Looking at starting an Acoustic night for local musicians.

How it'll work is they turn up and play at a local venue and I'll video them for the YouTube. Then pass the hat for "donations" to the musician for their time. Yes I know the musicians should be paid but times are hard along with them getting video from it as payment and use of the gear.

It'll be High Def video with audio recorded onto the camera via the Rode Stereo Videomic. Looking to upgrade the camera mic to the new Rode Stereo Videomic X coming out soon.

Been looking at buying a small amp with enough power to be heard by around 50 people and a PA is not required at the moment.

Been looking at the Fishman Loudbox Artist (120w) or Fishman Loudbox Performer (180w) as they both tick the boxes of having 2 channels and small enough to move about while having a bit of power.

Believe in keeping it as simple to get the cleanest acoustic sound possible.

Anyone used any of these?

Any recommendations?

Replies appreciated folks.

A few interesting alternatives to the single amp idea.

I'll have a think about it and will be visiting the local music shop on Friday to see Amps and PA's including Bose L1 that I've used previously.

Also like the idea of a line out recording to another device.



Not local to where you are in Englandshire as I'm in a currently not Independent Scotland but we're working on that! ;-)
