As a guy who did church plants with portable systems, you'll love the day you get array's. But then worship IS more than technical achievement. It's an achievement of the realization that through the cross, God is present and initiating His worship. But I think He likes it at about 103db.

So it's most likely not stage volume; as Fred so aptly put, it's probably our mix. We're working on it. :) Unfortunately, my amps were isolated–behind the stage, facing backwards, behind a heavy curtain, and with baffling over them.

Can the church throw $500 at the Orange Tiny Terror? That amp is an absolute tone BEAST! Plus, it is so low volume you can run it all the way open and keep the front row happy. ..and, no, I don't work for Orange. However, I would take one and endorse it if they gave it to me. Ain't no shame in my game. I’d pay a whole dollar to see a video of Karl demonstrating the destructive power of his pedalboard.

Alex, Love the handle bars man. Very cool that you guys have guest worship leaders. Fred,

I've moved to a 5 watt head that I modded...sounds killer, and in our crappy room I can get away with it on stage. Isolate those amps Karl.

Keep in mind, MANY MANY times "it's too loud" really means "something in the mix hurts my ears". If you don't have one already, get a db meter (yeah, you can even grab that at Radio Shack) and keep it on the board all the time ... you don't want to sustain peaks over 105 or so if you can help it ... I know your format is pretty progressive and loud works for that - but you may want to look at frequencies, too. Almost 100% of the time, someone complains that it's "too loud" ... I can roll off some high mids somewhere and they'd swear I'd just turned down the volume 10db, but really the volume didn't change at all ... just the mix. Just my $.02 Fred Hey man,
