Advantages: Full-length, nice key action Disadvantages: Not a real piano!
...I use this stage piano in my rock band, barkerhound(.com). It is full length (88 notes) with what I would call semi-weighted keys.
I'm actually a pianist, so my knowledge of keyboards/synths is more limited.
However, as a pianist going to a keyboard I love the action and feel of these keys, there's really something to play against and the responsiveness is nice - not too light.
It has 6 different sound options - Piano, Electric Piano, Harpsichord, Vibraphone, Organ and Strings plus various other functions which to be honest, I don't really go near - I pair this Korg up with a Nord rack (better piano/organ sounds).
On saying that, I will be using this Korg as part of a piano/vocal duo and know that it is light enough to be wheeled about in it's flightcase (I'm a girl, the boys I know carry it with even more ease).
If you're looking...

Advantages: Awesome sound clarity, Awesome inbuilt effects Disadvantages: Heavy
...As an avid electric guitar player, a good quality amp is imperative to my sound. The Line6 Flextone Plus provides more than just bang for the buck.
At 100w of power, you won't be left lacking whilst using this amp. Featuring Dual Celestion 12" speakers, chances are you won't crank this amp up to full very often. Speaking from experience, when you do, the sounds will blow you away. Often with amps, playing at full volume induces unwanted noise - this isnt the case with the Flextone Plus.
Featuring 36 different Amp and Cab models, 6 types of delay, 6 effects, and a fully programable interface - this is the new age amp revolution. No longer get stuck in a rut with tones. Switch with ease with the included FB2 - One minute be playing modern high gain over driven heavy metal, with the tap of a button switch to a clean jazzy tone, little bit...

PA Paradise Review ofPeavey Carlsbro PMX 8-2 PAby
Trev1000
Advantages: Compact and Powerful with duel impedance support. Disadvantages: None
...If anyone out there is trying to get all the gear together for general usage and band work, this could benefit you. In general Carlsbro amplification is very good quality, and usually well priced in it's category compared to rival brands. This op however is about the early PMX 8 - 2 model.
I picked up this great bit of kit for £800.00 complete with speakers second hand nearly 3 years ago, and at the time it must have already been 4 to 5 years old. It's still just as good now, and with an output of 150 watt x 2 for stereo or 300 watt mono, it has plenty of oomph, and if required can be slaved up to 2000 watt. That should be more than enough even for the biggest auditorium.
The design is quite good, a bit like the flightcased DJ units with built in carry handles. It's very sleek and up to date looking and the sound quality is not any...
