Oh! And a laminated print of this lives under the mixer. 40% of the band (inc me) can achieve this

Good stuff here folks. Yes, everyone needs to chip in with carrying and plugging etc… and then STOP and let the bass player mix it. End of. Only game in town. Why we’re best suited to this I don’t know: but there it is. Leaving it to eg keys has resulted in eg mic’ing the kit o/h and racks with condensers and not engaging phantom. I’ve drummer-proofed (well, y’know… as much as one can) our setups by getting all of the cables out into piles, out of the way of where people are lugging amps around, shortest to longest left to right: XLRs 1m, 3m, 6m, 7m, 9m, 10m IECs 2m, 2.5m, 5m Male XLR to Jack adaptors Female XLR to Jack adaptors EDIT: Sure, they’re balanced. I’m not an animal. I always run power around the stage after checking socket polarity and plugging breakers into the wall. Else, the band build a small electric fire for me. Monitor chaining across two auxes remains beyond the reach of m’colls so I do that. Tricky, because the XLRs go “not the same way as for microphones”

Mercy! That’s a blast from the past!! The ultimate float mic back in the day… nothing better, somehow! Good call.

I’d wondered what that was used for! Great song. Love that bass line so much

Howay man! You must have a good 1/4” clearance there! 😝

It's a keys thing, this. It's taken years to train ours. Used to come out with things like "I need a kettle (power) lead". Eventually the response became "yes, so do I... that's why I bring the leads I need with me" 😄

So let’s REALLY ‘fess up… how many of us have messed up The Chain. You know the bit. Me, for one!

Oh I wouldn’t worry about that. I’ve been left with my d*** hanging in the breeze playing CLTCL sooo many times. Audience + audience having consumed alcohol is always my friend here. Also, stand next to a s*** guitarist. That helps 😆

Ha ha! I’ve done exactly that as well!

They are brilliant, aren’t they?! For anyone wanting to do midi stuff it’s got to be worth a look, esp. for £30 and Prime returnable.

That’s good to know! I wish the Mini had been on sale when I bought mine…

Massively late to this thread but surprised no one suggested the M-Vave Chocolate? My lad uses one with eg MainStage, Gargaeband on a Mac for this sort of thing. Cheap as chips too!

Had one of these: similar sounding fault turned out to be bad joint on the input jack. Never had mine overheat but then to be fair it rarely got cranked hard!

Great stuff… I love those Ibanez fellas, I’d forgotten about them! I want one now…

Good work! And best user name I’ve seen in a while!!

NICE artwork!!

Nice! Like Boss, always good stuff. Very neat power distro thingy there… what is it, please?

Not last night yet BUT - I just turned my volume up when no one was looking HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! How you like it geetards? I’ll win…. Mine’s bigger than yours AND the PA. Let’s all practice together - “no, I haven’t touched it, same as it was when we sound checked”

Ghostbusters? I cheat and use a synth patch octave down and then play it up the dusty end!

Sorry I failed and went silent on this! Glad it does what’s expected. Sort of!

I think that’s right. The Big Muff Deluxe is a brilliant pedal!

Superb gig with Clutching at Straws, Horseshoe, Thurlby. Ticketed Halloween do, couple of one hour sets. We played great - all party bangers all night and the sound was good. Key’s son brought his harps along and he can WAIL. Usual Dimension, GK, Barefaced.

Turning the treble down, if that’s an option for you, can also help with tracking sometimes

Nice. Will be checking that out on my next stay at Byfords. I absolutely love Norfolk… out of season! Good on them for going local with beer (easy) and wine (not so easy… not classic vine country, is Norfolk!)
