Gator 4U Rack Case (7" rackable height). Used but still in great condition - Clasps all work fine. Asking £45 collected from Wakefield £6 extra gets it posted mainland UK. . -
Thank you all for the really useful info i picked up an XR18 last night for £327 brand new so we’ll start planning the changeover from the Mackie Need a shallow 6u case next 😀

XR18 is below £400 now

We’re thinking of changing from the Mackie 1608 to a Behringer unit. They seem to get really good reviews. The main driver is to reduce the amount of gear we lug about. I figure I might just squeeze the XR mixer and the ADJ DMX controller into a single shallow 6u rack case. That’d be way more compact than the large top mount case we currently use just for the mixer and router. We currently run into 2 Mackie SRM350’s and a Behringer sub for 2xvocals, 2xguitars via helix and a Roland drum kit. Just a few things I’d welcome input on The XR16 is the minimum spec we could use as the XR12 only had 2 aux outputs, but for the extra money, is the XR18 worth the difference ? Is a separate router essential ? - once set up, we would rarely change anything mid-gig except maybe during an interval. Or is the built in WiFi sufficient? What apps are people using to control their mixers and does it work on an iPhone ? Thanks in advance.

This is effectively new, it’s been unpacked but never installed. Link to the item on the East website here - https://www.east-uk.com/product/j-tone/?v=79cba1185463. It's an excellent 2 band preamp that doesn't alter the passive tone of the instrument and comes with the bag of tone caps that you can use to change the passive tone. It's a very handsome version with a mix of black and chrome knobs. I still have another just like it on my Squier. Am asking £105 uk posted with payment by bank transfer or Paypal F&F -
Equipment failures - always the worst time!

Did you find the root cause of the Stomp failure ? -
Get the ABZ if funds allow. Then put a Darkglass tone capsule in it

I suspect I have similar talent and good looks 😀

Selling my trusty smooth hound wireless system due to a Xmas pressie upgrade. Bad news is I can’t find the mains power supply but most folk run these from their pedalboard anyway and the appropriate cable is included. The slightly better news is that there is a second transmitter included. However, the jack is quite loose but can probably be tightened by someone familiar with these units. The receiver has been velcroed so there is a little residue on the bottom of the unit. Asking £60 uk posted-

Elles Bailey was very good at Leeds Brudenell Club recently. Nice person to talk to as well as very talented

Brilliant - I don’t store the speakers so had no idea there were any fixings on the top. Thanks for telling me.

Really like the idea of mounting a lighting unit on top of the PA speakers but we use Mackie SRM350’S which just have a lift handle. Any bright ideas how I could mount onto that ?. Some kind of giant bulldog clip would be needed

If you lived near me, I’d buy you a pint for that answer 😀 -

Not sure if it counts but best purchase was spending £70 getting both my HX Stomp (L/Mono output not working) and Morningstar MC6 ( switches sticking) repaired.
