StreetBox-60 : Delivered as advertised

3 years ago

I was a bit dubious but needed what utilities were offered on this product. I had an upcoming gig where the venue needed a street act in the middle of a festival setting but weren't allowed by city ordinances to offer a power supply for amplification. This was to be my guerilla tactic for being heard above the din of the crowd and competing sound systems. This item arrived...and I was immediately impressed by the aesthetically pleasing design and utility of the three channels and built in effects; -as well as the handsome case it came in. Maybe a tad too snug but otherwise very well made and all very apparently durable materials.

I rehearsed with it at the studio and we had no need to use any additional studio equipment as it was sufficiently loud enough and good quality tone to it. My drummer was impressed and he's a sound technician (and owner of the rehearsal/recording studio that we rehearsed at.)

Day of the gig itself, set up was quick and I'm guessing any of the tonal problems were more to do with the lack of setup time in general as a band member showed up late. But for the rest, the gig and all.... it performed admirably and we had a good crowd who clearly liked what was going on. And another musician friend with a mostly brass section act that often does street performances (Balkan style dance music) he was very impressed and interested in it. So, all in all, I can easily say that this system is an excellent investment That hopefully will pay for itself. Haven't had it or used it enough to say what it's longterm durability is, but I will say that it's off to a good start.
