I use wireless all the time. It’s part of my ‘sound’. My rig is dialled to work with it. But I wouldn’t use it when I was recording - unless the band was being recorded live. If you are just sitting next to your computer/sound desk a good quality lead is the way to go?

I had a problem with the Boss working in my acoustic and the workaround was to use a TRS-TS connector. So I got a right angled one and as that also ‘worked’ on my other instruments I could use it when I felt it was sticking out a bit too much… There were also some jacks it didn’t like and it wouldn’t operate the power so I kept an assortment of washers that went over the Boss jack and made sure the power was activated. All stored in an old glasses case…

I like the Boss WL20. It has a little ‘power button’ so you can pull it in and out without the usual ‘Ccrrrggg’ if you arnt muted. Great for Open Mics where people are sharing. Most are weirded out when I just hand them a dongle 😂!. Battery lasts forever. The only issue is it’s only available on 2.4ghz. I’ve stopped using mine in a lot of pubs as I was getting interference. I now use a Blackstar Airwire which is great too - but I like the way the Boss works better!

A friend from Alaska said it was cold when you spit, it hits the ground, then ‘cracks’. They said it’s really cold when you spit, it cracks and then bounces 😂

😂 We get -5 here. Quite regularly. But the Celsius variety! You might have to scrape your car windows but it will still start without you worrying!
-
I’m taking an educated guess that you mean Fahrenheit which most people here wouldn’t ‘get’. So that’s MINUS 20! I was in -23c in NYC once, with windchill, and I was able to break off bits of the moustache I had at the time 😂.

Well, us oldies feel the cold!

Always a nice early finish! 😂

£200 is pretty normal for a pub gig here. Anymore and I’d be thinking about giving up the day job! Well, I would if I wasn’t retired….

Good idea but his mic is in 1, so the left most input. The first input. The one the furthest from the Red fader. The same f&#@in one it is EVERY time. And he still doesn’t get it 😂.

I’ve labled everything but one of the guitarists ‘needs his glasses’ so still dosent plug in the right holes 😂

I was meaning that the xr18 doesn't have any actual knobs or a screen that comes on when you power it up. I know too many people who say they've 'lost connection' for whatever reason or ended up cobbling a wired connection together for it. Doesn't seem to be the same issues with the CQ18.

Soundcheck? You mean where they sort their hair and practice the poses they want to pull?

Thanks, that's great. I do sound (if that's not obvious) and after about 2 years 'the lads' have finally realised I can tweak their individual mixes - even though I've said this at almost every gig 😂. This is leading to requests to tweak between almost every song so the 'main attraction' is the fact I can install the app on their phones and let them get on with it! I've been in a band with an xr18 in the past and loved it, but was always worried that you couldn't tweak things on the desk. The CQ18 seems to address this and gives 'the best of both worlds'.
