Wow. The band is getting together. We kicked out the jams. Then, I dang near threw my back out helping pack up the guy who brought over his amp with two 12's into my basement (I'm the drummer).
Meanwhile, I have my PA/disco system already down there: A very simple Audio-Technica mixer with two stereo RCA inputs and a 1/4" mic input; Soundcraftsmen 300W x 2 stereo amp, and Seleniumn coaxials, 95dB/W.
So, I'm gonna tell two of them to plug into line 1 and 2 (separate volume controls) and I might even be able to take another guitar into the mic input.
Why is everyone I talk to so skeptical of this?
Which is better: Mic or Line?
Should I look at some kind of CHEAP processor/guitar pre-amp to go between guitar and mixer? They already bring these pedals and stuff.

So, it won't sound the same but it will make sound? - Ben 06:46:57 09/14/05 (1)
