Location: 6 String Ranch | Really only need the power for a PA for the mics. Is it possible to plug in an acoustic guitar? All the ones I see around here just play in front of the mic except the banjer which needs nothing. |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | We could use a generator? My PA has 8 channels and I have mics (4 or 5) and probably as many stands...and yes a few can plug in but not everybody at once...it would limit the number playing at the same time...seems like a lot of unnecessary stuff if it won't work for everyone...I'll do whatever the majority wants, but...
Why don't we just go Acoustic? No amps/No PA?
We don't have a PA set up in the hotel lobby for the tour...and it sounds great, and everyone that wants to participate can do so! |

Seriously, if ya have a two prong power cord on your equipment, all is well. If you have a three prong, I can check out the power grounding prior to ya'll pluggin' in with a 3-2 adapter.
BTW, I won't be bringing my gen set; not enough truck room and the 'cane season isn't over until December! |

Plugging-in 6 or 8 guitars (that'll - for the most part - all be playing the SAME thing) will just create a "wash" that's gonna' drown everything else out . . . |

| Cliff speaks truth. These are, after all first and foremost, acoustic guitars. |

As to Beals thought about the rumor of being able to plug an Ovation in: I can happily declare that for some Ovations: it's true! Who wudda thunk it?
All I can say is: ROAD TRIP!!!!!!! :D |
