ok yung tunog nung taxi amp. mejo pricey nga lang nasa PHP10k or more ata yung 15w amp

kung price/watt, panalo pala yan. kasi yung Micro Cube 2w lang, around $100 na.  altho ung taxi amp is more of a powered mini-PA/spkr.  pero 8in vs 5 in ng MicroCube so it must sound bigger/louder.

I've tried that microcube. ANG LAKAS nyan!

Although puro distortion settings na-try ko...ung cleans nde masyado pero okay pa rin...Ang lakas nyan amp na yan for its size and power.

talaga?  i want one for home practice sana e, in front of computer, beside bed, while watching tv downstairs, etc...  i sold all my mini-amps and set my sight on something like this or the Taxi.  

sana may mag-feedback about Taxi amp... anyone?

Slim,

Ayos yang micro-cube, maganda tumunog. May modelling ek-ek na rin kasi, yung line out nya speaker compensated para magamit pang direct recording. May basic preset efx na rin (chorus, delay, reverb, etc) Malakas na rin.

Walang panama yung Crate dyan kasi basic amp/mini PA lang yun. Yari ka pa pag nasira yung rechargable battery, baka mahirap hanapin dyan.

Ang dating sa akin ng micro cube, parang  hi tech na pignose hehehe pwede mo rin sukbit sa sinturon mo.

yan ang target ko kung bibili rin ako mini amp kasi mukang solid din ang construction nya e...parang pde pamalo. . seriuosly, though since i do travel a lot, bagay e...

kung may footswitch lang sa effects yan amp na yan, wala kna hahanapin pa.

I think "busking" is cool. Not that I've actually done it. The closest I have been to something like "busking" would probably be the charity "gig" we did a couple of Sundays ago.  It was just me and our singer, no bass and drums and only played for less than an hour. We had fun tho! Here is a photo:



There's actually a Busker's Festival here during the summer and you can just bring your instrument and play your heart out. It goes on for a week.

I don't think busking in the Philippines is illegal, on a national level at least. The Revised Penal Code does not have a crime to cover this. Technically speaking, one is just playing music. There is a right called freedom of expression.

On the city level, there could be some local ordinance banning such sort of thing. But you can get a way with it by saying that you are only practicing your craft. You are not selling nor pandering. If someone gives you a tip, well, that's generosity.

If you can do Tai chi in the park or do HHWW in baywalk (both are modes of expression), the logic should follow playing the guitar.

The problem is now where to find a plug.....

oo daming buskers jan no... sa MRT lang eh, hehe. full band pa yung iba.

Tnx for this... useful info.  Ang problema rito yung mga pulis or security who don't know better.  Di sila sanay e, praning pa.

As for where to plug... that's exactly why I started a battery powered mini-amp thread.
