no amps on stage

Joel DC

Our church just installed a new digital mixer and a new breaker box that finally got rid of a constant buzz that has been a source of unwanted noise for years. Anyway ,after getting a pile of MM amps, we are going ampless. I,for one,do not like ampless (balless) but the out front sound is really good. I will prolly end up wearing headphones at some point for monitoring but I really miss being able to tune and noodle at low volume. I'm using a Tech 21 Flyrig5 into a H&K Redbox for going direct. While I have a "good" tone, I really miss an amp...but don't miss carrying one.
Still use a MusicMan for my gospel group though and nursing homes gigs.

Nope, would not like that, I need a knob or two to twist every now and then.
I never really liked being mic'd and having to play through a pa system either.

But that's just me..
