PA
I use a Fender Passport 150 PA and since 2004 a Fender Passport 250 PA for amplifying the output of: 1) One SC-8820 sound module to Line In. (The other SC-8820 goes into a GK bass amp) 2) GR-33 Guitar Synth (To the "Line In" of the P150) 3) One VX-5050 sound module to the stereo inputs of the P250 3) For singing in (close) harmony, via a VoiceWorks outputted in stereo to the Passport 250. All this is driven by a Laptop PC running Band in a Box, under WIN 98 SE.
