Just to say this worked a treat lads. Everyone on stereo mixes now. Drummer has just ordered a Yamaha Ead10 solely for our IEMs as well so look forward to adding that in. We're also going to use our own mics on the guitar cabs from now on (all 4 of us have our own vocal mics) so we're going to be totally consistent from night to night. -
About 10 years ago I bought one of these, stuck some castors on the bastard and have toured it all over the UK and Europe ever since. Incredible setup! Don't sleep on this. GLWTS -
Thanks for the responses everyone. Really appreciate it. I'm guilty of overthinking audio routing etc so appreciate the reassurance!

Alright gang me again with potentially another dumb question. We're all successfully on IEMs now through our Soundcraft ui16 mixer. We've been using mono mixes but want to go stereo, 1 slight problem there are only 6 auxes (including headphones) and as we all sing we tried sharing a stereo mix but it wasn't for us. My question We're only using the unit for IEMs never FOH so can I just use the Main outs for an additional stereo IEM mix? What would the drawbacks be and how would I avoid affecting any of other aux mixes. I'm the most technical in the band (lol!) so I would lock down the other auxes so that each member can only access their own aux and I'd control the rest. Our setup will be almost identical night to night as we'll be using the same mics for everything bar the 2 guitarists. All vocal and drum mics will be the same so hopefully there won't be too much messing about. If this is a BA then we might just save up a bit more and get the ui24r but would rather not if this is possible.

Class pedal that has been on my board for a few years. Has velcro underneath and also has the rubber feet in the box. In great condition. Not looking for trades as needing to slim down my setup now I'm ampless on IEMs. These are £289 new so priced to sell. Really easy to dial in a good tone with the flexibility it has to combine both clean and dirty tones and the low compression keeps things nice and smooth. Any questions or more pics lemme know. Info from the Darkglass website: The Microtubes X7 series brings the studio method producers have been using the years to cover the whole bass distortion spectrum: from articulate high gain to punchy mild overdrive, raw and gnarly fuzz and everything in between. You now have absolute control in constructing your vision of what the perfect bass distortion texture, definition, and size should have. Controls High Pass Frequency Controls the cutoff frequency to be distorted, ranging from 100Hz (for thicker, fuzzier saturation) or 1kHz for ultra-sharp definition. High Drive Sets the amount of distortion for the high pass side. High Level Sets the output volume of the distorted high-pass signal. Low Pass Frequency Controls the cutoff frequency to be mixed back to the high-pass side. Ranging from 50Hz (for only sub-bass) and 500Hz to preserve some clean mids. Low Comp Sets the amount of compression for the low-pass signal. Low Level Sets the output volume of the low-pass signal. Master Sets the overall volume of the unit. Low shelf +-12dB @ 80 Hz 500 Hz +-12dB 1 kHz +-12dB High shelf +-12dB @ 5 kHz Dimensions Width: 94 mm / 3¾″ Length: 120 mm/ 4¾″ Height: 46 mm / 1¾″ Weight: 320 g / 0.7 lb -
Bloody Guitarists! Band moving to in ears. Help!

Cheers gang great responses. The main offender is also the lead vocalist so will need to educate him that his amp now doesn't need to be pointed at his ears set to 'stun' for him to hear himself. -
Hey folks posted this in its own thread but will give it a go here as well; Evening gang. Finally convinced the band to make the shift to in ears so we've got ourselves a mixer (Soundcraft u24i) and have all got P2s and some IEMS (as well as a full set of mics and cables). I'm now ampless and even the drummer is thinking of going to an electric kit but the 2 guitarists are not looking to ditch their amps just yet. I've explained the benefits etc but their excuse is they'll not be able to get feedback at low volumes or if they go ampless. I'm a bit stumped on how to handle this. We've always been a ridiculously loud band but this was fine as we always played bigger venues so had powerful PAs and good monitoring. We've had a 5 year break and now on the comeback trail but now back to playing small venues hence the shift. Is it a case of just stepping on a drive pedal or two (whilst maintaining volume) to achieve this feedback? It's not a massive part of our show but at the start and end of some songs we do this for effect. Anyone come up against similar reluctance or anything else that might come up? Any help greatly appreciated.

That's class Charlie thanks for sharing. Had a read through again. I feel like the bassrig into a small trees DI could be a winner but I'm really wanting to hear how a Fake Plastic Trees into a Small Trees DI would sound. More research required!
-
Hopefully he can chime in with his thoughts! I'm going ampless and on in ears soon so would be more for that 🤠

Nice one Jimmy! We'll have our own desk, probably will just use the house mics apart from we'll supply out own vocal mics to keep that consistent. Bigger shows we'll have our own engineer as well but only FOH. I have stupidly been researching the Fake Plastic Trees by Audio Kitchen and now I'm thinking of getting one of those and The Small Trees Di 🤣

Brilliant guys that's great news. Thanks for sharing your opinions.

Morning lads. Going completely ampless from July when we head off on tour for our next shows. Currently putting together an iem rig (thanks to @EBS_freakfor his amazing thread and advice) and now looking to get the 'ampless' part. Anyone doing similar i.e going straight to FOH/ears using one of these? I've seen some use other DIs and Darkglass Elements etc but ideally id like a really simple setup of tuner>preamp(DI) >FOH as my originals band is pretty one dimensional in terms of the tone I need and I'll just need to set and forget. I've had the VT Bass in the past I've loved (when going through a non SVT) and an actual SVT Skunkworks head through a Berg 4x12 but unfortunately our days of big festival stages and >600 cap venues are over plus who can be f***ed lugging big rigs about in their 40s without a road crew. I've also heard great things from the line 6 Helix online for bass. Would love to hear the experiences of those using the super vintage or the '64 playing on iems. Thanks 🤝🏼
