Its because its not actually a DI output - its a line level XLR out. Although its easily useable as a DI if you get your levels onstage first and then adjust the desk levels.

You don't send the tone shaping to the FOH sound usually. Most sound engineers prefer a clean signal for their ease of use in my experience. You can come straight out of the Quilters XLR into the desk but just have to be aware that if you change your stage volume it'll affect the signal to the desk. But you probably wouldn't be messing with that after soundcheck anyway......

The Quilter hasn't really got a DI - its an XLR output and is affected by the master volume. But its a great amp and you could always buy a BDI21 for £20 to get around it if necessary.....

Just had our gig on Saturday June 1st scratched by the venue.....to be fair they've offered an alternative though. Some football match happening that everyone's suddenly got interested in apparently 😉 Anyone due out that night may want to check with the venue.......
-
My thinking is that we spend hours travelling, setting up and tearing down so 5 or 10 minutes making sure no-one comes up after the gig and says they couldn't hear the vox or the guitar was too quiet is time very well spent. We have a no widdling policy and are very conscious the punters are probably trying to have a chat and a drink before the band starts so we try to have minimal disruption for them.

Great to hear its beginning to work out again for you Blue - it just takes a few positive things to turn it around when everything drops off and it happens to all of us at some point. Stick with it buddy..... Re levels - yes we always do a 5 minute soundcheck with me stood out front for a listen. Check the kick sound, quick spin round all the drums with the bass, check both vocal levels in monitors then add in the mains, mix the 2 guitars in and then just a spin through the verse and chorus of Rosalie to check the lot. We never change it so it stays a consistent reference point. Literally takes 5 minutes and everyone knows exactly what to do.

Just a quick heads up.... Flare Audio are doing a 2 for the price of 1 discount at the moment on their Isolate range of earplugs - 2 sets for £25 My guitarist uses them and really rates them - I normally use Earpeace plugs but for this price i'm going to have a punt on the Flares Heres the link https://www.flareaudio.com/

For sale SOLD Fender FB620 bass gig bag. Mint condition, 6 weeks old and hasn't left the house. I just picked up a Gator ProGo so this is now surplus to requirements. 20mm padding, backpack straps, lots of storage, a funky little bit inside to stop the strap button wearing through and a comfy single handle. Overall a brilliant bit of kit. Stingray not included 😉 Collection ideally from near Stansted Airport although I do travel around London, Kent, Essex and Herts for work and could possibly meet/deliver.

Mick gallantly fought his way through the traffic nightmare that is Harlow to grab a box of old porno bass magazines that Mrs Pup was trying to throw away. They have now safely been rehomed in Hatfield i believe. Top bloke, recommended 😊

Brian bought my DOD Milkbox pedal. All really smooth and no issues at all Cheers buddy!!!!

Theres no bass line on it so Phil doesn't count 😉

All 3 of those have worked for us in the past. But we’re not known as an Indie Rock covers band......
-
Me too........ours is organised, carts all the gear about from the lock up via van and reads drum music thingy so is always prepared at rehearsals. And he's a monster player too - i am blessed to play with him 🙂 Sorry, that's not really helping you is it? Front your bloke up, tell him the issues - it'll sort it one way or the other and you'll be happier in the medium term.

A mate of mine played Hop Festival last year (he plays guitar for Collateral) and had an epic gig. Beautiful summers day outdoor gig in front of about a million people - he said it was one of the best gigs he's ever done (but the way they're going i think he'll be on big festival stages like Rambling Man soon......) What band are you in?
-
We've been going down there for over 10 years so have played quite a few. But we've consciously slowed it down recently because it is a long way for us. We've done the Britannia, Birchington US, Christies, The Orb, The Windmill, quite a few private events and a few others along the way.
-
Yep it was financially very worthwhile on this occasion. I think the key to getting gigs these days is being prepared to travel a little and we have good history down in Thanet. The local Essex circuit is tied up with the same 10 decent bands playing the same 6 decent venues and bands moan they can't get enough gigs between them but they wont travel more than 30 minutes. We're right on the M25 and can travel an extra 30 minutes and get pretty much as many gigs as we want. And its nice to explore new venues and meet new people.
-
This...... They'll all have their own sound - you just need to find one you like. I've got SS/Class D that sounds really valvey, valve/AB and SS/MosFet and they're all different but in a good way. I'm happy to gig all of them
-
Ah, i thought you meant she doesn't turn up till late for the gig. I hope she's getting a round in while you're opening the second set :-)
