[Harp-L] Portable Harp Amp

["Bill" <bill.eborn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On the Sample and Looping Systems advice thread, someone (Mark Wilson I
think) mentioned a Peavey Solo Portable PA system, I did a quick Google and
came up with this, is it the right one?

I'm looking for a small amp that I can use for small gigs around town and at
jazz jam sessions - the main one is in a small narrow pub, where the band is
crammed at the front of the venue, it's always heaving with people, half of
whom are pushing past desperate to go outside for a nicotine fix, so space
is of an absolute premium and the p.a is really crap.  I use an SM57 and I
usually like to use a Art Tube pre-amp, although for this jam session, I
don't because it's such mayhem up there, I've had problems with the power
lead getting knocked out of the unit and the sound cutting out.

 

Ideally what I want to be able to do is to set up and play as quickly as the
sax players can stick there horns together and start blowing and also be
able to travel around on the bus or even better stick it in a pannier sack
on the back of my pushbike.  It's jazz so the sound needs to be clean.  It
would also be useful to be able to use it to go busking using some
Aebersolds or whatever as backing tracks.  On the picture I couldn't see an
input for a line in from an mp3 player - is there one or would I be able to
put that through the other socket?

 

Thanks
