So I thought I would share this pa nightmare.
I played a gig on Saturday night at street cafe in Edenvale to quite a decent sized crowd, about 80 people.
We usually just mic up 2 guitar amps and the vocals and leave the drums and bass. To our dismay we rocked up to a PA that just didn't want to work.
Finally I got fed up and so just decided to run the vocals through the other guitarists 100 watt solid state amp.
Good thing I always bring my laney cub 10 as a spare so the second guitar went through that and I went through my Ibanez TSA.
It was a pretty garage band style setup and despite no one in the band being able to hear themselves or each other I actually got one or two complements on the sound.
Particularly the clarity of the vocals.
The cub surprisingly filled the whole room when put at the front of the stage and we play pretty loud blues and rock.
Turned out to be a fun show but I still went to order some wharfdale titan 15 active speakers so this doesn't happen again. ?
