Embarrassing rookie errors….

It's not plugged in, it's not switched on, it's not turned up. 99% of gear issues solved by one of these and still I get caught out.

The 'I can't hear myself at all - so will turn everything up full and then muck about with cables and power/mute switches etc' deserves severe punishment (or at least needing to buy the band a round of drinks). It's a pet hate of mine, I know it is easily done but is real amateur hour stuff that sounds terrible if there are punters within earshot, potentially breaks equipment, and is really dangerous for hearing.

 

 

 

.....that's not to say I haven't done it myself though!
