I just noticed that nowadays mikes are using balanced cables..

I remember the old HH pa amps back in 70's. 5 channels of VOl Treble and Bass and a switch to turn reverb on or off plus a master section of Reverb Presence and Volume. 
100w pa with 100w valve amps, and drummers were never Mic'd up then either. Looking back we must have sounded awful.

These actually make quite decent clean guitar amps for backup or for someone who wants to get all their sound from pedals or a multi-FX anyway. A good full, thick clean tone with reverb, bomb-proof reliability and you can pick one up in working order for £100 or less… and the panel lights up turquoise! Which makes them better than the equivalent Carlsbro/Laney etc ones .
