Tech: Fishman Solo Amp

As I edge closer to the populace I have to choose an amp system.
Does anyone have opinions/experience on the Fishman Solo?
I am a singer/songwriter who intends to use an external mike for guitar (No di).
If the Aer Acoustcube had two xlr inputs I would probably have opted for that.
Do you rate the Fishman Solo?

What ever System you buy , its a basic rule that before long you will find that it is inadequate . UNLESS you start with a 24 channel mixer , THEN you may get away with it for a while !

For versatility and value for money,
it might be worth a few minutes checking & comparing the Laney line of AUDIOHUB
portable multi instrument input combo amps.

AUDIOHUB Amps

Or their Acoustic amps.

Coo. Like the look of those Laneys.

Yeah.. surprisingly not as well known as they could be ???

If I ran a pub folk club, they'd be my first choice.
Ideal handy gear for subtle balanced sound reinforcement at sessions.

..and you can link 2 for use as small bar room gig PAs.

I got 2 of the older 80watt versions cheap off ebay.

My only gripe is the older cabs are covered in that carpet material,
that can over a long time get grubby and tatty.

I don't know if the new models still use it instead of easy wipe down tolex.

We tend to use Micro Cubes (15 + 20, either / or depending on the kit) but I've never been too happy with them to be honest, even at 'acoustic' levels. The Laneys sound just the ticket though - I'm tempted to swing by MCR & pick a couple up on our way to our Sheffield gig tomorrow (at which we're expecting our Micro Cube set up to handle a Mininova, MS-20, Monotribe / Volca bass as well as two vocal mics, one going through a Boss VE-20... what are the chances???)

Thanks. PFR! You might have just saved the day!
