I used my Milkman Creamer today in an outside gig we played. I miked it through the sound system and used an A/B switch to go between pedal steel and guitar. From what people tell me it sounded great out front as well all I wanted, volume wise, on stage. These amps really are great, thank you Tim.

Thanks Garry!
People think I'm nuts when I say that my 20W covers 99% of my gig and session duty. Now you have confirmed that I'm not crazy

Actually it only proves you're not mistaken.
Having facts straight is no proof of sanity.

Speaking of playing outdoors, I hope I'm not terribly off topic in saying that I played my first Fair gig on a stage, under a medium tent, with my PSG 85W amp (just in case). The amp was mic'ed, but I had LOTS of onstage volume while barely reaching 4. And it was clean and clear, with many effects ahead of it. I was considering whether or not I might need to replace the PSG amp with the upcoming hybrid amp of Tim's, but after this gig, I realize I just don't need to go that route, with the bonus of keeping a full tube sound.

"People think I'm nuts when I say that my 20W covers 99% of my gig and session duty. Now you have confirmed that I'm not crazy "
......or does this confirm that crazy loves company ? ..... lol !!!....
Just kindding !!....
As Paul Simon once said ..." One mans ceiling is another mans floor " .....I guess what I am trying to say is that it's up to the individual as to how loud things actually get on stage , how many players in the band, and the venue being played .....
I can see how a pedal steel player , and a guitarist can get away with a 20 watt amp running pedals and all , but the amp would still have to be mic'd ..... Again , YMMV ....... Jim

Dan-
If the Pedal Steel Amp isn't loud enough, you all need to turn down, you will be deaf soon....if I could still carry a 55lb Milkman amp, I wouldn't be giving the Half 'n Half a second thought...

True enough, Steve. I don't like having to play loud, but most of what I do is music with a -rock suffix, so that typically entails volume. Still, I want the superb tone the 85W delivers.
Weight is certainly a reason I was looking at the Half & Half (and may again before long), but fortunately I don't have to haul the PSG out to every gig and rehearsal.
