That's why I said it depends on the venue. Good point on the speaker but a 12 inch speaker is good for 30 to 40 people in a small to medium sized bar and that is already stretching it.
Bare bones yan. Tipong naka-asa ka lang sa amp mo. Tipong walang monitor at di ka na naka-connect sa PA.
Lalo na kung mic-ed ang drummer. GG ka dun, repa.
70's bistro easily holds 100++, played a gig there with a 15 watt Goldea, 1x12 extension cab with Celestion V30s. played mostly clean. non mic-ed, not connected to the PA. didn't sound like I was stretching it.
drummer was mic-ed and all, still fine.
kung mic-ed ang drummer, more often than not, I ma-mic ka din. kung di ka marinig sa PA, di kasalanan ng amp yun. kasalanan ng nag mix yun, or mali pagkakamic.
in the first place, bakit ka magma-mic ng drums, pero hindi ka mag mamic ng combo na amp hahaha I've only seen that setup when the sound system is generous enough to provide a 4x12. its usually the other way around naman eh, the amps will be mic'ed first way before the drummer gets a mic (in most PH venues)
