It's possible the compressed sound is coming from the keyboard also & thats what is being heard....But,I say if you play an array of different size venues 25pp - 500pp is my yearly range of jobs ...then you should have an assortment of sound gear to handle all of them. I carry a small & large PA everywhere I go. When I get to the gig I first go in do a quick assessment of the room size & audience. Then go back to my Vehicle and bring out excactly as much gear as I need to perform the job admirable mixing and matching gear as needed. And also it's a good rule of thumb just in case you get in a pinch when something goes wrong..or maybe a gig where your in two rooms or an outside cocktail hour and the main event is indoors.Like the boy scouts always say.."BE PREPARED"
