I do about 80 gigs a year. I find this amp fine for most things I do like 3 pc group in a restaurant or country club. Its perfect with an archtop.
When with my 5 piece band we hang an SM57 fron the handle.
The amp is pleanty loud and very easy to control the tone, but best of all ....its truly portable!
I must say that my venue is the jazz of the 30s to rock n Roll of the 60s.
Don't be concerned with the volume they always say its too loud never too soft.
