Busking with electric guitar?

Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi all, I thought I'd might ask about some general knowledge about busking with electric guitars, is it a thing?.. Also how would you power up? Generator, but aren't those things noisy?..

 

Hope you are all well..

I've seen people doing it since the 90s at least. Best tone was a guy in St Paul's tube station in the run up to Christmas about twenty years ago or more, who had an old (pre-1980) battery-powered Vox amp of some sort. 


Course, some of the official busking spots on the tube I think even have power sockets now.

Nice!..

 

I'm from a small town, (burton upon Trent). In the town canter they are not many hot spots for busking, but I've only seen people busk in the same spot with an acoustic. 

 

I was planning to take my SPARK amp as its great for jamming with backing tracks and connectivity via Bluetooth. I've seen a nice BOSS amp that's in my budget for busking, but i'd like something that could at least have an AUX connection or a Bluetooth connection driven amp.

Settled for this bad boy.. 

 

BOSS Ktn-Mini Katana Portable Guitar Amplifier, i meant its not Bluetooth, but it has some sick features for great tone on the go, but it has an AUX cable connection, so I'm pretty happy with that!

I received my amp a few days ago and it came with free batteries. Epic! Gotta admit its a great sounding amp with great tone and volume. Couldn't be more chuffed!
