Re: [Harp-L] Portable P.A. amp?

[hashbb@xxxxxxx]

 I have a Carvin AG100D Acoustic/PA amp. 
I is really portable(around the size of a small bass combo amp),
and fairly light(maybe weighs as much as a fender deluxe amp).
It features a 12" woofer and a titanium high frequency tweeter
with adjustable L-pad on the crossover. It has three channels;
Channel one and two have 1/4" inputs with three and two band active tone controls
respectively, and channel three features an XLR and 1/4" jack for
microphone or cd/tape input. it also features a 24 bit digital effects
processor and a 5 band EQ, and a master volume. Compact cabinet with
a hole in the bottom for a cabinet stand. You can play harp, guitar, or bass,
and have a microphone too, with effects. Best yet, it goes for around 
$450.00 with cover. A friend of mine turned me on to these, and this is 
my second one(first one was stolen). Nice on a low volume gig or in 
a smaller room.

Subject: [Harp-L] Portable P.A. amp?










I have had good luck with the Fender 1270P Powered 10 2-Way Stage/Performance 
Monitors, powered monitors that I bought to use with my PA.? I now own two.? 
They are small, light, and 100watts.? They have line and XLR in as well as 
volume and tone, and if used with a PA have line in and out that allow control 
from the PA and chaining the two.? 

I have used them one at a time, or sometimes chained at gigs.? With a small 
mixer and both speakers, you have a mini PA.? I have played gigs with a single 
one without a mixer, (though I usually use one of my tube amps mic'ed to the PA 
for gigs).? I even used one to reinforce a small tube amp with an 8" speaker to 
play a moderately loud gig.? 

I have sometimes used a vocal mic or Fireball V to the XLR,? I have used a 
digitech Genesis 1 with the FireballV through a transformer to the line in, and 
on another occasion I used a Bad Monkey pedal with a delay in the line in 1/4" 
input with a Hi-Z Shure 585V.? All these sounded good through the 1270P.? I once 
had one in the trunk of my car when playing with a guitar player at a coffee 
house, and the PA at the venue died.? Our act and another act (guitar duo) 
played the gig through one monitor and a small mixing board to the line in.? 

I love these things!
