-Phil,
Yeah it was plenty loud and way boomy when I watched the video
latter.we played a backyard party and the drums were anatural(no PA)
And the Mix was pretty good.
Definetly want a dual Showman or something comparable in wattage
when I break down and get a real amp soon.
It was cool to meet and see your band. Really like the 2nd cd alot.
Talk to ya latter,
Jeff(bigtikidude)
