yeah it's very different here. you'd be hard pressed to find a church without a full band, unless they are a denomination that doesn't believe in music in the church (Church of Christ, for instance)Couple of things seem alien to me reading this thread. Firstly anyone playing an electric guitar in a church. Athough I did know a guy who played a gig in a church once with his Pink Floyd tribute band (also accompanied by some strings). Seems like a nice idea in theory, but by all accounts it was horrendous. Unless you like cavernous reverb. I suppose US churches are more modern buildings with electricity and heating etc. Secondly, the venue having enough money to splash out on some posh amps for the performers to use. I can't speak for all UK churches as a non-religious type, but I've been in a church or two for various events, and I'm sure you have to bring your own candle so you can see where you're planning to sit and slowly freeze to death. And there certainly won't be any entertainment.
I'd say, let them get the Matchless amps, you could take your axe with a couple of presets set up for 4CM, Cab sims off, I'd think that would work a treat.
we typically have drums, bass, 2 keys players, acoustic and 3 electric...plus 3-5 singers.
