I wanted to post this as a separate post- but I play out a lot in rooms that are amp-only sound (jams and small venues) gigs- where the PA is only used for vocals- no amp mic-ing (how in the world do you spell that?) just a live mix from the stage between musicians.
Because of my terrible recent experience at one of these venues going direct to the PA, I'm interested in what people are using for light and portable powered speakers that I can set up behind me (no monitors when nothing is mic'd up) so I can actually hear my guitar- loud enough for a band mix in a medium sized standard bar-type venue but not so big and heavy that I'm lugging 80lb powered speakers or anything like that. If it gets too heavy I might as well just bring an amp- I'm trying to lighten my rig with the AX8 and get all the great tones I'm getting at home- just louder and simpler. At home I go through a board- live I won't any more- too little control of that mix (or lack thereof).
Thanks!
