I agree, the Sansamp BDDI does scoop the mids a little, but I compensate with the amp's EQ, or push the treble+presence to about 2 o'clockish, the blend to about 3 o'clockish and the drive at 5 o'clock for a fairly heavily over driven sound without losing too much bottom end. It's the best tubey/overdrive I've heard without carrying about a 35kg SVT-CL.

Just a quick question. Would this work/be sensible: 3 x Vocal Mics + Bass Pod + 1 x mic for stage sound (drums not mic'd and guitar amps have no DI outs) no FOH output into mixer AUX out into heaphone amp for in ear monitoring Main outs into PA We're only a small band, playing small gigs, but I'm keen to keep the amount of gear we have to hire/lug around to gigs to a minimum and taking a couple of monitors and a bass amp out of the equation seem like a good place to start? Anyone else do anything similar or am I being ridiculous?

Just done our first covers gig for a mates 30th in a nice little coffee shop in the centre of Liverpool and I'm absolutely exhausted! Loaded in Friday night at 7, set up and soundchecked today at 5.30 and did two half our sets: Audioslave - Cochise Stereophonics - Vegas Two Times Sabbath - Paranoid Supergrass - Richard III Zepp - Immigrant Song Stones - Gimmie Shelter AC/DC - Highway to Hell Wolfmother - Woman Bad Company - Feel like Making Love Hendrix - Hey Joe / Voodoo Chile Kings of Leon - Molly's Chambers Foos - The Pretender ZZ Top - La Grange Deep Purple - Black Night AC/DC - Back in Black Queen - Tie your Mother Down Went really well, probably couldnt have played it better and we're all mightily relieved! It's hard to guage how good you're recieved when you play to your mates are they're more likely to be positive than negative, but I know we've got work to do and there were some honest and frank comments about certain songs! I've got to start learning to sing more songs while playing, no mean feat. Also gave us an idea of what the average person will respond to, so we'll start to pick songs which should in theory go down well (but still within our parameters - ie. if we get that "Summer of '69" vibe about a song, we dont play it!) Anyway, I'm going to try and sleep, but with all this adrenalin buzzing about me and that post-gig ringing in my ears, I'll probably struggle...

Me, looking miserable about something..? You might think it would be the Laney RB9 sat on top of my old Genz, but I could end the world with that combination!

Rich bought my Genz Benz cab from me, lovely guy, easy transaction. [i]I want the cab back :*([/i]

Bought a pair of Acme B2s from John. Lovely fella, cabs as described, highly recommended!
