Tried this after demoing the EV 30M. After all the menus, adjustments, noises, the Bose was a breath of fresh air! Voiced perfectly for my ears out of the box, no menus, muss, and fuss. So easy. I felt the same way about my old L1 Compact, voiced so well. Bose Pro 8, or 16 for me. Great demo by a talented guy.

As a singer-songwriter, I can't tell you how much I appreciate a guitar channel covering a PA system in addition to the latest $300 transparent overdrive. As a brown man, I can't tell you how much I appreciate seeing that channel run by a fellow brown man, especially one who plays guitar so fucking well. Rock on JLJ. 🤘🏾❤️

I just started playing acoustic and electric rhythm guitar for a country band and was looking for an FRFR that would work on both types of guitars. I tried a few and the Bose is by far the most natural sounding of all of them. I almost forget I'm playing through a modeling pedal. I am still sending a balanced out to front of house. I am using the Bose as my personal monitor.

Thanks man. This was a very good demo. Well-thought out. Makes me subscribe and get the bell. I just bought a Bose S1 Pro a couple of weeks ago for my solo instrumental guitar ambient thing. Buying a second S1 tomorrow so I can do the Bluetooth stereo thing. But, I know I will now add the L1 Pro8 for bigger corporate gigs. It should be enough - even with 300 people - because I am always just ambient background music. You know how to make a great and helpful demo man. Keep it up. Life is short. We all gotta keep chasing after that Holy Grail on the journey. Cheers. :)

For a low volume gig, it will definitely hold up. However, I might go for the bigger model if you want to get some extra beefy lows from the bass and drum kick at higher volumes.

what 15" speaker is that? Seemed to really roll the highs off compared to the L1 Pro8.
@JayLeonardJ3 жыл бұрын
From what I remember hearing in the room, is that the more traditional speaker has a more mid focused/penetrating sound and the Bose seemed a little more wide with deeper lows and higher highs. Really interesting hearing the big difference between the two sources.

L1 delivers no mids ..... only basses and highs - The 15" Fullrange sound much better for me but such a fullrange in my back makes trouble with feedback because of the mids.

Definitely tried to do the best I could with that very dark studio room: you probably can't tell but I actually have and extra light source pointed right at it to try to get a little more illumination out of the PA. That is why I added a bunch of extra B-Roll shots to have to see the details a little better. The unit is definitely meant to blend in with the background and the tone of black is definitely not very reflective. I think I did a little better with the lighting in my other L1 vid, but practice makes perfect :)

Been using product live for 2 months. We also use an older model. New product made very poorly. Plastic. You can't read controls AT ALL when performing outside. Pairing app is difficult. Bose says app software needs an update. Update won't work with Safari on my Apple computer - if you can believe that. Total nightmare product. Sitcome worthy. I worry that Bose is in a nose dive. Sad because I have used many past Bose products. Shame on Bose and Guitar Center. They both have thrown the little guy under the bus. Knowingly selling a product that does not work - ie software glitch.

Hello Jay, nice playing, and nice Review. Please I want to know if 2 of these sets would work with outside mixer for a little band?, The band would use a guitar amp for a rythm guitar, a lead guitar thru a guitar effects footswitch, an amp for a bass guitar, and conected directly to the mixer, a synth, and 2 mics for voices and the after mentioned lead electric guitar. Thanks in Advance!
