I did own the previous generation of Stagemate and liked it quite a bit. I never had the chance to compare it to the AER.

There should be one company that makes one product that is the go-to standard for touring performers who play the guitar and sing! Not a ton of companies that make a ton of products that come sort of close but are always missing the mark! It seems like there is a whole in the market right now. Quote:
I would gladly trade in the VoiceSolo for what I've been describing: something a little bit bigger that sounds better and could fill a small venue on its own. But that something would have to do what the VoiceSolo can do: be mounted on a stand and tilt at a couple different angles to be a good monitor. Oddly, nothing like that seems to exist!

I am sticking with Matt's desire for one Do-it-all solution. Sure, some would not want to pay the price for such a unit. Some might think its overkill and why pay for options they don't use, or at least for now. So I think we are talking about us who gig a couple of times per month or more and want premium tone with the onboard options to supply that tone which includes what has previously been mentioned in this thread. I can easily, right now, imagine such a unit and if I had the funds and know how, could build it. Not too hard. Might cost two grand but it would be what many of us want. The rest of the guitar players and vocalists might be happy with less expensive, less quality and fewer options than those of us who I am part of. One is sure not better than the other. No way. A guy or woman with a beat up old Harmony guitar with a cheap old beat up amp with no effects might have more fun than myself and enjoy their music to the max. I started there in 1967.

Each player/duo/ensemble will prefer certain sound reinforcement solutions over others based on whatever factors are important to them.
For me (solo fingerstyle, no vocals), I'm content with a mini-PA made up of high quality components and the knowledge of how to use them. |

SO for my tastes this is my "Go to" front end
SKB rolling rack with; Monster 2500 power conditioner Langevin (by Manley Labs) DVC combo hi end 2 channel analog mic pres/DI ...EQ...Limiter TC Electronics M3000 digital studio reverb processor Run this into either a good two channel amp and a pair of oh Say.... Daedalus 803's and you will have a great system . Or skip the amp and something like a pair of powered Line 6 stage source speakers Point of interest they don't make the DVC But two grand $ will get ya started on another great sounding mic pre ,something like say a Pendulum Audio SPS-1 ..Then another two grand will get ya the reverb and the power conditioner. Then speakers are a bit under $3000, the amp maybe another $500 Sure some might not want to pay the price for such a system, but if you are after premium tone .. Well then figure $6k to $10k would be a good start.

Yes, we all might need/want different things but the list of the basics really isn't that long. Yet it seems like all of the products we've discussed here are missing one or more of the basics. Why?! How many different ways are there to use an acoustic amp? Three: 1) mounted on a stand, 2) sitting upright on the floor/table/counter and 3) tilted back as a monitor. How many channels does a singer/guitar player need? Two: ideally that accept both 1/4" and XLR with 3 band EQ plus a master volume. This isn't rocket science and these aren't my super weird, quirky criteria! Add a DI out, make it small enough to be portable yet enough to fill a small venue and I think this would appeal to a large group of people. Yet this product doesn't seem to exist. So many are so close. That seems weird to me. That's all. Matt |

I think you're right about this. The closest I came to your criteria is the Line 6 L2t. But, it's very heavy at 40 lbs. I was hoping they would release an 8" speaker version, or their own line array. Have you tried an L2t? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

But clearly companies like AER realize that people want multiple configurations. They demonstrated that by making the Slope 60. But then they leave off the stand mount! QSC realized that people wanted more options with the little K8 so now the K8.2 can easily tilt back as a wedge monitor. I know the K8 and the 8.2 are not supposed to be stand alone amps but with just a couple tweaks they could be. Bose heard the requests for a smaller, more portable L1 system so they made the Compact. No master volume. So companies are tweaking products to give users more options and more versatility so why not just add the missing features? Is it so we have to buy/use more gear? Matt |

The Baggs Synapse came to mind for me too. $2,000 for a speaker seems outrageous. But, if it works, we'll all end up selling our stuff and buying one. :-). Someone (not me this time) needs to take one for the team. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Acus (company from former workers of SR tech) make a JAM 150 that is tillable with me extra accessory.
Acus forstrings Cremona. It s for Spanish guitars but I am pretty sure there was an acus 8 (jam150) version few years ago There is one in the shop where I ve tried the HK nano 600. In France, you can find those everywhere...
