The only reason I swapped my Monaco for a Monza was weight and size.

I stupidly made the board before measuring my pedals. I might make this my "small board" and make another to make the layout easier. I have some more PCBs for the power supply, so keep your eyes peeled in a month year or two.

My homemade pedal board with built-in power supply. The perspective is a bit skewed as all the pedals are level with or inside the edges of the pedal board. For anyone that knows the mic mechanic, I don't use those settings. Just for info, the power is from two 550mA discrete switch mode power supplies. The IEC input is on the right-hand side. The two left-hand power sockets to the Zoom and the Thomann wireless system are connected to one power supply, and right-hand sockets supply the Mic Mechanic with one socket spare. I designed it that ways as on the usual cheap power supplies, there is noise induced from the Mic Mechanic to the Zoom.

They need to US price $49 Europe £75. Over twice as much in today’s exchange rate.

Like @Phil Starr, I am the happy owner of an LFSys MONZA. In the early stages of development I tried what is now called the Goodwood. I am sure that will do what you need very well. Contact @stevie, either on here or via LFSys.co.uk. He’ll surely give you good advice.

It is common sense Phil,

I did not realise that out BL had another band!

Rotosound?

When I make cables, for me or someone else, I always fit a cable tie. It drives me mad winding a cable and finding nowt to keep it coiled.

I don’t know but am interested to read the replies.

Use a centre punch to stop the drill wandering.

Another day, another Legion. Used my analogue mixer for this one as the Singer likes to be able to turn himself up as we get louder later on. Quicy set up the levels on both mains and monitors. All good until, he twiddled and we got feedback. Then he commuted the cardinal sin of cupping the sphere on his SM58. Deep joy, more feedback. The analogue desk goes back in its box next week and the singer will join it if he does not behave.

I have a few odds lights and one of those generic DMX controllers. I have set up a number of chases and scenes but will admit that the DMX learning curve was steep. Coming from an audio background, the fact that the “faders” were not light intensity/volume but rather DMX values. Add the fact that each brand, and even models within a brand have a different DMX protocol and we are back to my favourite pastime, balloon squeezing. That is where a small change causes unexpected changes elsewhere. One model of mini par had a very good manual except that the DMX protocol had changes mid and nobody had told marketing when they proof read the manual. I saw @Phil Starr‘s lights a few weeks ago at a mini festival we both played and while it was not really dark, they did seem to pack a punch visually.

No Bingo just a 30 minute break. I. Fact my Legion (we played there last week) also fired not have bingo just a cash raffle.

Had the third of 5 Saturdays in a row for us. Another British Legion ( put your preconceived ideas away). Long narrow room next to a lounge bar that was pumping out Sabbath and Ozzy tracks in a belated tribute. As usual setup was tight and so I had no time to take photos and the better half will not put down her drink to take photos in case it is spiked Again the reduction to a four piece means.we are are much tighter and really enjoying ourselves It is holiday time so the crowd was a little sparse but they seemed to enjoy themselves.

I saw the video some time ago and it did concern the bigger x32 variants. However from what I remember, the ADCs were different.

My mistake.

Dave Rat checked the X32 and the Midas version and found the Midas version to have quieter pre-amps and A-Ds. Have you noticed any difference?

Most of Music Tribe’s designs are original, or as original as electronic circuits can be. Electronic components are like bricks and you can build houses and circuits in a number of ways but few are truly original. Some, like Dolby have somehow ma aged to claim and receive IP rights on their circuits but they are the most prominent in a small group.

I was watching a YT review of a Bass Fly Rig and the reviewer said he could not do without chorus. I lovr the sound of chorus but how well does it work live, and on what type of song?

Sorry, no pics as I was still setting up until three (as in the three in 1,2,3,4). The Rebbels had a very good gig at my local Legion, in front of all my friends. People that have seen us many times said we had the sound we ever have, although we had to run without on stage monitoring, due to feedback problems. Legion in the next Village next Saturday.

That is all wrong, mixed driver sizes, side by side not stacked and Ampless sorry Ampeg. I bet it sounded grewat.

We supply our own mics and the monitors are mine. The singer has an SM58, I use a Sontronics Solo and the guitarist has a Behringer XM8500. My mic is a super-cardioid and the others are cardioids. The Singer and I have good mic technique, but I keep trying to get the guitarist to sing closer to the mic.

Further to the comments, I remember a gig where the stage was so small for us as a 5 piece that we had to place the monitors at the side. I seem to remember a very nice monitor sound. The monitors I use have a 60x60 dispersion on the horns, so I should have realised that we were firing at our feet. Make some new wedges to angle them at our ears next week. One other thing was, actually two other things, the thumb screw from one of the 12" tops was missing, and the other would not tighten, the thread had stripped. I could contact the seller, but he would deny all responsibility. They had been loaned to the guitarist for a recent gig of his occasional band, but I had not checked them before lending them out. I had a spare M8 machine screw and ran it through the insert in the cabinet. It went in easily at first, but just before getting to the end of the insert is stiffened. Using the correct sized spanner, I gently tried to use the screw to clear the thread. It did finally go through, and so I was happy to search for new Thumb Screws. Despite searching for local suppliers, only Mr Bezos Emporium had the right size and they will be arriving tomorrow.

I would be there in a shot if I could, who said the dinosaurs are extinct?
