Micro or Minimark?

Anyone out there use either of these amps? I checked out the micromark sounded great and pretty loud. Could I hear myself over a drummer using the micromark? I really just need it to act as a monitor for myself.

I wouldn't think you'd be able to hear a Micromark over a drummer. It's a 50w amp with an 8" speaker. But I suppose that depends how loud the drummer plays.

Mine? No friggin' way.

The Minimark can do the job depending on how loud your drummer is and what type of venue. Mine has been great and with a small extension cabinet is quite amazing, really.

Yes I figured the mini would work. I was going to go amp free. Sansamp bass driver an a monitor but I was thinking this might be better.

You'll need a micro drum(mer).

He's not a micro drummer but he does think that if the bass amp is on then the bass is too loud.

An octabass may help then

Dude It sucks. It's the way I pay the bills though so acceptance is the answer right now. Looking at a minimark on ebay.

The headphone out sounds great, too, with my Sennheiser HD280 pro phones, so that could be an option for you, with the DI going to the PA.
