I had both input and output gain knobs set at about 1 o'clock. Even cranking the input gain all the way up, I get no distortion using this guitar through the MP.
Did you get the impression there you got less of a "tubey" sound with a lower output gain setting?

because i already have a high power
amp a BAM200
I’m thinking of going ....
quilter Phantom Block
to BAM200
to Toob metro speaker
it might be the cheapest/ simplest
/neatest solution for me ....
and velcro it all together to make a tiny ‘combo’

I ended up giving it to a friend when I moved to Europe a few years ago, and he still uses it daily.

That stuff sucked up the smells of its environment like a vacuum cleaner. I probably used enough carpet cleaner to maintain a small hotel trying to purge eau de dive.

Nowadays, we are expecting to be (and getting!) heard; with our tones intact, at a reasonable volume, and without the weight, bulk, and ox-like effort of bygone days.
We've come a long way, Baby! let us celebrate the moment!

It's turned out to be a workhorse. Usually, it's the kb amp in a rehearsal space, but I've gigged with it on guitar, used it for harmonica, vocals (in a pinch), to playback mp3s from my phone, and anything else that needed to be mic'ed. It has a very rudimentary 4 channel mixer, which has been useful. Never used it for bass, and would only do so very quietly, but it would probably manage. I have used it for the pianist kicking bass after splitting the kb. I wish it had reverb, but it doesn't. I either can feed it with a mixer, or put a reverb unit (a Korg handheld PX5D has worked ok) in front of it.
Kb players tend to think of it as a lower quality of amplification, but not so bad that they'd rather lug their own amp to a rehearsal.

I’ve used one at a jam session
yeah sounded ok ,
I could only get anything out of channel 1

That’s a lot of power and speakers for an Archtop Jazz gig! Let us know how it works out Danny W!

Assuming you have a gig that's open to the public ... and you don't mind an internet guitar nerd showing up.
Hope your gig goes well.

First consideration is how the action feels under my hand. I like it soft.
Second consideration is how the high E string sounds around and above the 12th fret. If it's too thin, I'll go up a gauge on that string.
So, on my Comins GCS-1, I've got 11, 13, 16, 24, 32, 42. That's a set of 9s, throw away the 9 and buy a separate 13. They tune ok, except for the low E, which tends to be a little unstable.
I don't know if it would be easier on the right hand to play much heavier strings. My left hand can't do that. I suspect, though, that it would help, because picking near the bridge is a little easier -- the string is less floppy there. But, picking near the bridge doesn't give the sound I want.

None of my current guitars were with us when we moved here. It's a process.
