How is this cajon jamming outdoors?

Haven't had much of a chance to play outdoors. Too much snow but indoors in a large room it does the trick. My daughter, 10 years playing percussion, loves it.

I would think, from my view and experience, that it would work fine for busking....hope it works as well for you as it has for me. One band I play in has a member that plays bass and guitar alternately though the amp while at an outside pub (which requires a bit of punch by itself) but this is vacation land at the outside patrons are a bit noisy and it seems to work fine. Don't know that I'd trust it to work where the crowd was larger or noisier. I wish I could give you a better gauge...but that's about as good as I can come to telling you from personal use how it's worked.

The adjustment wrench needs to be removed from its storage hole inside the cajon and used on the two allen screws on the bottom of the cajon between the front feet. Each screw tightens or loosens one side of the bar that the strings are mounted to.

I use it to play jazz and it's pretty good for that. I've also plugged a keyboard into it. I normally plug a humbucker guitar into the -15dB input. Throw a decent compressor or a tube preamp in front and it warms it up a bit but keeps a good clean tone. It's nice because I often play both bass and guitar and can get by with just one amp. The really sturdy closed back cabinet means that it's got some authority. I wouldn't use it for rock, though, as the tone wouldn't be good

The back cover screws have to come out to access the battery compartment. Not as convienent as some, but rugged with no battery door that can break off. The output does not have enough power to support headphones. Buy a Vox Amplug guitar battery powered headphone amp and plug into the output of the JamMan. It will support headphones and comes in several "sound flavors" and is less than $50. You can plug the guitar into several pedals ahead of the the JamMan and listen via the Amplug and not disturb anyone while your rock out! The JamMan is an excellent digital recorder that is very easy to use. It has everything you need and nothing your don't. Highly recommended!

Sorry we are anchored in mexico and don't always have wifi. I think it would be ideal for busking. It has a tone that sounds way bigger and fuller than it has any right to. I have a single humbucker and it can growl through the little amp.

I have friends that own the other buffalo drums and always admired how they did not get loose in humid weather, but when i heard this drum, I was sold. I have only had it for 6 months, but I do not think it does require any tuning. it is solid and made with two synthetic heads instead of one to give it deep boom base.

Sorry, but I don't really know. I plan to try mine for outdoor noises this summer in various locations. It probably will pick up not too distant noises. The times I have used it. It has been inside.

its sounds pretty good outside too. put it on the floor to increase bass-response and raise treble a bit (more treble on ipod EQ) to counteract the somewhat directional treble response. i had it turned up to the max, although at these levels it starts to distort slightly and the sound becomes a bit compressed, but you can still hear it from some hundred meters away and you won't notice distortion if you don't stand very close to it. i even had it cranked up on a beach and everyone was turning around where the sound was coming from, as they couldn't see it as small as it is. i also have an altec lansing imt800 which has more bass and an overall fuller sound, but near maximum level both sound similar (the altec reduces bass at higher volume) and the sounddock is even slightly louder. as the sounddock portable is really small i think it is the perfect party-machine even for outside. at normal listening levels you can expect about 10-12 hours of playing time from one charge. at maximum volume it will play for 2-4 hours.

Yes, I've played mine many times outside and it does fine. It all depends on how many people. Good for 20 to 30 though. I really enjoy mine.

It's got Audio Tap, which is achieved by strumming the guitar as opposed to tapping with your foot. Check out the Users Guide for the pedal, should provide more details. Happy playing!

It is a very well known guitar. I did a lot of research first. My son figured out Rocksmith is a bit of work, so he isn't playing as much as he thought he would.

hmmmmm........good question..............I honestly haven't used it much as we were at the end of the season for playing outdoor venues when I purchased it. We are playing tonight and I plan to set it up..................I can check that out.

I play guitar, (and weigh 300) and rock side to side a lot when I play. I use the highest setting. I don't tend to go back and forth that much, but it feels solid in all 4 directions, after being used over a dozen times on stage. Down the road it may loosen up, but not so far. (The little rubber feet need to be glued on though, they 'walk' off every time I pack it away with other gear). So far, i'm happy.

Mine has played beautifully, right out of the box for two years. No seasonal adjustments or anything. At this point, I'd be afraid to touch the truss rod, lest I break the magic spell.

It's acoustic. I added the same Martin t4 Pre-Amp ($23) that I put on my AJ-100/CE with the same fantastic results. Also, the nut & bridge are soft plastic which I replaced both with Graph Tech TUSQ($18). See my review on the AJ-100/CE. After careful saddle fitment it now sounds & plays fantastic. (All you need is mechanical and/or basic woodworking skills). Pre-amps are far better than transducers or piezo's wired to a jack. (i.e. my AJ-100/CE).

Got almost three years out of mine, outside on the patio, weather exposed before some of the strings started to break.Everyday sleeping might be a bit much.
