Busking surprise

[FusedGrooves]

The TX50 looks pretty decent. Doesn't look like it has the fx loop though. I'm going to take my pedal board in and plug into a few options one of which doesn't have the fx loop so I guess I will have to wait to answer some of these questions...

FusedGrooves, cool stuff, that you've found this can be a fun and profitable outlet for you.

I'm surprised you're having so much trouble with drum popping and can only guess you're running something pretty sophisticated or powerful. I use 2 different acoustic amphs, each with 2 channels, one with a 1/4" AND XLR for a variety of input options. I'll then find a drum track on my Boss RC2 looper, lay down a bass track, then an acoustic guitar progression, or electric rhythm progression. Then I usually plug my electric into an electric guitar amph and practice lead work. I have run the electric through a multi effects pedal and through the same acoustic amp, and it sounds pretty good. Occasionally, I'll get pretty loud and turn the acoustic amph with drums and all up. Popping has never been a problem. Now, it's not the greatest sound quality as far a drums go, that's for sure. The acoustic amphs are a Marshall AS50D and the Fender Acoustisonic 30. The Marshall has an effects loop, and takes pedals pretty well. No battery options however. I use them both at open mics often, run vocals as well as acoustic guitars through them, and they are plenty loud.

HTH. I wouldn't take the sales persons word for too much (cynicism showing) bring your rig and try gear out. Good luck.
