This thread needs more pics!

This reminds me... back in the days of originals bands on shared bills (especially fun at battle of the bands), we used to feign a nightmare situation over a shared kit. Laws of the land = shared kit, bring cymbals/snare. Our drummer turns up to the venue... "Oh, I'm left handed..." Much groans etc. Sound guy looking peeved at the prospect of doing a kit switch around. Me - "Oh Rich, FFS, just play it right handed. I'd like my own amp but can't bring it. Just deal with the situation. Don't be such an amateur". Soundcheck comes... Rich (drummer) deliberately plays shite and you can see the amusement on the faces of all the other bands (especially in a battle of the bands (ugh) situation). For optimum effect, he made sure that he dropped at least one stick through the first fill. We eventually go on stage.... Rich has more groove, tricks and pyrotechnics than a fireworks factory. And that is how a (non lefty) drummer intimidates the hell out other drummers.

I'll be there doing the Custom IEM thing if anybody interested in learning more - or trying any stuff out.

Here you go - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/50-100pcs-3mm-5mm-LED-Diode-Clear-White-Red-Blue-RGB-Light-Emitting-Diodes-Lamp/202717758478?var=502845008360&hash=item2f32eb840e:m:miGcURJ96LGXGEFlCh0UjOQ Using the specs in the listing - Color Lens Type Dominant W avelength (Unit:nm,IF=20mA) Forward Votage (Unit:V,IF=20mA) Luminous (Mcd) Viewing Angle 2θ 1/2 Typical Typial Max Red Water Clear 620 2.0 2.2 10000 30 Orange Water Clear 600 2.0 2.2 6000 30 Yellow Water Clear 585 2.0 2.2 6000 30 Green Water Clear 520 3.0 3.2 8000 30 Blue Water Clear 468 3.0 3.2 8000 30 Purple Water Clear 395 3.0 3.2 400 30 White Water Clear 6000-6500k 3.0 3.2 12000 30 Warm White Water Clear 3000-3500k 3.0 3.2 14000 30 Pink Water Clear x=0.38,y=0.18 3.0 3.2 8000 30 I've highlighted the line in question so the figures are in red. Using the array calculator (inputs 42v, 3.2, 20, 6)... you'll still get the same result. So these LEDs are good. As I say, make sure you get the right resistor though. Is not too hard - for chaining LEDs, solder the shorter leg, the cathode (negative), to the longer leg, the anode (positive) of the next LED. Make sure you heatshrink to prevent shorts. R

Ah yes, I remember now. EBS always tend to use weird voltages - same with their fans. http://led.linear1.org/led.wiz Using the above, you'll be able to arrange a 6 blue LED array. (42v, 3.3, 20, 6 as the inputs) Solution 0: 6 x 1 array uses 6 LEDs exactly +42V R = 1200 ohms The wizard says: In solution 0: each 1200 ohm resistor dissipates 480 mW the wizard thinks 1W resistors are needed for your application together, all resistors dissipate 480 mW together, the diodes dissipate 396 mW total power dissipated by the array is 876 mW the array draws current of 20 mA from the source. To be safe, I'd get a 1.2k Ohm resistor with 1W rating.

I forgot off the top of my head. Can you tell me what’s written on the bulb? I can give you the required if you give me the spec. (blue LEDs always look great in a Fafner)

ACS are great for filtered earplugs, especially if you can get them through the link that WoT posted above.

Yeah! Decent. I like.

Of course, the correct move in your position would be to insist that the wedge stays!

@dave_bass5 - thanks! I've got a question for you though - what's the concern with you going down the IEM route?

Anybody got any extra stuff they want to see adding in?

Well, they didn't see it like that...

Happens to the best of us. I got booted when the originals band I was in landed the opening slot for the Blur reunion gigs. Mysteriously the original bass player was reinstated - not surprising as they were all childhood friends and I was the 18 month newbie to the band. Ragin'. Still, silver lining, they never got anywhere and disbanded soon after.

You can keep wet and drying back to a satin/matte finish.

Its doable - but will go shiny over time.

They are essentially the same. The top ones are the newer versions.

Funny - I’m the opposite, I like the Woojer - but the Woojer with a transducer, one of each, on my hips.

How you get on?

Enjoy! Good fun.

Condenser mics don't have to be anything special. A Behringer C2 or two will do you.

A condenser mic (with the highs rolled off) on a mic stand. Job done.

Funnily enough, I've just put something up about the Zoom H6. The other thing I'm going to be writing about is splitters and using stuff like the Behringer P16I.

Forget the bulb. Replace it with a LED and resistor. It'll never fail (you'd hope) again. You can then have whatever colour glow you want (well, if you can find the appropriate coloured LED).

Clean after EVER performance people! It takes seconds Just like you go for a pee in between sets... give your IEMs a quick clean!

A few seconds on a polishing wheel would take those out.
