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. | ||

Joined: April 2006 Posts: 2491 Location: Copenhagen Denmark | 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 ?

Joined: March 2003 Posts: 555 Location: Wooster, Ohio | 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. Steve | ||

Joined: January 2006 Posts: 1487 Location: Michigan | 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 | ||

Joined: March 2007 Posts: 302 Location: Buffalo,NY | 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 | ||

Joined: December 2004 Posts: 4394 Location: East Tennessee | Originally posted by Enfant Terrible aka V-Elite: 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. GospelGuitarGuy ; ,I remember when U talked about gettin`that AC 60,.. did U get the Stand for it too ...how`s it holdin`up ,are U happy with it ? Jason S; How far have U come with the SpeakerCab Project? Vic :cool: The amp really does have a great sound and enough power. | ||

Joined: March 2007 Posts: 9 Location: Ohio | 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. | ||

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. | ||
