Yeah, I think it was either the DI box or the power in the venue. Had two gigs this weekend and everything was fine using the DI from my amp.

It's probably worth saying that when I said "exactly the same set up," that it was a different physical DI box of the same make. Everything else was the same.

Tried a different kettle lead, and tried plugging into a different outlet on the same side of the stage. After that we just ditched my rig altogether! Been looking at the Palmer pli 01 or something similar, but I'm not sure this would have helped since there was no buzz coming from my cab, just the pa and monitors.

It was one of these: https://www.gear4music.com/PA-DJ-and-Lighting/BSS-AR-133-Active-DI-Box/UZ0?origin=product-ads&campaign=PLA+Shop+-+GENERIC&adgroup=GENERIC&medium=vertical_search&network=google&merchant_id=1279443&product_id=40140d1&product_country=GB&product_partition_id=142856716879&gclid=Cj0KCQiA6enQBRDUARIsAGs1YQi3Pcq-nGax6Gf6tJ4msp6Wyicg4JsUC-HbjBkS6r6doGInAZ5T5PYaAhBXEALw_wcB They also tried a passive Di box (not sure of make/model) which had the same problem, as did the DI from my amp. It was sat on top of the amp, although we did try moving it away which didn't improve things either. Should probably also mention that I run a pedalboard powered by a diago power supply.

At my gig tonight I encountered a very strange issue. The sound guys took a DI into the desk, but there was a noticeable buzz which went away if I switched my amp off. This happened even when there was nothing plugged into the amp, so I was straight into the DI box but without the link cable to my amp. I ended up doing the gig just using a wedge for monitoring. What could this be? It's like the amp is interfering with the DI box somehow. Maybe an earthing problem somewhere? The venue was Birmingham O2 academy 2 in case anyone has experienced something similar there. I had no problems last night with exactly the same setup.

V99 in Staffordshire for me. Just went for the Sunday, and chose the Manic Street Preachers over James Brown!

Watching it too. The guy on bass is incredible! Jerry Barnes apparently.

Mansun guitarist Dominic Chad became a paramedic and then a massage therapist: http://wellbeingspace.co.uk/therapist-dominic-chad/

I use my L2500 for everything. It's comfortable, versatile and sounds great. I also love the switching options as they allow you to select between two or three different sounds very quickly.

Terrible news. Absolutely incredible musician who could turn his hand to almost any style.

I have the robotalk 2 and the super fatman on my board. They're totally different sounding filters. The robotalk is super funky and you can get some really interesting sounds with both filters running together. Also great if you want a filter for slap and one for finger style. The super fatman does have a massive range of sounds, and it can do massive swells. I don't particularly like it on its own, but with and octave and a fuzz it's great for synthy tones. Can do down sweeps too, has a step filter which can be combined with the envelope and an expression pedal input.

Great band. Probably my favourite thing out there at the moment.

This does it for me http://youtu.be/FmQ8fDcGbUs
