Oh, and the thread is in the wrong place!

Having had 5h1t experience with Elixer acoustic strings, I would need my 12ft bargepole to touch the brand again.

Makes sense, if the flats are like the rounds, they look as though they have been aged 2 years in the California sun.

Thanks, I will pass that on to our singer.

What is a rehearsal?

Thanks guys, some good advice. My mic, a Sontronics Solo, has a high output, the other two, one SM58 and one XM8500 are lower. However once the gain is set I can use the channel meters to ride the virtual faders to achieve what I want. I rather think I sing louder than our lead vocalist so I need to be aware of that, and put guitarist will not get close to the mic 😔 We had a disaster last gig (see how was your PA) and I have wrestled control from the lead singer, with the backing of the rest of the band. I will let you know how it goes on Sunday/Monday.

It reminds me of some of the old Vox shapes, but it is fairly unique. Let's face it, we all buy as much with our eyes as our ears, and it looks cool.

What level do you set you backing vocals compared to the lead vocals? I have seen -6dB me mentioned but I trust the collected wisdom on here more.

Towards the end, I had some drop-outs where my sound dropped for 1 sec or so. For the last few numbers, I had the bass plugged directly into the amp. The only thing I missed was the tuner.

Yes, Monza plus Bugera and at times the Sansamp patch on my Zoom B6.

Spitting sawdust does not even come close and to add insult to injury, after wr got going again, my mic was “not working”. I managed to joke that I did not sing much in the second half. At the end he said that he did not realise how much I sang until he could not hear me. Classic comment of the night “ I have tried everything else it must be the one of the cables feeding back”. Anyway thanks again for your help, Phil.

Many of you will know that I have a decent digital mixer, reasonable speakers, passive and some active that I bought from @Phil Starrof this parish. last night I met Phil accidentally. We were both booked at a mini festival in a tiny corner of North Dorset without us knowing. Phil’s duo did a really good set and went down well. We had PA problems from the start. We could not get a decent volume on the vocal only PA without feedback. The singer/bandleader is protective of his PA. It is a Behringer powered mixer feeding two Samson speakers. I decided to move the speakers well in advance of the stage and, in moving one, It felll over bending the jack plug and sadly the jack socket. So we were running on one speaker. Phil kindly offered to loan us his RCF ART 310s but the mixer had no line level outputs. I dug into my box of goodies and my speaker to line level box was used to feed the ART310s. Not only did this improve the sound but it also cured the feedback issues. A huge thank you to Phil for going above and beyond, and for proving to our Singer that his PA is 5H1T. So two questions remain, firstly can I persuade the singer to use my gear in future and should I let Phil have his RCF ART 310s back? (only joking).

DeOxit or any cleaner can only be a temporary solution to noisy pots, any contact or switch cleaner should be used sparingly. In this case, the effects loop is two switches and the contacts can only really be accessed from within the case. For switches or switching jacks, I recommend a standard switch or contact cleaner, which is both cheaper and probably more effective. The other option, although not ideal, is to install a patch cable into the EFX loop, although even those contacts may corrode over time.

Where are you based? Someone mighty be able to take a look for you.

I have no idea but am answering to bump the question to the top of the pile.

MK2 will use the same spacing of the horizontal bars, but the PSU will be mounted in an enclosure under the board. The power sockets will be underneath, making it easier to mount pedals. I had the board on all day, yesterday in ambient 23 Celsius, without any problems. Running on batteries or the new power supply makes no difference as far as I can hear. I will get the scope on the output one day.

All installed and wired, just need to stop playing and start tidying up the cables and adding Velcro.

Almost finished, Got some cables to tidy up though and more velcro to add.

No criticism of the playing except, it was all on the higher strings of a 6 string. Hardly pushing a bass amp.

They would be alright if they stopped that AND kept their left hands away from the LH side of the keyboard.

V1.2.2 Firmware is now available. It is a maintenance release so no new features.

Silent Plugs are only available in TS or mono configuration.

It is mainly wired IEM systems. Te Behringer ones are OK, but some are not. TRS to XLR should be OK.

I bought the CQ20 for the extra (XLR) inputs and the built-in power supply.

Be aware that some IEM systems only have stereo on the XLR part of the combi input. It is not available on TRS.
