Perfect amp setup for pop/boat gigs

[warwick1992]

Hey guys, I currently own a GK 800RB head with a 1x12 ampeg SVTHE cab and I was wondering if my rig would be enough in term of sound and loudness for pop gigs. I am planning to have a 4 months contract to play pop gigs every night so I want to make sure I have a proper equipement. We are a five piece band. (Drum, bass, keys, Voice and guitar.) What do you think?

Do you have PA support? Opportunity to DI into the desk?

If the answer is yes to both then you'll almost definitely have no issues. If not, maybe you might want to hire a bigger cab for the duration of the contract. In reality though, if your band don't play obscenely loud you'll probably be ok regardless.

I don't know what 'pop' is these days so I have no idea what kind of sound/loudness you would need.

With 1 12" speaker it will depend on how loud the whole band gets?

Boat as in cruise ship? They should have quite specific requirements, probably focused on a quiet stage.

Ok thanks, and by pop, I meant top 40-style songs
