In a bar jam situation as long as you can cut through the mix you're good to go. With two or three guitars, a bass, and a drummer every other guitar I've used has been good to go plugged into a PA. It surprised me how poor the LL16 sounded plugged in directly but the problem is fixed now. Can't wait to try the Venue with my Larrivee L-42 at an open mic.
