuster nutcrackers assbleeders power center with twelve , yes (12) 28 inch power wooffers and (36) 12 inch tweeters that are
pre-amped by a dozen 1960 Fender Twin Reverb amps.That sound system seems to meet my playing needs on Sunday mornings at my church.
The last time I cranked it up ( March 28, 1979 ) past the volume setting 3 for a concert I did in Middletown Pennsyvlvnia the nuclear plant called Three Mile Island had a Meltdown.
If you need any info on a setup like this contact a guy here calling himself Lanaki.Hope that helps . GWB

I probably should consider using my good PA but I didn't even think about it. I've got a Allen and Heath MixWizard 16:2 with a Quest 3002 amp going to 2 Peavey SP-3G's. So in mono I could push 3000 watts !! But I only use this PA for practice as we always hire a soundman. But i probably should give it a try ??

Regards,

Tom

Sounds like Nice Equipment doc.,put the speakers on stands,well above earlevel,Nice for the audience ,speakers now unblocked will reach far,and as a bonus,Feedback will hardly occur,easily controlled, of course,a good soundman is allways appreciable :)

How far have U come with the SpeakerCab Project?

It has really worked out well. I have not gotten a speaker stand yet. The feet would extend larger than my alloted space. :confused: Right now I have the drummer on my left and 2 trumpet players on my right. We just added an electric guitar player. He has so much gear that some changes in our setup will have to be made. I might put the amp on a mic stand which would take up less room but would not be as stable as a speaker stand.

The amp really does have a great sound and enough power.

Fender Acoustasonic 30. Tried a GenzBenz, a Peavey, Fishman, settled on the Fender. Thought for the combination of $/sound/features it won out. Loved the Fishmans, but $$$. Since I was only picking this up for home studio, it helped narrow things down.

Bose showed the new version of the L1 at Frankfurt. Much smaller and lighter power stand with all tone processing from a small satellite unit rather than built into the base unit. This new unit has 4 mic or line inputs and addreses the constant complaint of lack of reverb and effects in the original L1. It´s compatible with channels 3 and 4 of the original model.

Nice of 'em to make it compatible with the original. Adding reverb was so necessary. Did they, by any chance, add chorus, too?
