                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[That looks like a real amp!  I'm going on the cheap since I got a full PA to use.  If I were spending that kind of cash I certainly would look at that one.  Battery operation to boot!  It is stereo, that is a plus.  It has 2 chanels so you can add a microphone.  Reverb and chorus!  Ambience to give a 3D effect.  A phrase looper........ could be a one person show with this.  That is way more amp than the one I ordered.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Nice price and good features TR!  I didn't add my two cents, but I agree with acoustic amps.  I think that the idea of a powered monitor is better, more flexible later on.  Personally, I had a Behringer which was good, but very mass produced, and I never kept it long enough to assess its longevity.  I only intended to have it while awaiting a good deal on a Fender Acoustasonic - they impressed me pretty much, and so does the name "Crate" - there was a green one at a Pawn Shop  $99 - it was this Cimarron.  <a href="http://www.crateamps.com/products/pindex.php?prodID=35">http://www.crateamps.com/products/pindex.php?prodID=35</a>  But it didn't hold up to Crate's original standards from back in the day.  Or... where's the features?<br><br>Pawn Shop searches brought me to my Roland Cube 20X;  I couldn't turn it down, and when I got it home, it sounded better than the Behringer to me, but without a microphone jack.  It had more FX and power, making clarity.  The back end is closed of course. I actually didn't need a mic and that's unusual - I guess that you and most others do?  I sold the Behringer anyway.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Well essentially you have an acoustic amp then Roy.  Your keyboard/PA is essentially the same thing.  From what I have read and been advised, (thanks Mich) the speaker in a regular guitar amp colors the sound in a favorable way for electric guitar as does the amp itself.  An acoustic amp is hi fi with clean sound reproduction.  Just like a PA or keyboard amp.  No go at the local music store.  Rip off prices.  $200 for a Crate that is $150 in Musicians Friend.  Didn't even ask if they wanted my amp in trade.  Had a wall of used amps including the head I traded last year for my Ibanez ART.  $200 marked down to $180.  (They gave me $100 for it)   :roll:   I decided to just order one.<br><br>Here is what I ordered:<br><br><a href="http://img3.musiciansfriend.com/dbase/pics/products/regular/4/8/9/571489.jpg"><img src="http://img3.musiciansfriend.com/dbase/pics/products/regular/4/8/9/571489.jpg"></a><br><br>15 watts, 8" speaker, wedge design, chorus and most important a line out.  Perfect for practice or small rooms as is and plug it into the PA and use it as a monitor when we get our drummer and rock the world.<br><br>Oh! .................... $99]]></content:encoded>

It's a bit redundant if you already have a PA, but if you want the smaller size and portability, go for it.   Genz Benz has some nice ones with 10" speakers.  Also, a powered monitor (e.g., JBL EON) would be similar, and maybe more versatile.]]></content:encoded>
