When I used my powered amp/mixer it had lots of effects settings to chose from including one labeled as "karaoke". I used the karaoke selection and I'm trying to duplicate that effect using the T1 Tone Match. It looks like a choice between "Delay or Reverb".

I'm not a soundman pro and the T1 settings are complicated and I'm having a problem setting up the T1 for the karaoke effect.

What settings are you using?

I am not using the Bose Tone Generator any longer. It is great but I need more inputs and you are right the Bose Tone Generator isn't easy to use because all the settings are accessed by the rotary control on the right. I don't remember the exact settings I used on the Bose. If I remember correctly they had several type of delays, i.e, digital, tape etc. The same thing for the Reverb. You can also mix them. I would start at the default settings and tweak them until I got the sound I wanted. Because of different acoustics in different clubs I would have to re-tweak the settings for each club. You have to be careful how much delay and especially how much reverb or you will run into feedback problems. I use a DBX Drive Rack PA with their RTA mic to setup the best EQ for the club I am playing and it also has a feedback eliminator built into it. When I get it set up for a particular club I store the setting into memory and next time I'm at that club I just call up that memory and I'm ready to go. Feedback is pretty much a thing of the past using this unit. The DBX model I have is no longer available but they have new and betters ones now. With Bose L1 Model II and the DBX Drive Rack PA, I have been told by many that I have the best sound in town.

I now use a Mackie PROFX16 mixer in place of the Bose T1. It gives me a variety of FX settings and they are quick to add and everything is easily accessed. The important thing is that I really needed the additional channels and on those rare occasions when I use stage monitors it is much easier to utilize than the Bose. I had to use the Aux out on the Bose for the stage monitors and it was a pain and not quickly accessible. The Bose Tone Match (mixer) wasn't really designed for KJ or DJ use. It was designed more with the musician in mind.
