that's funny, I come to the conclusion that Americans are really lucky they live in huge areas with huge houses with huge basements they can put some huge amps in and have great house shows that are probably gonna be more fun and successful than the average back room of a pub/overpriced pretentious art cafe venue with weak PA and uncooperative sound tech here in the UK smile

och, son. dry your eyes.

as far as amps go, bass would be great, even better would be a keyboard/pa amp.

I play keyboards, and I have a behringer keyboard amp 350 watts, 15" speaker, sounds AWESOME!
4 channels, eq, effects, mic in, stereo in/out

plus it was half the price of a roland equivalent

Rule of thumb if you can't have a totally amazing time and sound great playing a gaemboy or whatever a) at a house show b) thru a guitar or bass amp (or both!) then maaaaaybe you and your music might just be BORING AND NO FUN. big_smile

I'd rather play thru good amps than a bad/underpowered PA any day. Plus sound guys seem less scared of amps than the PA so you could even end up louder/heavier that way in some circumstances.

DMG through my guitar amp sounds pretty awful.  Maybe some EQing on the mixer would help a bit.  Also, it's mono, so if you have some crazy stereo panning that's vital to the sound, you'll lose that and the song might sound a bit odd.

My live setup is actually already in mono, which is kind of shitty, but it is that way because I have it go through a modular low pass filter that only accepts mono.

If it's the right type of bass amp, go for it. Some have a tape in, and eq section, or sometimes both. A bass amp with 100 or so watts and a 15in speaker should be plenty for a house party.

Alright, I'm hoping it's a bass amp as I believe the guy whose amp I'll be using plays bass.



Thanks guys, I guess I'll badger them to see if they can find a PA somewhere, and I'll also look around town for one I can borrow

if you have a mixer then that should make sound quality a lot more manageable. shouldn't have a whole lot to worry about.
