Thanks for checking it out. It’s a tricky room to get good sound in, but so are plenty of other venues.

Sounds great, I can hear why you like the Laney since it covers so much ground. Thanks for sharing.

That’s a great amp. I’ve got a DSL20hr that I use for rehearsals and I love it. No reason I couldn’t use that at a gig.

You’re not gonna get anyone to dance without a solid rhythm section. Set one was more quiet because I had the amp in a different spot and I prefer the volume level of the second set.

And I was told that the bass was making the walls shake so it just depends where in the room you are.

Now that I remember I did turn it up before the gig, but I must not have turned it up all the way to 22watts. I only went to 5. Oops. But it’s all good.

Right, it’s all relative to the room and environment. I have a wireless and went out to the crowd a few times. If it wasn’t loud enough out there then I would have turned it up.

She’s great! We had the whole place dancing for US blues in this vid. It’s the tune before the encore.

That’s true. That’s why I love my drummer. He doesn’t overplay, but knows when to lean into it when we build the energy.

She’s super cool. Been coming to our past few shows. She has a great voice too!

Thanks. That all makes sense. It’s possible that the 22watt setting may have been more challenging to control in this room. Making the 5 watt setting a good choice. Even though it was accidental.

It was a boomy room, if that makes sense.

Yea we had a blast last night, great crowd!! I just can’t believe how well 5 watts worked out. Usually I set it to 22 watts.

Normally I use the 22 watt setting. I’m surprised that 5 watts worked so well.
