Go to GuitarCenter.com and look for "portable amps" or "guitar amplifier" for ideas.
Best thing to get
Hi
hope I’ve come to the right place as I have no idea about these things! My son is wanting to busk. He’s a dancer and has been out a few times and performed. The problem is we can’t work out how to get his music played loud enough. We’re wanting to get him a decent amp to play his backing tracks through but we have no idea where to start. Can anyone give us some pointers as to where we should start looking. Thanks for any help anyone can give

I don’t know if it makes a difference but he’s not on a guitar, he just needs it to play the backing tracks. He’s dancing to the music. I don’t know now having looked but what’s the difference between the amp and the speaker? Sorry for the total ignorance. He’s currently using a vocal star multi media speaker that he hooks up to his laptop. |
Try Musician’s Friend for something bigger than what he’s using: https://www.musiciansfriend.com/karaoke Here’s an option, from Best Buy: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-xboom-550w-speaker-system-black/6297127.p?skuId=6297127 Many of the newer boom-boxes have both Bluetooth and USB, which will make laptop connection easy. |
This is why you need to give ALL the info upfront. If he’s already using a Vocal Star (VS) and it’s not loud enough, he just needs a louder unit. Is he using effects or other specific settings on the VS that he needs on a better unit? If so, please specify. If not, then a better amp/speaker combination unit as mentioned above will work. This will blow him away in loudness compared to the, dare I say it, toy Vocal Star. https://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifiers-effects/fender-champion-100-guitar-combo-amp/h97919000001000 |
