As for me I'm still over the moon with the Roy and I can't see ever going back to a traditional PA. As far as PA on sticks you can keep them the Roy sounds much better. I've played outdoor patios, clubs and ballrooms with the Roy and I never felt like it wasn't enough. I did end up using a powered speaker plugged into the Roy for one outdoor gig where the audience was spread out and it worked great There was a thread about using amps for PA's and how powered speakers are superior because of their size and wattage capacity but the thing about the Roy is it is the size of a powered speaker and has the power to match. |

I have a pair of Bose S1 Pro powered speakers for just that purpose. What did you use and why?

I used one of my JBL PRX12s. It was a celebration of life on an outdoor deck but they opened up an pretty big area to the side and brought in tables and chairs because they expected a lot of people. The Roy handled the deck and the other speaker handled the other seating area

Ah, Roy... So I played at a wedding a couple of weeks ago. I previously used Bose L1 and then downsized to a Bose Compact. Both are/were incredible and I miss certain aspects of them. But... Roy cut through about 150 people in a courtyard while maintaining his "dignity". The sound was never forced and maintained its warm even when I had things at fairly high levels. FYI, on that day (a 95 degree day in the San Francisco Bay Area), I played my Taylor 414 FLTD Nylon with an older ES2. I utilize Channel 7 and enable the "warmth" mode. It works very well with nylon guitars! I forgot my amp stand so here is how my setup looked!

I have gone through both the full L1 and the compact as well. Like you, I liked them both. I just prefer the convenience of a single box. I wouldn't want to do it without the stand though.

Hi guys I'm on the fence between the Roy, the Baggs Synapse and the Evox Jmix8.
I tend to like column arrays for their huge low end and envelopping sound, due to the wide dispersion I guess. I just had a gig with a Maui 11 G2 and my voice sounded amazing, I've got deep lows that where shaking people's bodies for the better. I remember the L1c doing the same effect on voices in particular : big, flattered fat voice. And a sensation to be immersed with sound. Now, will the Roy give me these same effects? I've read many good points about the low end, about the dispersion but does it match the good column-array types? The Evox Jmix8 is about the same weight as the Roy but doesn't need to be lifted up... has a great mixer and app... and sounded amazing when I streamed music via bluetooth. Anybody could compare the two? Then there is the Synapse... but the price is really up the roof. I have a sweet deal on a Jmix8 at the moment, I'd like to be sure I'm not missing something out with the Roy. Thanks ! |

As far as the vocals the Roy is very transparent. I'm picky about my vocals and the Roy sounds like me, not boxy like so many other acoustic amps but full and clean. I would also recommend a pole mount and a small speaker stand. The good news is there's a lot of good options out there you just have to pick the system with the features that are important to you. Good luck on your journey |

I was worried about room coverage and dispersion when I bought my Roy, but I have found it to be excellent. From posts I've read on this forum, I believe it is the consensus Amon Roy and Jam 400 owners.
Having said that, putting a speaker stand mount on the bottom to us with a short speaker stand really helps. |

how does it do with a KK mini? does the onboard mixer shape the sound enough or is a floor preamp needed?

Depends on the guitar and the K&K install.

Preamp or at a minimum a di box. |

I don’t have the Roy, I have the Jam 400, and if all I have is my K&K guitar, my Jam, and a cable, I can still get a very good sound.
