I use a TC Electronic MojoMojo overdrive when I need just a little. Works for me...

As above... and keep your fluids intake up.

Love it...... Enjoy !!!

I travel up to the Midlands once every 7-10 days for hearsals from Bedfordshire! Just short of a 200 mile round trip. The reason is that the band are great, the gigs are generally well paid and it's a pleasure to play with them.... Don't be too hasty to knock them on the head. If it ticks all the boxes for you, you may be able to come to a compromise further down the line. Your not going to be rehearsing forever.......?

As previous, TCE Hall of Fame. Not the cheapest but that to me is out weighed by its versatility.

Please, I can't find anyone!!!

Thanks for the suggestion but I'd rather see someone in person. Mind you I may not have any option...???

We've just purchased 2 x RCF 712's and combined with 1 Mackie 1501, we are covered and gave a great sound. Previously thought we've tried Mackies, JBL and EV albeit their lower budget tops but by far, we believe that the RCF's blow them away. Had a very good deal on them too. By purchasing the official bags, the front and rear panels zip away and hold against each other during use so the main body is and always has been protected. The Mackie sub, great for what we use it for but it does weigh a lot...

Any other recommendations?

As the above mentioned, it'll look great and no doubt prolong the life of your cab BUT pair that up with the weight issue and after the first gig no doubt you'll regret it. A decent padded cover should do you. Roqsolid covers used to have the option of a sleeve being made for the front so that you could add a piece of plywood etc to help protect it.

Someone's already mentioned it but what are they like when people's phones go off in the audience, hearing aids, sound limiters etc? I'm seriously looking to go the wireless route...
