For solo I think it is fine in small venue. I have a Crate acoustic with 3
inputs, 1 of them XLR and I'm happy with it. But I agree with your concern about
each member of a band going that route without a mixer. Talk them out of it.
Maybe OK for practicing but not for good sound - especially the vocals - in
performance.

Subject: [RESOGUIT-L] Acoustic Amps
One of the circles of folks I play with has asked my advice on sound
reinforcement for small gigs that we sometimes play and I've always leaned
toward leveraging the inexpensive PA system they already have by adding a
borrowed mixer to accomodate more mics. This worked well enough in the
past, but the group needs to buy a mixer if we continue to do this. Two of
the folks in the group own dual input amps and would prefer the other two of
us to buy our own acoustic amps and use them as individual instrument amps
and PA systems. Here are my questions: are acoustic amps with dual inputs
really designed to function as both instrument amplifiers and a PA system
(that is, using the XLR input for a vocal mic). I thought they were
generally designed so you could use both a mic and a line input to reinforce
an instrument. Do any of you use acoustic amps in this dual-purpose way?
And have you ever gigged with everybody operating their own dual input amps
as a sound system for small venue gigs? It just seems to me that it would
be a nightmare trying to balance the sounds coming out of 4 amps, especially
when they are trying to function as both instrument reinforcement and PA
system.
That said, does anyone have recommendations for acoustic amps, preferably on
the cheaper end of the scale, that work well with miced resonator guitars?
(I don't currently have an instrument with a pickup.)
Thanks in advance for your help.
