Thank you so much for posting this. I've been looking at getting this amp and have not been able to test out the dual channel feature. All music stores don't have mics you can hook up to test it. This shows me that it still has a balanced good sound even with the mic plugged in. I pretty much had my mind set on the Troubador just for it's guitar sound alone. Now I am 100% sure this is what I will buy. Thanks for helping me in my decision. Keep up the playing...you sound awesome.
@cwin12 Thanks, yeah, the dual channel works alright. The only thing to watch is if you plug something into the CD/aux input and forget to unplug it, it seems to ditract a lot from the tone and volume of the guitar channel. The mic and guitar channel work fine together. I decided on the troubadour because of the individuality and build quality. Just makes sure with these smaller watt amps, your setup has a preamp - I tried a soundhole pickup in my Maton and it wasn't very loud.
@VanessaSurian Thankyou, you are a very gracious lady. I am trying to teach myself to press more lightly on the strings, because my finger joints have been aching, so that is why I was mesmerised by your fingers. I think it would improve my playing too if I can fret the strings more delicately.
Great sound from the Troubadour mate. I was gonna get that very same amplifier for myself but they didn't have any stock left from the distributor here in the Philippines except for their unit on display at the shop, and that one had a worn out leather coat on the body so I went to another shop and that's when I found the Laney.
@riodejanero2007 I listened to the Laney and Marshall amps on youtube. The Marshall was a good natural sound, but I thought the Laney had a bit more sparkle. They are probably both better priced and more versatile than the Troubadour, but I fell in love with the personality and style of the troubadour, and the build quality is beautiful too. I'll check your channel out. My internet has been slowed at the moment. I'm a youtube addict :P
@onelastbreath7777777 Thanks... bloke in guitar shop was cool. I get disappointed when I go into other music shops and the person doesn't know much about what they are selling.
I'd love to have someone to play music with. You have to find people you mesh with... and who aren't totally against your point of view on things - that helps to.
@MrUnscientific Thanks, I am still developing the fingerpicking for this song, so it is a bit erratic, but I like the sound and tone of it.
Ah well, a lot of it is about having a bit of a formula. I have most success with just sitting down and strumming a few chords until I find something that speaks to me and then I will hum along with it and eventually the words develop. Sometimes I will have an idea that might or might not work, but I don't try to force it.

@mistermullens Yes, they are. It has two channels. I bought it to kind of do small gigs... friends places, casual pub jams and stuff.

@Adnamira LOL I might rival you at that being an "addict" thing. I like this song by the way, it's got a Simon and Garfunkel-y ring to it.
