All the experience you can stand. I use one-frequently. First, it comes with 2 mics, which I think are re-branded AKG's. I sold them on ebay for $40.00 each to cut my losses. The PA is what it is-250 watts. For me, a solo acoustic guy who does small gigs, it's perfect. and maybe a buddy. Biggest downside? Aside from it's only 250 watts, the EQ is really rudimentary, so you need to get your tone from somewhere else. It shows a monitor out, but using it eliminates one channel. So what I do is run the -10 tape outs to a line level shifter, converting to +4 line out, then to a small power amp, a Carver PM125, and run that out to a wedge monitor, which gives me a real monitor without kissing off a channel. It's also useful when I play bigger gigs or work with a full band. Instead of being a wussy 250 watt PA, it becomes a very good 250 watt acoustic guitar/keyboard amp with plenty of balls. So if you do solo gigs, or you need an acoustic amp with some versatility, it's very useful. I stand by the concept that 250 watts will not cut it for a band, except for small room practices. It's reliable, it sounds good, the onboard reverb is fair (not great). The EQ sucks, and otherwise I love it.-Richie
