I have one ,
¿
Who's got one here in the forum , how do you use it and where , as in
Negative side :
I've had it about 6 months , on the 91st. day I lost the screen and turn on ,
shipping I ate because it was one day out of the 90 day free return shipping
policy:argh:
Plus side :
I'm getting on track to perform again on a regular basis , the detour is pretty
much over , still kicking at it , during the detour a guitar/harp/keyboard was
at or near my side all the while when it was nutz all around me . Music kept
me sane for several hard years :smokin: .
Busking , here's how I got into it kinda in a round about way doing a street side
coffee house gig for years .
I did a duet and 4 piece at a coffee house , it was open to the street with a theater
by it and restaurants , tourist traps etcetera all over . It allowed my music to be
heard as the theater emptied after a movie ended as well as the clientele from the
restaurants & shops to passers by as I performed . I drew a good draw always , the gig
lasted me a long while . It helped me establish a reputation in the area , and after
about a year there other venues started to come in from outside the area :banana:
I wasn't a solo artist then as I am now
. I thought how it would be cool to do this
but at the time those who were playing the coffee house gig wouldn't entertain
the thought of busking , they sort of thought it was beneath them . That thought never
occurred to me . I knew it would work because of how I pulled in street traffic whether
it was a a duet or a combo set .
I've got a DC power bank for the T.C.Helicon VL3X , & the other gear that need it and
working on the supply for my Roland GR33 guitar synth module , it's different , has to
have some AC and a straight DC supply won't cut it :crazy: .
Where I play is a small tourist area , it's got Indian Casinos , huge golf/tennis resorts but
it's not in a metropolis type city , I'm ready to go to a big outdoor/park/downtown area
and solo with my harps , synth/electric guitar , sing with the above mentioned gear .
My little lithium powered P.A. kicks out enough clean and powerful sounding audio that would
get me arrested in places where sound or volume restrictions are in effect :naughty:
Busking solo I will haul ;
The 5 BodyRez presets on the T.C.H VL3X with it's use of added FX dose a good enough job
from the piezo's on my Godin LGXSA's , really a good sound too , this means I won't have to
haul the acoustic guitars & thier cases - man , I , mean to say - I am travelin light as a busker can play .
¿ Anyways fellow guitar slingers what's up with your T.C.Helicon VL3X or any other similar type
solo set up ?
