Day one purchase for me.

Sorry but I'm just using the Fart Piano for gigs. Much easier than loading up on Taco Bell.
Sure. Take the easy way out.
And solid body electric guitars are still not a replacement for an acoustic guitar.People said the same thing about the first solid bodied electric guitars…
I played with a guy that used a Roland digital sax for a while, this was a LONG time ago. I don’t really remember what it sounded like.
I do remember that I didn’t really appreciate it appropriately until I played with a normal horn section years later and realized how frickin loud they are. Crazy thing is no one seems to care about their volume. I’ve had amps that couldn’t possibly get as loud as those horns, yet you couldn’t play an amp at that gig and the drummer was in a full cage. Apparently decibels are only problematic when they come out of guitar speakers specifically.

Horn sections are one of the reasons I went back to real amps. I’ve measured a 5 piece horn section peaking at 114-116db! I figure if they’re blowing that kind of volume from the stage then my amp isn’t going to be a problem.
Also horn sections are awesome and gigs that have horns are always the best gigs!
You enjoy playing with horn sections far more than I do lol.
I quit arguing over amps, it isn’t worth it. I’m happy with my modeling stuff. But the gigs that allow horns and open drums but not guitar amps still blow my mind.

I played in a 80 piece wind concert band. Taming each section's volume (trumpets, trombones, french horns, tuba, euphonium, saxophones, clarinets, flutes, percussion) is a major part of rehearsals. They don't need to be very loud to sound great.
FWIW, I use my modeler and small monitor with the big band I play with. They can on occasion reach some pretty high SPLs, but my rig has had no problem keeping up so far.Horn sections are one of the reasons I went back to real amps.

This is obviously a parody thread, but now I kinda want one.![]()
Didn't Kenny G already play one of those things back in the 90's?
Especially at golf clubs.
