Maybe only 7 minutes for you, but that's a boatload of gear, and a heavy speaker.

Shiiiidddd, it’s worth it because this is what I do for a living and it sounds phenomenal. I have a rock n roller cart, and I only have two load ins that I have to ask for help with. Never have a problem. |

Agreed on both counts. I always use an EFX8 mixer with mine though.Mainly because I want to put the speaker where it will sound and cover best and not have to be tied to it.

My observation is some musicians want better sound but don't really want to commit or make changes to achieve it. I think there's a OCD quality, minus maybe the Dysfunction, to musicians that chase sound and tone. Many musicians bail when you mention $300 preamp; that's just scratching the surface and without vocal equipment. I see a lot musicians just plug right into a DI or the amp and are quite happy. Here on the forum we ask questions; debate argue merits and limits because we're seeking, not complacent. For posterity, in reference to the Op and some of the responses: I think this type product, like other arrays, fills a gap between a guitar/keyboard amp and full PAs. I play instrumental guitar solo, in a duo, and in a band. We used my partner's SA220 for years and have had great success with achieving great sound in a various venues. We've occasionally added a sub and or a extension depending what we desired, but those were rare and very large venues. My experience as a instrumentalist is the SoloAmp provides great sound and covers the tonal spectrum of acoustic guitar very well. It's dispersion fills rooms very nicely. Where it will show it's limits will be larger noisy rooms. IMHO It's not designed for that and a full PA is going to be optimum, which let's face it sounds great and is the better overall choice it you have the desire to haul equipment when the venue doesn't have a quality PA. FWIW how I got to the SA330: I started performing with a Schertler David, and after needing more power, used a DBR 10 as my solo rig. I also used the DBR as the extension when we need one in the bands. The DBR worked very well and has great tone. That said, it is no comparison considering transporting. Even though I made a small cart to fit the bag I bought for it, still no comparison. In addition the DBR was limited without a mixer, so there's one more thing to carry to optimize it.

$300 on a preamp isn't crazy at all. The OCD comment is pretty spot on for some, but the chase of tone is part of the fun. I definitely have been guilty of obsessing over nuances. Last edited by The Kid!; 12-08-2018 at 12:31 PM. |

Anyway, I find that kind of stuff interesting.

Hey all, just wondering if anyone uses an acoustic amp DI'd out to the SA330x?
I have a Boss Acoustic Singer Pro with individual outs on both channels. Could I use the amp as a monitor, allowing me to control the harmony and loop features, then plug each of the amps channels into the SA330x individual channels, or am I over thinking this?

I was about to say that you'd be better off with one top and a mixer.

For my last gig, I used my Boss Acoustic Singer Live as mixer/amp and
ran the 'mix' out to my Bose L1 Compact. It sounded great, and I could use the EQ on the ASLive. It basically replaced my VE8 + T1+ cables, and I didn't have to use the hidden EQ in the VE8. I cannot see why it would be different with the SA330x. |

Could someone please tell me how to plug a small mixer into the SA330? Thanks

If it were me, I'd just plug into the Aux In 1/4 inch input on the back of the unit (upper left area). I've read that this bypasses some other controls, notably the mute, but presumably your mixer has a mute button as well.
Here's a link to the SA330x manual https://www.fishman.com/wp-content/u...User-Guide.pdf Here's a link to a chat about this very subject--hopefully I'm linking to the second page where they bring up the SA330X as opposed to its predecessor. https://www.acousticguitarforum.com/...=212336&page=2 Good luck! |
