What setup would you recommend for an acoustic duo (two guitars) where one also sings and one doesn't? Small venues, living rooms, possibly restaurants/cafe, think 20 people max. Want to keep the equipment versatile and compact. Should handle harmonica as well. Both guitars use piezo undersaddle pickups, so no mics there.
I used to own the Roland AC60 acoustic chorus - not loud but it handles vocals well IMO. The problem was putting vocals and guitar through it at the same time - got a bit flubby at times when turned up. Is the bigger Roland AC90 a good option?
Would you have guitarist 1 and 2 each have their own amp? Or one PA, DI boxes for guitars and a small mixer? What about vocals?
May start something in the next coming months but would like to know what to budget for.
I like the idea of using two Fishman SA220's -- that allows each guitarist his own amp and also allows for stereo effects on the voice. Has anyone got any experience with these? The bose systems are definitely out of the budget -- well that and I do not like the bose company much anyway.
And possibly one of these? The Fishman Aura Spectrum DI will be a nice addition because it will let you go into any house system and still have some control over your tone.
What vocal mic would be a good idea for small intimate setups? I like a vintage vocal sound.
The small PA's seem very expensive and a little over the top if you dont do big venues. Or am I wrong?
