Is this the right portable amp for singing and playing resonator blues (at the same time). I.E. mic and guitar...

I play harp using a bullet microphone through it and play my Fender Strat through it, and I am very please with both sounds. I never tried both at the same time but I am told there is a jack in the back. Is it for a second input? not sure, but I am sure there is tech info online regarding its use.

As far as I know, no. This is a portable, rechargeable, battery amp. Other than that, it functions just like a regular amp.

Shaun.....it does have two inputs. One in the front and one in the back...if that's what you're asking
1126161
I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for but it is a great amp. I sing and play the harmonica through it. I also added a reverb box in front of it to give it an even better sound. Sounds great without it though

Yes there are 2 inputs that can take a guitar and mic, two guitars, or any other combination. The sound is also pretty good for such a simple amp. It's primary selling point is that it is portable, but it is an awesome portable amp.

These are passive PA speakers so they require a power amp and mixer or a powered mixer to use them effectively. As for using with a band, it depends on what you are running through the system. If it is just a mic and an acoustic guitar then I would say these are fine for those needs. If we are talking about 2 or 3 mics, , keys, bass, guitar, or a full band setup like this, then these would probably not be sufficient and you would be better using something with a 12 or 15" woofer etc. I hope that helps!

no...This is good for a single acoustic guitar and a single mic in a smaller venue...actually it is most excellent for that. Any more than that, this not what you are looking for. I like to run it on stage as sort of my personal monitor and run the "record/output" to the PA for the mix. I am considering adding the Bose Tone Match mixer and a second L1 for a coffeehouse type duet. The single L1 does much better when it is out in front of you pointing back towards you.

Why not! Sounds like a perfect application. Like any other application, I would not plan to run this unit flat-out for long periods as you will likely run into reliability issues. This is not a high-end unit. I'm a gigging bass player and I've been using this with volumes set to about 8/10 for a couple of years now with no probs.

Yeah, this is primarily a stage amp. It sounds good at lower volumes but sounds amazing when cranked. It can play a decent sized bar without micing depending on your bandmates gear.

Since the amp has an xlr input for a microphone... yes the power supply will come in handy for a microphone that NEEDS PHANTOM power. If your mic is a condenser that doesn't have battery capability... it most likely needs phantom power. It would be rare that an amp in the category you are asking about would have phantom power available. A dynamic mic won't need phantom power and could be connected directly to the amp. A condenser mic that uses a battery won't need the power supply either. My question would be... why choose such an inexpensive "beginner" amp to use with a mic that would require phantom power (which is usually in a higher price/quality category)? Just a thought here... if you are capable of asking your question here... you are most likely capable of doing a bit of research yourself on the requirements of equipment. The manufacturers are usually very willing to help with information! Good hunting!!

No, but you will never get a quality sound running two inputs into the same amp. If you had another amp it would probably work fine. I use my practice amp for vocals when I do my personal practice and it works great.

it will sound good. louder than one might think. i love the little guy. i've had amps for way more $ and be equal or less than good. the el84 plus the 12x7 yadda yadda is the same as a Vox. A class too. sounds like a beatles amp, but raunchier. problems... the cheap ass plugs electric hook up thingsy is eggshellish. cut corners somehow i guess. if you can afford the speaker cab, i'd go for it. the speaker is voiced for the amp and breaks up when driven at the right time. lovely.

I have used the compact as a bass guitar amp for a Big Band rehearsal and it was fine, you'll see and hear if you're overloading it. It was also fine (on its own, no sub) when the bass guitarist in my 6 piece jazz band put his instrument through it when he forgot his 100 watt GK combo, this added to the piano and two vocal mics already using it in a medium sized pub You need to add your own tone shaping. Treat is as a high quality 50 watt combo and you'll be OK. It won't thump your chest that much, but you can line out to PA or to a subwoofer. I use a domestic 50 watt 8 inch sub if I need a little extra thump.

no, I checked on the peavey site to answer it for you, it is for acoustic, electric, or bass guitar. you would need a keyboard amp. did you want something for guitar and keyboard? you would probably need a bass amp if that's the case, but guitars don't sound that good through them, and they keyboard loses some of the high/treble sound through bass amps, I used one for my guitar and keyboard years ago, both didn't sound that good. depending on what you need it for, you should get 2 smaller amps, this thing is very very loud, I would get the larger amp of the one you use more, keyboard or guitar. if it's for live shows, they can mic the amp anyway, so technically you could have a really small amp, but with a mic and p.a. system or whatever, it would be as loud as all the other instruments

The amp was desigmed with the electric guitar in mind, but will amplify any instrument that has a built it pickup. you could use a microphone to feed the amp but you would have to deal with possible feedback depending on location of amp and mic.

Yes, the Mic will work fine with that microphone. This is a great little amp for use by a solo artist, i.e, acoustic guitar/vocals for a small venue like a coffee house (like I've done). For bigger venues, you can use the loudbox as a stage monitor, then feed out the back XLR to the main sound board.

No it can't,Barbara. The 1/4 input on the amp is for headphones only.Practice amps this small in general do not have the ability to receive a microphone.Performance amps do however have this capability.If however you intend to use specifically for vocals or external "micing" there is an adaptor that a 1/4 inch plug would fit into where the guitar would actually plug into.Hope I could help!!

quite an amazing tube amp. i can plug my acoustic to it and play on the clean channel or plug in my les paul through a pedal and go to town. the sound is clear and crisp if you want to sound that way or adjust the knobs to make it sound the way you want it to. i like to play the blues, but if you are into heavy metal, this amp can handle it. you can also switch the tubes for different sound affects. watch a few YouTube videos on it. hope this helped.

There's only one input so I guess technically you could. If you wanted to use it as a small PA you would have to go into Fender Fuse and make a very clean amp model. It has only a guitar cord input though so you would need an adapter to go from a microphone plug to a guitar plug. I can't help but think there would be a better amp to use as a small PA. Maybe a Fishman Loudbox that has an acoustic guitar input as well as a microphone input.

No, this is meant to be used with a Microphone as a preamp. It's not an amp for use with other audio equipment.

If you have the proper line in cable, sure. I can not comment on the quality as a vocal amp, only as a bass amp. There are better alternatives to vocal amps out there, a lot of people use Keyboard amps as vocal amps and they seem pretty happy with it. Best of luck.
