Gday
recently ive started playing a song or 2 live for the first time ever(scary)
im looking to use my amp for my acoustic/electric but would also like to
add my less than nice voice to the mix(a bit of reverb hides the defects a bit)
is there a way that i can join the 2 together before they plug goes into the amp?
eg mic and guitar then into single plug on amp.i have a roland 80 amp.
thx
You need a mixer then you can split the signal .My Roland cube 40 has an auxiliary input ,I sometimes use for small gigs .I feed a 4 channel mixer in there and it gives me good clean sounds with plenty of volume .Don't just plug the Mic into the six as the signal level is too low with out the mixer. For smaller gigs I have a Roland street cube which has 2 separate channels and sounds great.Hope this helps Brian
Brian,
Graham is right get a mixer. There's plenty available either new or used, your Roland amp should manage well, just make sure you balance the guitar and vocal before turning the amp volume up. My advice; turn the volume off and increase it slowly so you don't blow your speaker...yes experience talking!
thanks guys great to have some vets here to pick theirs brains.
You may have the wrong amp for the job; the Roland Cube-80 is a guitar only amp, which you'll need a mixer to get the signal to, but you also effectively loose your effects for the guitar (or, more correctly, the effects are applied to voice and guitar). You may want to look into something like the street cube, which has separate inputs for mic and instrument.
The one I use is a Behringer with a 5" speaker, you can see it to the left in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqudYS90KpI

I have a Roland Street Cube, it does both, portable, easy to use.
Thats definetly the best option the new version has a 50 watt output and is great but quite expensive , I loaned my old er one to a freind for a rest home gig and it was more than adequate
Roland Street Cube or AC33 are two good amps, you can sometimes get the AC33 for a bargain price ... https://reverb.com/p/roland-ac-33-2x5-a … -combo-amp

thanks everyone for your ideas.i was only wondering if there was an easy fix.
i went to a gig last week and it reminded me how good an acoustic sounds amplified.
then i thought how to put vocal to that sound.
im not into gear so wont bother chasing this up,probably will never need it anyway.
thx
I use a digit each gnx3000 effects board. You can run your guitar and a microphone simultaneously. I just recently started using it for my microphone and it seems to work great.
