Spoke to technical dept at Behringer and they assure me that I will be able to use four separate aux send mixes. Yes they will be in mono, but not a problem, yes 2 of them are post fader by default, again not a problem. Mixer has now arrived. I will unpack tonight and experiment and will report back. If it isn't the case it will have to go back to Behringer. ATB Paul.

My band have just got into IEM.... best thing we ever did. We use a wired system to keep expenditure down. Using a 4 channel Behringer headphone amp running off a Tascan digital portastudio. I had ACS ear protector moulds made for me last year, and just converted them to IEM's.... sounds great. At present we all share one mix. We are about to advance to having our oun individual mix (care of a Behringer X2442USB Mixer) which will be a great development I think. ATB Paul.

Hi Guys, thanks for the info on Jam Hub, looks really interesting. Whilst I am sure you are all right about turning down, but we are a rock band as opposed to a folk band and the monitoring method, for me at least, has many other implications which might seem onerus initially but I believe pay dividends. Anyway hopefully rehearsing this weekend (if the heasdphone amp arrives from Thomann in time) with the new monitoring setup and can report back next week. Cheers, Paul.

Our band suffers from not getting a decent sound in the rehearsal room and a recent experience of recording ourselves has led us to consider setting up in a similar way for all rehearsals and gigs, using headphones initially in rehearsal and then perhaps using wired earphones for gigs (so we don't look totally disconnected from our audience). Looking at headphone amplifiers we realise that generally you get one mix, if being fed from a basic mixer, though with aux in's it is possible to personalise a mix a little. Plusses include the protection of hearing, getting a really good quality foldback, hearing everything that's going on, and getting a good recording too. Not sure about the disadvantages except the extra hassle of setting up. However it could mean rehearsing without needing to use PA which is a plus in terms of time spent setting up and adjusting. Our plan would, in time, be to move to an 'in ear monitor' wireless system, but at present that seems a bit of a jump and an expensive one. Would really appreciate your comments, ideas, or similar experiences. Cheers, Paul.

Wow!

I'm using a classic Stingray c/w Aguilar TH500 & 2 SL112 cabs, playing classic rock. Tend to max out bass on guitar and have treble about +2. On the amp I cut the lower mids, boost bass and have treble at 0. I find this sound really cuts through especially across all the string and up the neck, also it gives a big fat bottom end to our sound, which is also well defined owing to the Gramma Pad on which the rig sits. Hope this helps. ATB Paul.

The Fullerton Reissues '82 to 85 were all nitro just as the pre CBS's. Sometimes they turn up at a good price, though considerably more than the roadworn. [attachment=133484:1310134490-IMG_9958.jpg] [attachment=133485:1310134339-IMG_9969.jpg]
