Well I did what I said and tried the BA330 again with different settings and sound sources. Vocals - very good, Organ -forget it, Piano- good, G1000 - not good. Surprizingly it sounded best with a CD player doing some Groove Jazz with heavy bass.
I did an A/B against my Carvin LM12 hooked up to may Yamaha 68S mixer. Now I know the Yamaha has a lot more power so I tried to keep that in mind. The LM12 just blew the socks off the BA330. I then tried it against one of my old Peavey Impulse 100's, a 10" PA speaker. Again the BA330 came in second.
My feeling is the BA330 has a fantastic mixer section, good reverb, great portability, built like a tank, and would be great for some light keyboard and vocals in a small situation. Unfortunatley even in my NH gigs I kick it up with some good shuffles or whatever that have some solid bass/drums. .
Where I really see this thing shine is using the battery power for an outside gig for an acoustic guitarist/singer.
So I'm now in the market for a small powered mixer that can act as a backup to my Yamaha EMX512 and then be used with just one LM12 for the small stuff. Two pieces instead of one but thats the tradeoff. I'm trying to downsize and have the least amount of gear.
Next up- the keyboard that will do it all and replace some of the ones I have.--Lookout-, here we go!
