Hi Bill,
I did not get my T1® specifically to use with my Compact. I had the T1® already when the Compact came along. I got it with my Model II.
It is the simplest most musical device that I have ever used between a microphone or guitar and an amplifier. Musical? What I mean is - it does NOT get in the way of making music.
For a Singer / Guitarist there are some very simple, one-time setup things to do:
- Set input trims for your microphone and guitar (less than a minute)
- Set Presets (less than a minute to several minutes depending on how long you want to spend experimenting)
Then you get to set things on the fly depending on the song, the venue, your mood.
- Volume
- zEQ (tone controls)
- Effects
Later if you want to dig in or if you have specific issues then you can explore
A musical pal picked up a new T1® last Thursday. He didn't get around to firing it up until late Friday afternoon. He was gigging with it for an early show at 7:00 PM on Friday. He sounded great.
Yes, it can be that simple.
