   Our band got too electric for its own good in
the small coffeehouse where we played. After the
manager unbooked us, we came back in a new
incarnation with only the vocals slightly amped.
Works great in the venue and is a lot easier,
gear and setup-wise. As a tinitis sufferer, I
love it. I even notice now that the sound is WAY
too loud in movie theaters. The concommitant rise
in the number of loud talkers generally is one
result of all this over-amping, IMHO. Just my .02
worth.
