Nothing had been moved or changed in any way. I’ve played a show in the afternoon and been totally elated with the tone I got, then came back two hours later to play a second show and I hated the tone I got. The room you’re playing in makes a difference. It depends on what style of music you’re playing, the limits of your equipment and your own personal tonal preferences. Use your ear, your imagination and know what fits your budget. There are many options out there and different ways of going about this. Some guys are opting for self-powered speakers and they’ll use a preamp with them. If budget it not a concern, a tube preamp with a solid state power amp in a rack with a rack mounted effects processor can sound good. You’ll find the XLR output on the back of the Peavey 112. However, understand there are situations where they demand that you go directly into the sound board. Going direct out through an XLR doesn’t give me the sound of the speaker. I personally like the sound of a miked speaker better because I want the sound of the speaker with my tone. Newer amps also have an XLR output which enables you to run directly into the sound board. It makes it easier to insert more units in the effects chain. An effects loop reduces noise for one thing and the effects work cleaner. They don’t take up a lot of room on a small stage.įor those just getting started who may not know this, the Peavey has an effects loop in it which a lot of older amps don’t have. The size and weight of it allows a person to carry two amps if he so chooses. To me, dollar for dollar, the Peavey 112 can’t be beat. I like the sound of the lows and low mids of a tube amp. Personally I like the sound of the highs and high mids of a solid state amp. We had someone ask about the best amplifier for a steel guitar. I play the Day setup, have for fifty plus years and don’t see any reason to change. If you’re already playing the Jimmy Day setup and are comfortable with it, by all means stick with it. All our guitars on the floor are setup the Emmons way. That way, if you sit down behind somebody else’s guitar, it’s most likely you’ll be able to play it without any problems.
I would recommend that anyone starting out use the Emmons setup because nine out of ten players use it. In truth, they’re just two different ways to get to the same place. I’ve been asked to compare the advantages and disadvantages between the Emmons and Day setups. This is Bob Hempker with today’s newsletter and some answers to questions we’ve received through emails.
