It's loud enough for a live concert o gig in a bar?

Ive been gigging with my AC15 for a while now and it really depends. It's much easier to transport but I'm getting AC30 soon so it cuts through the mix better

Unless you are playing in a touring band that does shows to audiences 500 plus or desire to lose your hearing at an early age, the AC15 is all you need. Sure AC30's are legendary, but this thing breaks up at a lower volume and delivers a warm tone without deafening your audience at smaller venues. It's easier to carry around as well. Any decent venue mics your amp anyway. This is an excellent little workhorse amp for the price. Be forewarned the reverb is not anything special.

this thing can put out like a 100watt solid state. it will be more than loud enough :)

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.

Very much so! And larger gigs ALWAYS mic up the amps, so volume is really never a problem.

Well if you live with room-mates who would prefer some peace of mind this is what you might be aiming for but if you like your music really loud, you'd be better off looking for something more powerful. This worked for me and is plenty loud.

It would be okay but I'd say you should find a music mic for live music... this one is more for open filming.

Probably not strong (loud) enough for a bar. Maybe a low key coffee house with 50 or less people and under 1,000 sq ft.

@ +12db you will hear some noise, but for live work it's acceptable> I would not use it for studio post production mix downs. Hope this was helpful.

I never tested to see how loud it could get, but the louder i made it go, the worse it sounded. you should be able to hear it withinn 10-20 ft. w/o any issues; you just might not like what you hear. I purchased it for music; sports or news may be OK.

It's definitely loud enough and you can pick a song/tune/sound that will make it louder. I'm quite hard of hearing and chose one that yells and I can hear it throughout the house (3200 sf). I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

Yes it will be loud enough. Good little speaker but does not have Bose Quality sound. But still very good sould for little speaker

Ummm.. It is defnitely loud enough for an apartment.. My apartment is just about 900 sqft.. But if you have huge spaces and you want the sound everywhere perhaps something additional will suit you..

That really depends on the size of your venues and how much other amp and PA gear it has to work alongside. Personally I gig with this all time - bars and small concert hall types of venues - and it kicks out s lot of sound. 5 piece band with all the setup that entails - and together with the Behringer head I use to power it, the Seismic is more than suitable for me.

It has a nice full sound, not super loud... Should be fine, it's louder than it's size indicates... Don't expect high volumes

Yes, for the price this bar cannot be beat, I have listened to expensive ones and cheap ones and this bar is great. If you like HUGE amounts of bass that rattles the windows you need to spend more.

Not if you are playing by yourself or with other acoustic (un-amplified) instruments in your average living room. It's at least as loud as any other acoustic guitar. There is no pickup inside. For playing on stage to a larger audience, I've seen a few musicians with an instrument mike (Shure SM57 or equiv) pointed towards the center of the body.

That depends entirely on what you're playing and who you're playing with. Are you playing solo? Then yes, this would be a good complement to your 20 watt head in a gymnasium. Are you playing something quieter with a drummer, bassist, and singer? Then probably yes, this will likely suffice. Are you playing lead guitar in a rock group and you need to be heard above everybody else while not mic'd up? Then no, this and your head are not loud enough for your needs. I played un mic'd in a gymnasium size room with 1x12 50 watt combo and this as an extension and it was just barely loud enough.

If he plays for a crowd, not really. It's good for practicing and playing with friends but definitely not powerful enough to put on a concert. You would need a higher watt amp.

I use it for a dance classroom at gym for about 100 people. If the 300 are just speaking/lecture kinda activity it would, i doubt it would work if its a loud crowd - NOTE: you also need a decent enough amp

Probably will work just fine. I wouldn't play an arena rock show with it, but in a cafe or other small space, no problem.
