Excellent Post Herb.

I've given serious thought to stringing another Bose S1Pro to the existing one.
You can't beat the portability and the battery powered aspects.
The sound is amazingly good and room-filling.

But I'm a little on the fence regarding the EQ of the device.
As per usual Bose uses a bit of its own software to control EQ.
Literally a black box

The bluetooth to me is mostly unusable for any tracks with a bass player or kick drum.
I'm not talking loud metal, even some good acoustic jazz bass will negatively affect it.
B3 organ seems to be particularly offensive.
I messed a bit with EQ for each song inside Anytune Pro and that will work.
But that's a bit of a pain after working that out in the DAW.

Truth is I'm looking for simple. I don't want to be a recording engineer at a gig.
I want easy pack in and setup, have some fun playin, packout, get paid & go.
I'm old and cranky and I like it that way

I do use the two "ToneMatch" channels on the S1Pro at a small gig.
One for guitar the other for the backing tracks (Ipad out/Direct Box into PA)
Mostly they work fine, but in some rooms the backing tracks get a bit muddy.
I think that may be the EQ of the tonematch circuits.
I know I could add a mixer but thats one more thing to deal with.

The guitar part works fine either direct (Godin A6 ultra) or first through a Tech 21 FlyRig(tele,prs).

I have not ruled out just adding another S1Pro. I can probably make that work
I'm also considering the line array JBL Eon 1 Pro.
The JBL should have more clear bottom on it, and a bit more headroom for larger gigs
It does weigh 37lbs which is almost like humping a vibrolux again.

Perhaps if I get enough gigs I can get both.

Again, your comments were spot on and appreciated
