Anyone got any good set ups for getting a nice electric sound through the PA? I'm considering taking my electric out for a few solo gigs to try and channel that Lightnin' Hopkins vibe!

I thought an inexpensive but decent small solid-state amp with a line out would be an easy find but they are rarer than I expected.

I use one of these:

Best thing I ever bought for my electric gigs. I turn up with a bag in one hand and a guitar in the other and am ready to go!

You can get some lovely sounds out of it. This video was my most recent effort, but anything of mine on YT in the last few years with an electric is played through this.

I don't use mine much now as band gigs are rare - but it will be getting an outing on Monday. In fact if ever I have rock / blues electric gigs in the future and for some reason I can't use the PA I think I'd be inclined to plug this into my AER Compact 60 and thus still travel light! Anyone want to buy a Laney VC30 valve amp?!

Tanglewoods, a Martin and a Furch, a Messer Resonator, and a couple of cheap Gypsy Jazzers!

I don’t gig but my electric setup is a Joyo American Sound pedal that goes straight into an audio interface and then into my computer, speakers or headphones as I need.

I understand it’s designed to go straight to a PA.

They also do other variants: e.g. British, California, Oxford all designed to simulate specific amplifiers.

Not sure if that’s what you need?

A guitar doesn't care how good you are, all it asks for is it's played.

Not sure what I need tbh - possibly just to dust off my old Peavey Classic and get it serviced, but I thought there might be an easier-on-the-back option available.

You have just reminded me that I have one of the Behringer gdi21 Sansamp clones kicking around somewhere, which in theory works as a DI box and amp sim so I might see if I can find that and get it working!
