For what its worth... I use a Kustom KBA65. Its a 12" with plenty of lows from this ported cabinet. 6 band EQ, celestion speaker, and xlr line out. Not too shabby for $150.00

last week we did a session with old friends (Andreas on Guitar and Oskar on Bass) and also very old equipment for amplification. I've used an WEM ER100 transistor guitar amp with suitable WEM 100Watts speaker. I was very sceptical in advance whether this combination will give an acceptable result with the Voyager. But I was really surprised about the good appearance. Even with this equipment I was unable to create any bad sound. O.k., the high frequencies on the synthesizer were gone and a kind of an AM sound was achieved but the general result was very dominating and serious.

Where is the tutti button on this instrument? ...

Hello!

How do you think a Minimoog would sound on a Roland JC-120?

I'm quite impressed with (an earlier version of) this amplifier for synths in general.

I think that if I wanted lots of bass, I'd consider this one instead.

Both of these are dramatically lighter than others I've seen with comparable bass response.

FOR THE MONEY the Phonic MK-50 can hardly be beat...again, FOR THE MONEY is the key phrase here. Otherwise, get a Peavey KB-3(or used KB/A-60 or KB/A-100) or larger. :)

If I ever wanted to use an amp with my Mini, I would rent (or buy) a Mackie SRM450.

Live, I run mine through a vintage Fender Twin, or a Fender Deluxe 1x12 for smaller venues- sounds fabulous! the natural overdrive of the tubes and that great spring reverb helps it sound as meaty and on top as you can get!
