Hi everyone,
I am pleased to announce that Jennifer Batten (Michael Jackson/Jeff Beck etc) will be again touring the UK with her amazing one woman multimedia show.
The dates and locations for these shows can be found at www.jenniferbatten.com
As per last year, she is again using two model IIs, each with two B1s and a T1. There are no other guitar or backline amplifiers involved.
Her signal comes straight from her Digitech effects unit, through a Palmer speaker simulator and then into the T1s/L1s.
As Jennifer herself says:
'The L1 towers that Bose kindly provided for me on my first solo UK multimedia tour gave me the assurance that I'd have consistently great sound every night. After far too many years of suffering with less than pleasing monitors, I now take the Bose wherever I'm able. I believe the technology is the future for all musicians. The audience also benefits from them as most PA systems ignore all the people right at the front of the stage because the sound usually is sent over their heads, or to their sides to the back of the room. Depending on the room size, shape, and acoustics, often the Bose is all that's ever needed.'
Jennifer has long used L1s for her gigs having bought a pair of Classic L1s many years ago. These are still used for shows in the USA.
