my rig is: audix fireball V > samson airline 77 wireless > rp250 > PA
and i had lots of problems getting enough volume out.  i started playing
at a jam that had an actual sound guy last fall, and he told me that he
wasn't getting enough signal for me to be heard in the mix.  so i got
one of those ART Tube MP preamps and added it to the chain between the
rp250 and the PA, and life is bliss.  not only does it boost the levels
so i get decent sound, but when i want to travel light i bring just mic,
a mic cable, and the ART and play that through the PA, using the ART to
dial in some of that "warm tube sound", whatever that means.
