we don't need rest!!
I've got a new gig at a church playing guitar. It is a fairly large church in a room for about 500 people. There is a decent sound system, but ONLY the mics for the vocalists (about 10) and the keyboards(and sequencers, etc.) are run thru the PA. (the keyboards are far more the dominant instrument and play pretty much thru the whole service). The bass, drums and guitar will only be heard thru the stage amps.
I will be using an acoustic guitar, a strat thru a J-station/POD, and another guitar thru a Roland GR33.
My question; ..wadda you think about using a small PA?.... for a full range sound, VS using a guitar amp. I want to run stereo, and need the full range sound for the guitar synth and the acoustic. I also really prefer using something like the J-station too for the variety it offers and am satisfied with the sound I get with it also.
Has/does anyone else use a PA for a situation like this over using a guitar amp? My guitar synth pretty much sounds pretty poor thru just my regular amps, ...and pretty much the same for the J-station/POD.
I'm talking about a pair of full range PA speakers, a small 100 watt amp and a little mini mixer...or a small powered mixer. I don't need to worry about carrying this stuff around as I will set it up and leave it. Running thru the main PA at this point is NOT preferred, as with the keys and ALL the vocal mics, I feel that is about what it can handle ....and I'd actually prefer NOT to send a stereo signal at this point too, from the stage.
wadda ya all thnk?
