[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1474461441' post='3138180'] I'm keeping an eye on this thread as I'll be needing a studio chair soon. My wife has stipulated that if I'm to have a studio in the house, the chair can't look like an office chair. [/quote] Thats the issue for me. I need a studio chair, but find most of them too officey or way too expensive. I guess for the amount of time I'm sat in it then I should just give up and get an office chair, but like I say, not a fan of the look/space they take up.

Need a new studio chair as the current one is giving me grief. Struggling to find something comfortable, without arms, thats not ugly or crazy money. What does every one else use?

I've been using it on gigs over the summer, its been great. Also use the Mackie version which is quite good. I have iPad with dots on a mic stand mount, IEM amp mounted on the top of my mic stand and then iPhone resting on top of that. Works a treat.

[quote name='LiamPodmore' timestamp='1473247265' post='3128278'] Does anyone have any experience with [url="http://www.rev33.com"]Rev33[/url] units? I've had one delivered today and just wondering if anyone else has used them. [/quote] [quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1473250089' post='3128312'] I know of the Rev33 - I nearly bought one but not heard one - I'm a bit put off that they are tuned to the IEMs you have... which means if you change your IEMs, the Rev33 then becomes sub optimal. I know they aren't crazy money though, especially when you consider the costs of some of the IEMs that we are using. A couple of guys I know who have them swear by them though - say that their ears feel a lot less fatigued after a gig. Mind you, I don't really suffer with ear fatigue after a gig... and even if I do, it's nothing that appears to bother me! Still, would love to try one out - after all, the proof is in the eating of the pudding... or something like that.

Yeah you could do that. But it's an extra piece of gear to carry/set up etc. As nearly everyone I play with uses digital mixers I decided that bass di into PD out to the Foh mixer would provide a more immediate response through the KT platform. In reality I doubt it makes any real difference, but you know........ A drummer I work with has just purchased th gigster and loves it.

[quote name='Gunsfreddy2003' timestamp='1471854131' post='3116288'] Do you use it when not using in ears or is it really designed purely for that purpose? I was looking at the Gigster but assume you can't put the kick into that which could be a pain - out of interest did you look at the Tecamp version at all? [/quote] I almost always use in ears these days. Quite a few of my dates are with bands that have no backline on stage. What I felt I was lacking in my CIEM (6 Driver Cosmic Ears) has been made up by using the KT Platform. It adds a weight to the low end that was missing my IEM's. I found that I was cranking my IEM quite loud over the gig and now with the KT Platform thats less of an issue. The gigs I've used it on I felt more solid and planted. Personally (your milage might vary) I have always liked to feel the bass and relied on that as much as hearing it. The last few years I've moved away from big bass rigs to a small combo and letting the PA do the work. Part of this transition also included switching to in ears (partly in a attempt to save my hearing) with my combo largely being a monitor for the rest of the band. However, I miss my 8x10 (often I used to tour with 2 of them, we were loud!) and the purchase of the KT Platform was also to get a little of that feeling back. Running the kick into it is fun as well, makes you feel like your super tight with the drummer;) I'm super happy with it and if any would like to try it out you'd be more than welcome.

Just to note, I brought the Bc2 and KT platform. I felt the extra line in for kick drums etc was worth it.

I just have. It's ace, properly good. Brings back the low end thump when using in ears. https://instagram.com/p/BJWp3MKB5Vq/

New Moon are great. Not had a claim, but by far the easiest to deal with.

Tonewheels, have you got a link to the shed your buying, sounds like just the ticket for me.

How have you got on with the shed build?

Funnily enough I've just rediscovered mine, its a lovely bit of kit.

Sold Roman a multi stand case thingy. He was super easy to deal with. Would deal again

Brought a scratch plate from me. Easy and quick transaction. Recommended.
