Default Roland AC90 for jazz guitar and vocals ?

Hi, I use a Roland AC33 for small gigs with a Godin Kingpin archtop
guitar and i plug a mic into it for vocals, it's not bad but in some
situations it's not loud enough,


By "not loud enough", do you mean that even if you turn the volume
knob 100% clockwise you're not getting enough volume? Or do you mean
that it's going into overload before it has enough volume?


The latter is a sign of insufficient power; the former has nothing to
do with power but everything to do with voltage gain. Very different
issues.


even if i turn the volume to max it's not loud enough, no overload
occurs though but the mic does tend to feedback but thats positioning
i think.


You probably need an in-line cable transformer, 1:5 to 1:10 ratio comes to
mind, Sennheiser had a product range in the old days, Shure probably
likewise and may still be making them.

That said, something like this may be a wizer way to spend money:

The passive version is smooth and carries voice well, for your context the
active version may be more relevant. One box on a stick behind you may or
may not work, one for the audience and one as monitor may be better, but
also costs and weights more
