    I’ve heard and indeed felt the force of this rig at many a Frank Turner gig. Sounds immense.

    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

    Did you find the root cause of the Stomp failure ?
  8. mikegatward
    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 😀

    I envy your wallet, but not your back 😀

    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.

    Handy footswitch to give you FS4 and FS5 on a Helix HX Stomp or similar. Needs a TRS cable to connect Unit is velcroed and in good condition. Selling as I’ve moved to an expression pedal. UK Postage included
  18. mikegatward
    Just ordered 2 packs - thanks for heads up
  19. mikegatward
    In good working condition, just a few scuffs on the outside. 2000w rated with 2 inputs that take xlr or jack Decided to stick to traditional amp & cab so don’t need this. It’s probably a collection from Wakefield or meet up within an hour. Asking £175

    Maybe not but I don’t know of anyone who does this kind of work
  21. mikegatward
    Sadly he’s no longer doing repairs
  22. mikegatward
    E&M Electronic Services are closing the business. Does anyone know another UK repairer ? Mine has a non-working L/Mono output socket Thanks in advance

    Went to the gig at Leeds Arena last night. Went out of curiosity more than anything but wow wow wow. What a performance from everyone on stage. Colin Greenwood from Radiohead filled in for the regular guy and sounded like he’s played with them forever. Highly recommended if they are still to play any near you on this tour.
