I thought that went without saying - maybe flat is a bad choice of words. I mean the same signal going to all systems without changing the eq for each system. But as Al says, it isn't an ideal environment for certain systems but if you started to make it ideal for the systems, you aren't really showing what they do, you are just showing what they can be set to do - and maybe with enough time, that is also a valid test, but it isn't the test that was being run. Maybe if we had a large concrete empty parking lot to test them in it would have been easier!

Yes, adding EQ to the sound, although you could then tune everything to the strengths is not really the point, if anything the opposite of the point, it is to show where you start and how they compare flat.

I saw steve hackets genesis revisited and it was great, same year I saw the musical box which I didn't enjoy as much.

Yeh, but if you want to see a tribute band and are prepared to pay £100 to hear them, you know what you are paying for, and I assume agree to it.

I think probably even if they didn't have pink floyd members, there aren't many groups that do pre-dark side floyd material.

Would be good, but no often you get access to some hall and a lot of speakers!

Well, an iPad mini fits in the front, as do I am sure, lots of android things too (like the fire), if you wanted to use it for that. If not, it is a great place to put your keys so you remember where you put them.

The X18 (which is what I have) is functionaly identical to the XR18 with a few connector differences (and when i bought it, quite a sizeable price difference). It just has a tray on the front that is presumably meant to hold a tablet but never actually did if you wanted to plug it in. The differences that the X18 has vs XR18 are that the 17-18 sockets are RCA vs Jack, the 6 aux outputs are TRS instead of XLR, and the X18 aerial is internal instead of sticking out. One was designed for the desk, and one for the floor. There was never an X/XR without a wifi

I must admit that having a HXFX which was way more powerful than the ME90B, I explore the 90b more, it is much more immediate, like separate effects without all the faff, but also much more restrictive, which concentrates the mind on what you actually want. I mean I would still like to use my Mod Dwarf if bass direct ever return it (to be fair they have only had it since march), but I think when I get that back I will probably stick with the 90b.

The preamp you have, is it designed for the 4 inputs? The £235 per pickup doesn't sound bad (especially if you only want one) but then you have to have a preamp that can take those inputs (and maybe adjust their relative levels)

I use the first and 4th default preset in my presets almost as they were as they were very close to what I wanted. To be fair, the first preset is almost entirely straight through with just a bit of an amp model (as I go into the DI of the PA), and the 4th worked well for 1 song. The only change I made to it was adding an overdrive to the ctrl mode.

If you store your current setup as a preset (even if you are not using it as a preset), when you switch it in pedal mode, no matter what the current position of the knobs, it will be whatever you had set, even when you turn sections on or off, until you actually move the knobs themselves, and if you do, you can work out what they were by holding edit and turning the knob until its right

Its not even one of the good epiphone thunderbirds, its the full budget bolt on one.

I use the two input one of those to take the input from my chapman stick as it also produces phantom power - the stick has a weird / clever 'active if there is phantom power, passive if there isn't' thing.

It was a duplicate post and the duplicate was delete that you were looking at ok, already answered!

I have a Zoom Q2 that I was going to bring, but I broke the connector the other day!

Oh thats perfect

Trouble with all these things, there is a limited amount of time and the sheer fact of moving these thing around. I could have also brought my Alto 312s if there had been room in the car, which I already know there is a clear difference with the Evoxes and we could have had others to maybe reduce the monoculture of the RCFs, because as good as they are, a lot of people can't afford them. But it is a lot of stuff and it would have taken @Phil Starr a lot more time to set up, and he was also running a cab build in the other room! And I do wish I bought a proper non compressing audio recorder too, but too much stuff and too little time, and when it comes down to 'do we remember the audio recorder or do we remember the biscoff cake', no one is going to thank you for the audio recorder!

I thought so too, which is a shame considering how far away from that my group is

they are both -3dB

The only thing I noticed on the evox was the boom, which I assume was the stage - I guess I am normally on flagstone floors! I also think it might have sounded better off the stage as the mid response doesn't really seem to be as strong much below or above the pole height, whereas side to side is quite a lot better (until you get to 90 degrees off axis and then it plummets). The RCFs were certainly better at highs I think, but I would have expected them to be a lot better anyway

No, I don't adjust pan, but they seem useful. I agree, that themselves they aren't worth that much although for me, if I was in the market for a new mixer, the price difference between the 12 and 18 makes the 18 a no brainer, but thats because the 12 channels and no wifi wouldn't work for me. But then it is an easy decision as Im not in the market!

I think the smart knobs seem like a good idea, touch a channel then you have gain, level and pan on knobs rather than the touch screen, with a master volume, whats not to like?

Does look nicer in black, but changing that body would move the front strap peg from the 12th fret to the 15th and I suspect the head to the floor (as well as looking worse!)

For me (in person at the event) - I liked the 745 and the Evox system equally (which is good as the evox was mine) - the 745 had more top top, the evox had more high middle, but they are not quite the same. The evox had more bass boom during the wishbone ash track, which I willl put down to the wooden stage as I hadn't heard that before. I prefered the evox on the first track, probably due to the vocals (which is a shame as that is nothing like ours), I thing the 745 sounded a bit better in the WA track because of the lack of boom. The 10" fell apart during the WA track because as soon as the bass kicked in you couldn't hear the guitars at all. Overall I was pretty happy in that I didn't feel (in person) the evox were lacking so my chase for a PA system is pretty well at an end (and I wouldn't want to carry the 745s in the first place!)
