Are you connecting directly to the mixer or through an external router? I do the latter with Ethernet and don’t have to select direct connection in MS.

On the back of that question, is the effect the same (more or less) as having a slightly loose earpiece, or is there more to it? i know i lose a lot of low end when one of mine gets a bit unseated. -
What were you expecting? Why did you buy it? It could well be you don’t need it. I got mine because i wanted an Ampeg vibe through the combo’s i use at rehearsals, and wanted a bit of OD and modulation all in one small box. The GP-5 and now 50 provide exactly what i need. I don’t bother using either at home as i use other things. They aren the best ive ever had, and are quite limited compared to the Zoom's and Helix etc, but as an all in one package it fits my needs perfectly.

Had a couple of similar gigs myself recently, so also got an adapter for LAN. Fortunately im on iOS and it works without issues

Ive already lost mine 😂. Going to buy another (few). -
Although i still buy bits and pieces (probably up to about 10 preamp pedals this year), ive not been keeping them. I like using a preamp that adds something to the basic tone, but can easily get by without if I had to. In fact the best two gigs ive done this year were with me just going direct in to a supplied bass combo. Its nice toy have toys, but since ive been playing keys in a few bands on and off, and all the bassist ive played with use nothing other than a bass and cable, it made me realise the Rabbit Hole is a very deep one, but doesnt really need visiting.

Thanks Bas. I think the GX10 is a much better device than the GP-50 for you. As good as the GP5/50 are, they lack the versatility that a lot of other pedals have, especially the Zoom stuff. For me thats what im looking for. Each time i get something like a Zoom i seem to spend so much time messing about with it. I find the GP-5 to be set and forget. Ive been using it with a band and find i dont touch it at all, once its on its on and i just use a footswitch to turn drive or modulation no and off. No adjustment's made. I expect the same will be true with the GP-50, although its nice to be able tweak things on the fly. Just minor adjustments. I do find the NAM/Snaptone stuff to be very good, and i find i don’t use the Amp/cab sims, which i feel are a bit limited. These days i tend to keep a lot of the cheaper stuff i have, but do prefer to off load the more pricey stuff. I expect the EBS Microbass 3will fall in to the later category now. Seeing as i just spent £1400 on a new keyboard, i raraly have bass GAS these days. Very much settled down in that respect. Good luck with the GX10.

My GP-50 arrived today. It does sound exactly the same as the GP-5, but sooooo much easier to use. No need to use the App at all, except for one thing. The so called onboard drum machine is nothing more than 10 different patterns of high hat. So basically a metronome. You still need the app to get any proper drum patterns. I dont intend to use this feature, but I find it very misleading (it is mentioned in the manual, but easy to miss until you get one and try and get some drum patterns going). Still, that aside, it's a keeper. I wont even need to use the Chocolate Plus now.

I use stereo and have a full stereo mix of the band in my IEM. Each guitar panned to opposite sides, bass in the middle, kick in the middle and overheads/rest of kit as a stereo spread. Lead vocal in the centre and BV’s panned off centre. I love this set up.
-
They seem to be a good budget choice. I have a set as a back up, and have used it a few times without issues.

My last post just got me thinking. Does anyone know if i can add a fader in Mixing station to control the overall level of a monitor being controlled from a P-16, or better still, just mute it? i had to play music between sets at the last gig and on stage it was really loud, but out front hardly anything. He had left his monitor on and i just couldn’t tell if the FOH was even on. At the moment the music is streamed from my laptop, which is also my sound source, so he has to have this in his monitor while we are playing. If it were a separate device then obviously he could have that always muted.

My old drummer was a real Luddite, and in a way still is, but the tribute band he is in have just invested in an XR18 and a few bits just for IEM/stage monitors. They always use a house PA but have struggled with monitors. It took me a while to explain what can be achieved these days, and they (he) built a small IEM rack, based on the XR18 and a couple of splitters. For less than £500 they will never really have to worry about monitors again. Even the drummer in my band, who admits he is a dinosaur and refuses anything to do with IEM, has just brought a P-16 for his floor monitor. The downside to this is he had it really loud at the last gig and i had no control over it. I’ve banned anyone else getting one. We use 3 powered floor monitors and i shudder to think how loud they will be pushed.

Yeah, it’s just for IEM, as i agree with you, it just add’s a bit of air to the sound, especially nice in stereo.
