few years ago, our acoustic guitarist at church used a CPX. not sure if it was a CPX10 or CPX15 though. it was blue sunburst and made in either malaysia or indonesia i cant remember very well. but the sound out the PA is as good as it gets. very sweet and natural sounding. it had the barndoor preamp and connected straight to PA via DI. unplugged though i think its sound was just decent. im not a fan of the mini-jumbo size of the compass line though. and when you buy a new compass (CPX500/700/900 line) here in Philippines, the yamaha store dont have a case that fits. they tell you to buy one made to order from who knows where. major turn-off. go figure.
