direct play on pa?

[ekurburski]

Seems I remember somewhere that I can't pla6 a guitar direct thru a pa.  Now I see all kinds playin there kbs thru there pa's.  doing a one man band and want to add an ocassional real guitar to the tune.  But at 78 years old don't need to lug a guitar amp to the gig.  Why can't I just plug into the pa?

Shouldn't be a problem with most modern decent PA systems. Guitar players might prefer a dedicated amp for control or preferred tone, but other than that should be fine.

Earl, just plug into any of the PA's 1/4-inch inputs and play - it's that easy. You can also plug into the line/mic input of the arranger keyboard and control the effects and volume using the mic settings page. Nothing to it, unless you are using an acoustic guitar, which would require a special pickup in the guitar that fits into the opening. I have one of those pickups around here somewhere.

Good luck,

Gary

duh.....  Once again if I had looked in the manual my answer was there all the time.  Plug into the kb controlling the effects and volume from there.
