What guitar amp do you recommend I play my AdrenaLinn through when I play live?

Roger Linn Design
If you’re only using AdrenaLinn’s effects and not the amp models, then we recommend you use the amp you like best because it’s really personal taste. Filter effects are similar to wah pedal effects, so if you like a certain amp with wah pedal, chances are you’ll like the same amp with AdrenaLinn’s filter effects. See similar questions...

Why does a carved archtop guitar often sound better than a pressed or laminated guitar ?

Frequently Asked Questions
It's all about stress ! The top or back of a carved guitar starts out as a 1 inch thick block of solid wood. This is carved on the outside and inside, resulting in a stress-free top or back. This stress-free wood can be precisely tuned to the desired characteristics of the guitar. Pressed or laminated wood is not stress-free. The development of the tone is influenced by the stress in the wood. However, pressed or laminated guitars can have an excellent amplified tone. See similar questions...

If it is not, nothing will sound right to you and you will not be able to play along with the lessons without becoming confused.

What type of guitar does Julian play?

Julian Lennon Frequently Asked Questions!
Julian prefers acoustic guitars and plays a 1957 Gibson, a 12 string Taylor and a CJ 32 Yamaha. "Acoustics are much easier to lug around and obviously if you have an idea it's a lot easier, for me, I feel like there's a whole sound there rather than the electric sound, unless you're gonna carry another bunch of gear around to plug it all in. Even the walkmans and stuff, I like the sounds of acoustic and I'm mainly a rhythm player anyway. See similar questions...

WHY EXACTLY DOES SHE PLAY THE BASS GUITAR?

Gea: faq
In the beginning, in the first draught, Gea played the electric guitar. Then I chose to make her play the bass because I believe it's an instrument which reflects her character better. Usually, the bass player isn't at the front of the stage, like the singer or guitarist who are naturally more exhibitionistic. The bass player stays in the background but often holds the whole group together rhythmically. See similar questions...

If I want to add speakers to an existing site, do I need to upgrade the amp?

ADI-GARDINER UK
You need to take a few things into account here, the wattage of the existing amp and the total wattage of the existing speakers. As long as the amp wattage stays above the total speaker wattage after the additional speakers, there is no need to upgrade. Of course the other thing is weather the new speakers are to be zoned separately and if there is that availability on the existing amp. See similar questions...
