"Fender Passport Venue -- Top of the line..."

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I upgraded from a Passport 150 Pro (which I still use as my monitor system.) I found all aspects of the Passport Venue to be greatly improved. My main complaint is that you NEED the subwoofer (Fender PS 512) to complete the system. There is an obvious notable difference in the system with and without the subwoofer. I love the USB record feature, which I now use to make recordings of my live sound which I can then use to make higher quality videos. The 'guitar input' feature could be better. Fortunately my pedal board improves the volume and tone of the guitar so that I can use my system without an added guitar amp. I can still use my guitar amp, of course, but I can get by with only the Venue (and, my Passport 150 Pro as a monitor.) Also, I can connect to the 'house PA' much better and easier, due to the 1/4" mono feed that the Venue provides. Just remember, you'll need the subwoofer, too, to complete the system.

Musical Background:

I play many instruments. I've been playing since I first came acroos Jimi Hendrix, which was way back in 1968.

Musical Style:

Blues, and all things derived from blues. Jeff Healey and Gary Moore (besides Jimi) are my mentors.
