THANKYOU HEAPS for that info - E X A C T L Y what I was hoping ....! It was meant to be just a thread about my experience busking for the first time, I wanted to wait until I'd busked for the 2nd time to make sure it wasn't a fluke so I guess earning more than the first time answered that! I probably mentioned it my OP but it's not a money making excercise for me, more that I lose some of my magic somehow playing in front of ppl so I figured busking would hopefully cure me of that but posting up made me think of the question about amps....Originally Posted by Spudman
That's such a great story. Way to go. I would have been shaking too, and I play out a lot. I've just never gone solo. You got cajones.
Some of the solo guys I've seen over here use a small PA and modelers. 2 1x12 or 1x15 cabinets with horns on stands and an all in one PA head. You can probably score all that for what you can get out of the Delta. Don't sell it cheap. Those are worthy amphs. All you'd need is a 'character' pedal or your ME50 along with your looper and you should be good to go. Better fidelity. You could even go compact with the PA head and one cabinet, or better yet a keyboard amp. Those will handle the wide frequency range you need.
Good on ya mate.
If anyone has any recommendations about amps/PA/modelers etc etc I'm all ears I have very little experience with the gear side of things even though I now own some pretty decent gear.....still learning so much about such a wide variety of all things musical!
I'll look to purchase some kind of new amp/mini PA over the next week or so or as soon as I can learn more about it to make the decision..! The Delta isn't my amp, just a loaner which I could've bought but since it sounds worse than the Marshall when using my looper (with drums and bass it distorts badly otherwise a great little 2x10 I am too used to the 4x12s in the Marshall such a great tone from a cheap SS amp again a big surprise ti should be used for the Metal guys I guess.....) but the Marshall is obviously WAY to big for use on a footpath LOL........back to the drawing board ! I may or may not sell the Marshall, I'm not fond of selling gear these days.....
Hahahaha thnx mate...!! Although I was using my Yamaha SA2200 (not the Ibanez) for the busking gigs so these days my guitar is closely aligned to the music I now play....|The Ibanez was great for the music I used to play and even when the music changed I still found it a great sounding guitar, esp with the ME50 which isn't the best but good enough.
The Yamaha now really sets it off, however I was and still am very nervous about using a $3000 guitar in public! Shhhhh better not tell anyone what it's worth!
Thanks again, appreciate the comments esp when I haven't posted any of my music for ppl here to make their own minds up.....one day it will come and should be easier than it has been so far, if ONLY I could export my drums beats of my RC-50 looper! Not even the Boss rep could answer me that....
