help me decide

[badassmak]

I'm looking at two cheapo powered mixers, used, and am torn to pieces trying to decide which to get;

Also I have no valuable knowledge as to what it all means (in the mixing monitoring world).

A) Peavey MP-4
B) Crate PA-4 (50$ less)

I believe they are both rated at 60 Watts 4 ohms...

Probably more to the point this will be used to power my vocals through a Fender floor monitor (100 Watts 8 Ohms) so am I going to have trouble with this (ie not enuff juice to pound the sound thru?)

Im not worried about awesome sound here, I just want to hear myself at our jam/rehearsals, currently I'm micing thru a wee feedback monster of a practise guitar amp...

Any thoughts and input is greatly appreciated.

If you don't care about the Fender box, then pick either one. The low (under) wattage is guaranteed to fry your Fender box in a couple of months, especially if your band is loud.

If you just want a momentary solution, go for it.
And save to invest in a good PA in a year or so.
