Thanks Bas. I think the GX10 is a much better device than the GP-50 for you. As good as the GP5/50 are, they lack the versatility that a lot of other pedals have, especially the Zoom stuff. For me thats what im looking for. Each time i get something like a Zoom i seem to spend so much time messing about with it. I find the GP-5 to be set and forget. Ive been using it with a band and find i dont touch it at all, once its on its on and i just use a footswitch to turn drive or modulation no and off. No adjustment's made. I expect the same will be true with the GP-50, although its nice to be able tweak things on the fly. Just minor adjustments. I do find the NAM/Snaptone stuff to be very good, and i find i don’t use the Amp/cab sims, which i feel are a bit limited. These days i tend to keep a lot of the cheaper stuff i have, but do prefer to off load the more pricey stuff. I expect the EBS Microbass 3will fall in to the later category now. Seeing as i just spent £1400 on a new keyboard, i raraly have bass GAS these days. Very much settled down in that respect. Good luck with the GX10.

My GP-50 arrived today. It does sound exactly the same as the GP-5, but sooooo much easier to use. No need to use the App at all, except for one thing. The so called onboard drum machine is nothing more than 10 different patterns of high hat. So basically a metronome. You still need the app to get any proper drum patterns. I dont intend to use this feature, but I find it very misleading (it is mentioned in the manual, but easy to miss until you get one and try and get some drum patterns going). Still, that aside, it's a keeper. I wont even need to use the Chocolate Plus now.

I use stereo and have a full stereo mix of the band in my IEM. Each guitar panned to opposite sides, bass in the middle, kick in the middle and overheads/rest of kit as a stereo spread. Lead vocal in the centre and BV’s panned off centre. I love this set up. -

They seem to be a good budget choice. I have a set as a back up, and have used it a few times without issues.

My last post just got me thinking. Does anyone know if i can add a fader in Mixing station to control the overall level of a monitor being controlled from a P-16, or better still, just mute it? i had to play music between sets at the last gig and on stage it was really loud, but out front hardly anything. He had left his monitor on and i just couldn’t tell if the FOH was even on. At the moment the music is streamed from my laptop, which is also my sound source, so he has to have this in his monitor while we are playing. If it were a separate device then obviously he could have that always muted.

My old drummer was a real Luddite, and in a way still is, but the tribute band he is in have just invested in an XR18 and a few bits just for IEM/stage monitors. They always use a house PA but have struggled with monitors. It took me a while to explain what can be achieved these days, and they (he) built a small IEM rack, based on the XR18 and a couple of splitters. For less than £500 they will never really have to worry about monitors again. Even the drummer in my band, who admits he is a dinosaur and refuses anything to do with IEM, has just brought a P-16 for his floor monitor. The downside to this is he had it really loud at the last gig and i had no control over it. I’ve banned anyone else getting one. We use 3 powered floor monitors and i shudder to think how loud they will be pushed.

Yeah, it’s just for IEM, as i agree with you, it just add’s a bit of air to the sound, especially nice in stereo.

This is what i do for my IEM mix. We use one reverb for FOH, and a separate one for IEM mixes. I have a bit on the bass and a bit more on the vocals. While we can just have the reverb to FOH or IME, or both, i prefer to keep the two separate. I prefer a shorter reverb in the IEM mix.

Noticed Andertons now have stock. My Amazon order is due on Thursday so I’ll stick with that.

It does sound like a fit issue to me. Maybe at the next one walk away as far as you can and see if the sound changes. Yes, with MS you can open it in personal mixer mode, you just select which buss you want to control, or can chose your Aux feed on the home screen and get the same result. Id also recommend an app called MX-Bus. This is designed just for using with monitor/IEM mixes, and doesnt get you to the main FOH screen. a bit easier to use on the flay IME.

Thats what we use. One idea is you could use the built in Amp sim on your channel of the IEM. This gives it a bit of life. My bass player DI's in to ours, and the bass sounds ok to me in my IEM's. Not spectacular, but as its a direct input with nothing as far as FX goes, its a sound I would be happy with if I was were playing bass. I'd say if the Guitars are sounding ok (and the drums?) then it could well be the fit of the IEM's or a drastic EQ making you lose the low end. Ive had occasions where my IEM mix has got drowned out by the stage volume and its sound awful, but re seating the IEM's fix it. I get a good fit, but if I shout or smile too much I find the fit can loosen a bit, and that can let too much noise in.

Please tell him I am patiently waiting for his GP-50 review 😂
