Ultimate Portable PA for Guitar | Bose L1 Pro 8 

Mike Dawes, the legit Guitar RU-vidr who knows how to play Guitar completely

You can obviously see how much fun Mike had with the editing 😂

Thank for such a detailed review of this product. I bought one yesterday. Using the tone match feature is absolutely crucial to getting a quality sound. Night and day difference.

*has only played 3 gigs ever, not a touring musician* Yes I need this

WE NEED MORE OVER THE TOP EDITING👍

@7:13 you're wrong. the mic and instrument options here are only the tone match settings. it's not telling the L1 to expect mic or instrument levels. the levels are determined only by the type of cable connection used. TS for instrument, XLR for mic and TRS for line level. It's strange I know, but this is how Bose set it up. It's explained in the manual.

The emotional thought you impart comes through your fingers dramatically... U got feelz, brotha-man... 😁

The editing 🤣

Nothing embarrassing dude you are really cool 🤙

If Bose doesn't make you a rep they're crazy. Well done. Very professional review..

RU-vid algorithms in love with you Mike

Great demonstration

I use 2 of these as a keyboard monitor rig. They sound excellent, for the price. You should be aware of that they were constructed for singer-songwriters with limited knowledge of tech. Plug and play. An experienced engineer really must read the manual thoroughly, otherwise you’ll mess up the connections and settings both. I speak from experience. The 180 spreading is, at least to my ears, frequency dependant, but still much better than “regular” speakers. As for the app. I thought it was to fiddly for me, especially trying to control 2 units in stereo. Besides, I don’t trust Bluetooth enough to use it on a gig. You need an external mixer if you want to run stereo. Either Boses system or, like me, a small Mackie. As for the steaming music from the app: It will only stream to 1 (one) unit at a time, summing it to mono. Maybe it works differently if you buy the Bose mixer. Be careful with the level when you try them out. After my first real listening session I turned on the TV to watch the news (I know, I’m old school) and had to turn it up significantly. I can’t find any specs, but the L1 Pro sound very clean to me. So maybe the lack of distortion fools you into playing louder than usual. To call the bottom part Sub-bass, nah! 3 dB down at 45 Hz doesn’t even cater for the low E of a 4 stringed bass guitar. Let alone an EDM bass drum. Bottom line: So far very happy with the price, the sound and build quality. But a little disappointed that you have to buy the bags for the bass-unit separately.

Absolutely captivating review! I bought it JBL PA system with an 18in woofer just before the pandemic hit. Wish I would have gone with something like this since it is way too loud for playing at home.

Your video editing is easily as entertaining as your guitar chops !!

Dude your video editing is 🔥🔥🔥 Also, that photo ahaha

Thanks for a great review Mike- we met way back when I ran the acoustic stage for Tommy E in Slough I think- Im looking at getting one of these meself. nice one .

Probably the most laughs I had on a gear review video ever!

Just got mine yay

your editing skills are over 9000

excellent review, i'm sold on this one.

BOSE and Mike Dawes is the ultimate collaboration.!!!!!!👀😎👍👏🌟👋✌️🇨🇦 #Justsayin #Justkeepingitreal #Notapaidannouncement #MD#1

Again a great video, but please turn of that tv backlight in the background. Your white balance is going crazy in the video 😁

Hi, great review. Will it work with a solid electric lap steel with a p90 pickup? Thanks Chris

Thanks, Mike, for this entertaining and instructive guidance from a reliable source. Anything to note about the 16- and 32-tweeter models... as in better or worse sound quality or more power/coverage, but the 8-tweeter model will do for most of us?

I do not hear any piezo quack! What pickup is in that Sire? Reviews of this Bose system are all good. Will it set the bar? What else is it up against? And how easy is it to access the settings for those of us who don't use mobile phones?

Thanks for this very informative video .. your playing is incredible, plus you are very entertaining!! Lol .. Thanks again!🎵😀

Nice !!! Like the Jon Gomm detuning mechanics in the end ! ;-) Great device anyway, thank you !

Production quality!

Honestly have got no interest in buying this, but I kept watching for the awesome cutaways and excellent Wonderwall rendition. This guy guitars.

Hi thanks for the video. It seems that I had already watched it before and even commented. Have you tried JBLs portable line array PA's? Like JBL PRX ONE for example. I just bought the L1 Pro 8 but I think I will always had the doubt if JBL's would sound as good as Bose in this particular case. Thanks.

Great video! I just wish for backing tracks there was a Mid control. Also it would have been nice if there was a gain control on the App.for the line out. Waiting for the Battery Powered Pro8!

As much as I hate you for your immense talent that makes me miserable, I keep watching these videos cause the editing makes me laugh my ass off.

Hey... there isn't anything wrong with a paid promotion. I dunno, but this is how you make great sound, make some money, and the incredible folks at Bose make a living.

Playing in small space for only few friends and family. I need speaker for vocal and acoustic guitar using mic not pickup, any advice? Thanks

Amazing piece of gear!

I'd like to know what happens if I require a monitor or two? How would they connect? Or can you even connect some sort of a monitor or two?

the Avengers poster is so epic

if you plug in a T4S with the bluetooth connect to that mixer as well or just the ones on board?

Great information video ! Thank you One question if I may: If portability is not an issue, Should I go with standard shaped p.a speaker. And less expensive.. so I could get 2 speakers.. This is for singing, and playlists music.. Thanks

Sounds like a great investment!

This was incredibly fun to watch. 👍🏻😆 The Tom Hanks... old... 😂

Hi Mike..I've watched your reviews on the H&K ERA2 amp and ended up buying one after watching your video. Can you please tell me the difference between this Bose system and the ERA 2 with respect to sound quality and fullness? I play high end Taylors and plug directly into my H&K along with my mic. Tku!

I could imagine you can plug a digital guitar modeler like the boss gt1000 or line 6 helix for metal 🎸 😝🤘🏼

How does this stack up against the old generation’s middle Bose setup?

How do I add speakers to the old L1 portable p.a.

can I connect two L1 8 pro via Bluetooth with guitar and mic plug-in in 1 unit only? thanks

im interested in that stratocaster!

Can you hook up an electric bass without burning the twetters? or how would you connect a bass to that system? Greetings thank you

Would this be loud enough for 100 people?

Hi, in the manual of L1 compact you can use it 100 persons, in this pro 8, how many people you tour think? and if you use th tone match mixer, you have the 3 channels of the L1 pro 8 and th tonematch mix? thanks

Are you implying the Fishman SA unit is bad?

Hello Mike ,great sound and play. Do you think I can use this for . Band in a box backing , I play Chromatic Harmonica , in the field of jazz. I vant to test it for the sound. 😎Regards lennart . Sweden

Ah.. yes. Mike Dawes, the acoustic guitarerer

Hi, I've been playing with my L1 Compact for years and love it. I need the same system but with more power for venues with around 150 people... Do you think that L1 pro 8 would do the job ? I could get the L1 model 1S with a B1 for a good price so I'm hesitating... But I have read that some people say this L1 pro 8 is just as much powerful as the 1S... Does someone know about that ? Thx

Hi Mike! Great review my friend - thank you. I'm in the market now to buy myself a Pro8. (I'm too old and weak to keep carrying around my trusty and brill Marshall AS100D amp anymore - it weighs about the same as a Mini Clubman! lol) Do you know if I could I connect my TC Helicon Play Acoustic to a Pro8? Regards, Dave

Wobbling problems with the column. 3 inch sway no matter how hard you push down on it.

Is it battery operated too?

náo recomendo caixa clima Gate ativa e vc náo tera. mais som pra. tocar. pois o gate. fecha

With the panoramic dispersion, how well does it do with stereo delays and reverbs? Can it truly create the ping pong effect to such a degree that you would swear there are speakers on both sides of the room?

Is the Bose LR1 system using impulse responses for the "ToneMatch" function?

What do you think of the Blackstar Sonnet 60?

They've been making those stick systems where each person gets their own stick/small sub for a long time, and I've always been a big big fan. Plus with them also acting as your own monitor, and man do they sound SO MUCH BETTER than anything that size has any business sounding. They're loaded with a bunch of what? 4"? 5" speakers? I can't remember. Hell, as long as you didn't have some mongoloid neanderthal beating the shit out of their drums, you could even run their mic setup through a small board into it with an extra sub. Super super cool little system. They were perfect for weddings, etc. They were costly back then though. I THINK it was around 2k per stick without a sub??? 🤔 I could be WAYYYY off. This was a long time ago, but man, outfitting even a small wedding band was pretty astronomical. I find it so interesting though that the epitome back in the day was to have as big and as loud as humanly possible! Now, if we can somehow run everything through the FOH and a good set of in ears, we are pretty much going to NOTHING on stage. It's glorious teardown. 😍 I guess it's the same reason we are all getting into Fractals and Helix systems. We just get tired of lugging all that shit around.

today on "Shit i cant afford"...

hahahah muito bom , rachei de dar risada aqui .

lol Tom Hanks…

Don't buy the Bose T4s. It doesn't come with a way to plug it into the wall or power strip.
