Its from men I trust, and from info he has posted, when recording he goes straight into the desk without an amp.

IEMs are great for that too - we have a normal guitar amp and a normal drum kit, I have in ears which does both the protection and the monitoring. I hear them (they are in the mix too), but I hear me louder. It is so good to be able to hear the nuances of what you are playing one the bass (although scary when you first start) loud and clearly.

Its a bit crazy that there isn't much between the £50-300 ranges!

Or at least one of them

Yeh, I know what you are thinking, a pigeon? where is the other one. Well, at that moment he was out in the hallways, but now he is back on his clock stand where he belongs. I still don't have a camera, but in general it looks like this:

My desk is its normal state of messy, although it also has a pigeon on it at the moment, but I don't have a camera!

£10- not very micro!

Not quite seeing it - if you want a multi effect there are plenty that size, or if you want an optional single effect that you can pick from a large amount, there are plenty of options for that, that isn't this, don't want too many options, there are a lot of far cheaper ones that don't need a phone to set up. And almost all cheaper and not needing to buy the 17th onward effect. Their selling point here is 'We know everyone else has already done it, but we are boss'.

An outdoor 1 hour gig in the afternoon sun with a PA designed for the job that someone else set up less than an hour from home. Or a normal pub gig but starting at 7 instead of 9 with a responsive crowd

Not in an irrational predjudices thread it isn't!

Well, I had 10 GU10 50W light bulbs in my kitchen. i replaced them for LEDs, so now it is 25W instead of 0.5kW of lights. Looking on the net, it says the Gigbar 2 is 6x 3.5W Quad-colour LEDs + Strobe: 4x 1.8W Dual-colour LEDs plus 6x 6W LEDs. So that would be 60W if they were all on at the same time (ie, all on bright white and not cycling colours). Yes, but it is complicated and you would need to know what your duty cycle of your amp use is. I mean if you are playing a thrash song with bass / drums / vocals in the PA, you would use a lot more power than if you are were playing 7 nation army for instance, which is 80% gap. Next time you have a gig measure it, and then you will know for the following sale!

That is power put to the speaker, if they were running flat out with a constant signal. so the only way that would be the source is if your system was 100% efficient which is impossible. You are putting far less power out in volume, but using more input than a 1:1 to input power to output power. Seems a lot - how many liights do you have? ok, that is a better way of working it out, so about 800W for that?

That would be flat out with a sine wave or something going through it. Chance are it would be a 10th of that. However, for a gig, two PA speakers, mixer, pedalboards, its going to add up, especially as gigging in the cold will be less than that total value. Its going to be a 'how long is a piece of string' question, that depends on your setup. Set everything up through a power measurment plug and play for 10 minutes, multiply by 12 and see what you get!

I haven't had those but I am one for buying synth pedals and not using them, so this would be right up my street
