Dave We’ve been using in ears exclusively for the last 3 years and I’ve used one of these instead of an amp probably done over 200 gigs without any issues whatsoever. There are undoubtedly better and much more expensive Options out there but for the price these are reliable and great value. My intention was originally to use it as a short term solution in case I couldn’t get use to in ears , but honestly never seen a reason to upgrade cheers Steve 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southend was a blast - around 1100 people in and well up for a good night. The Cliffs Pavilion is a big theatre with a good sounding room and great staff, so a good night had by all. Managed a drink or two afterwards, although we went to the wrong hotel at first - apparently there are 2 Premier Inns in Southend, and very close to each other! Next up was Retford Majestic, a much smaller venue but sold out. Again, a great sounding room and and not our usual PA, but it sounded great nevertheless. ( I’m the only person on stage who doesn’t use IEM’s, so the only person who can hear any changes in the FOH sound. ) Then last night we were at The Winding Wheel in Chesterfield. Near capacity crowd and another good one. Local gig for some of our band and crew as well, and I was home for midnight too. I've just seen you're playing The Core in Solihull next weekend, both nights sold out there as well. I'll have to keep an eye out for when you're next there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As its only for sound effects i'm looking for a cheaper pre-amp / DI pedal in fact a DI pedal would probably do the job and let the desk do the EQ. Dave I use a basic di for acoustic gigs. A new pre amp di would probably be nice but it's not really urgent. Daryl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, in theory the Ampeg di/pre amp seems really cool. Dave what would I really be getting for my hard earned $400.00. I don't think it will change my life.

martthebass Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 The awesome Farmyard rally in Helmsley yesterday. First on the evening bill as we know how to get a party started. Only 10 in the marquee just before we came on but a good couple hundred as we came on and double that before the end of the set. It was hotter than hell in there - the big hair didn’t help! Being on early did have the bonus of being able to catch some of the other bands, Women in Rock were particularly awesome. Will post some pics as they come in…..in the meantime here’s the Mustang brothers. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msb Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Festival gig last night with a bunch of Dutch Mason alumni doing a tribute to Dutch. He was quite the legend in the Canadian blues scene. Saw a lot of old faces , and players I hadn’t seen for a while. Dutch alumni are not a terribly exclusive lot , he played with most everybody here on the east coast at one time or another. It was a great night! 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 (edited) Altho not strictly a gig last night with punk band Emergency Exit we played to a small intimate audience of family and friends while setting up the gear for a gig tonight in a friends very large house in Wanlockhead. He was having a birthday party for his brother on Sat night and said we could all come down on Fri afternoon and set up the gear, have a BBQ and a few beers and if we want to play a few songs even better so we did. I was driving as i live 25mins away so no beer for me. Back there tonight for the actual gig which is a freebie hence the BBQ thrown in last night for us. We occasionally rehearse in his function room if its not leased out that week. Cracking big house too currently building a pool on the end. Driving again tonight so no beers for me but the rest of the band are staying over and drummer lives in same village within staggering distance We can leave the gear there and pick up on Sunday too so no carrying lots of gear thru lots of sweaty bodies at end of the night. Last time we did this kind of party it went on until 4am. Way past my bed time especially when sober. Should be a great wee night and i'll update tomorrow on how it went.

moley6knipe Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) Meh. After the last one with 4 Play (I know, I know) last night’s (Greyhound pub, Sutton Bridge) was so so. Singer man still not sure on arrangements and introduced his acoustic. Too many variables. Also: we play for like 45 mins and take a break… wha? No no no, just keep playing! Plus sides: I mixed the guitar and associated BVs at a sensible level rather than the +245dB usually favoured by said stringed instrument wielder. Sounds, erm, better that way! Three weekends in a row coming up with Clutching at Straws, the big boy cover band. Stocked full of musicians and able to make ANY room dance… two gigs next Saturday, following weekend Sunday afternoon at Rock on the Rec Stamford (45 min beer festival sets are what we were born to do. Start with Mamma Mia* and turn the wick up from there. Lights, PA, plug in and play. Few will emerge unscathed) and a wedding the following Saturday at our mate Malcolm’s personal pub. Excellent. Can’t freaking wait. As usual this weekend Fender Dimension > GK > Barefaced for the win. Betty needs new strings for her busy month ahead. * worth noting that Timbo and I Agnetha and Frida in the original key. We’re male, and in our 50s and late 40s respectively. I give myself an attaboy every time we play it. Edited June 18, 2023 by moley6knipe 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BreadBin Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 An early set for a friends birthday. We arrive and alarm bells immediately ring, we are to set up on grass in front of a PA rigged for DJs, outside in the baking hot sun... No flat surface for the drums, and as soon as we chuck a mic up its feedback city. Luckily the guy providing the sound is a smart and resourceful fella, he grabs the DJ monitors on stands and sets them up in front of us (a nice pair of QSCs which were more than adequate) then manages to cobble together a makeshift drum riser out of rack lids. We were on far too early, hardly anyone there but played really well - sounded good and a good test for playing in adverse conditions! The PA rig was particularly impressive - solar powered with a bunch of Tesla batteries, able to run for over 12 hours on battery power alone. In the bright sunshine was fully charged and easily still running 4k of bass. Off Grid Sound Systems if anyone is interested 👍 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
