I want to use this for a 2-3 man band, anyone have experience with that? (2 vocals, 2 guitars and maybe bass) help??

The speakers are terrible, the tweeters blow. I ended up using only the amp and bought a pair of Peavy's. Do not buy it, trust me. The system works great with the new speakers, but you are better off buying a PA and speakers separate.

Do not waste Your money , do not buy This product .Unfotunately I have 2 of these and they are both junk . One Speaker blew after just 7 uses .The customer service , warranty, and repair with anything behringer is a joke If you buy one of these you might as well buy 2. Or 3 cause you are gonna need them for parts Ck out the fender or yamaha units , they are much better

I use this PA for jammin' in my basement. We have a drummer and 2 guitarist where everyone sings. It definitely works for this purpose, however, sometimes we experience aome feedback (we just manoever the speakers arpund). Its definite not the promart purpose of the PA but it does work and the prixe is good. Ive talked to someone at a music atore that says a monitor can be hooked up to the unit but i havent explored that option yet.

This is a great unit for you, I'm a 2 man band and its works great, The Bass Im not sure about, usually a bass has their own amp, that you could mic up and pass through this unit, but it has a place for 4 xlr mics and 4 -1/4 inputs as well as rca hookups for tablets Ive never had a problem with the speakers at all, they are 12 inch and strong.

We use ours very successfully for vocals ..Both channels .. regularly in room holding about 75 or more .. With amped guitar & electric piano .. never had to use beyond 75 % or less on volume & no problem hearing lyrics .. must have good mics. Have no experience with drums

I use a small Behringer mixer in our system. It allows me to plug in a keyboard, an extra mic, and a couple of guitars. Works fine. There are better sound systems for sure, but for the money this setup is perfect for our little chapel.

No problem. One guitar certainly can instruct two VL5s on what is the underlying chord structure of the song. This is especially easy because each VL5 has a 'Guitar Thru' socket you can use to send the guitar signal to the second one. If you want background vocals other than straight harmony, though, for instance some sort of call-and-response, then you'll of course need two singers on two mics.

I have four ts outputs from two keyboard (ts) outputs going into my mixer (and an XLR mike), so I think it should work for you. You might not be able to balance the three instruments as independently as you may want, possibly, since the mixer inputs are paired (1 with 2 and 3 with 4), but you can use the pan knob to tweak the balance that way. I've got stereo pairs going in so it works well for what I do. And the sound quality is very very good for the price.

This is how wife and I use these. I have one. Accordion into preamp into amplifier that has built in speaker and mixer. Wife has one. Viola into preamp into same amplifier. Drum machine into same amplifier. System works great. The little preamps are handy to get the signals just right to go into the amplifier. Tone and level are adjustable from location of each musician. Start with the preamp controls at mid position and work from there to set amp levels. START WITH THE POWER AMP AT A LOW LEVEL. The move level up to what you think might be proper. Fine adjust preamps later.

To be honest I use the keyboard as part of my band. I have never use it for what you are inquiring about. Cannot give any advice.

I looked up how to set one up on YouTube, and it worked just fine. I have no experience with setting up drum sets, so if I can do it, anyone can.:-)

I use it for home enjoyment. I have seen the QChord used in a Leslie Gore tribute band and a polka band. Would it fit in a country gospel band? I'll say it depends on the person using it and what that person is trying to achieve soundwise. I got one based on seeing it in a live setting and thought it was cool.

Don't do it. Using the tone match or not, if you're micing a full kit then you should use a normal PA system with mains and monitors. We don't use our Bose with any more than 2 people even if we're playing acoustic.

Why not! Sounds like a perfect application. Like any other application, I would not plan to run this unit flat-out for long periods as you will likely run into reliability issues. This is not a high-end unit. I'm a gigging bass player and I've been using this with volumes set to about 8/10 for a couple of years now with no probs.

I've used this for music projects. Though I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for good quality, here is a sample of how it sounds with guitar:https://soundcloud.com/benedicttoast/dinkleberg

I've done it, gives the guitar a lot more low end and lower midrange than you would get from a guitar amp. Absolutely terrible for a band situation as the guitar won't cut through the mix but kind of an interesting sound if just practicing alone. I actually think it sounds kind of cool for low volume bedroom practicing.

I use my loop for all bass parts and it works great. I run guitar left 50 on main out, bass right 50 on main out, that way I have separate channels on my board. You have to make sure you record the start at the same time as the first track though to keep it is synch. My recorded bass is always correct, never forgets the arrangement, takes no cut, and never misses rehearsal. The 3rd channel is available for other parts. More recently I put down 4, 5,6, 7 or 8 tracks on my digital recorder, mix them down, and put on one loop. It frees up a lot of space on the loop, and it still sounds live.

Hi Marty, You can only input 2 tracks at a time.. If you can record your band with 2 mikes.. then you burn to CD.. or if you have another mixer for more mikes and connect to 2 inputs of the 03 this would work well. You have 8 tracks on the 03 but can record only 2 at a time.. so mixer -- to 03 --- then burn Cd with 03 would work well.. 8 track mixers are not expensive, some under around 100$.. paul

I'm not sure this is going to help you very much because I've only used the Vocalist 3 thru a PA in an acoustic setting. No problems of any kind when used this way and it sounds amazing!

Yes and no. We've used it for vocals in a band that did many different formats. More as a monitor than a amp though. It's loud, but it's not massively loud.
