Behringer X32Rack or something else?

The musicians set up their gear and verify that a channel signal is present as expected. Then they go off to dinner or whatever while the sound operator rings out the room, loads the saved mix from the previous show, turns the monitor feeds to the pre-saved mix / level for each, and then run a...

Behringer X32Rack or something else?

YES. This is a game-changer for setting up. It has eliminated the need for the band to even be in attendance for line-checks, and after the virtual soundcheck is completed, the band shows up and we just run a few songs. Brilliant.

Adrian Belew Electronic Guitar

I attend "Three of a Perfect Pair" camp each year, and it's a blast to hear Adrian talk about his approach to tone. It's a fun week of music, camaraderie, and learning. Adrian, Pat, and Tony are the key hosts, and are regularly joined by other amazing high-profile guest hosts like Trey Gunn...

Super portable “FRFR” thoughts?

I know that the v2 is "coming soon" to Sweetwater and other gear distros, so I'll probably just wait for it to arrive. My objective is to be heard onstage at a comfortable volume. I don't need massive power. In fact, I don't even want the capability of high volume, even on large stages! I...

Zowie. I need to get two of them. Been happy with my XiTone wedge for most purposes, but I really need more of a traditional guitar amp "feel" for some of my gigs, and pair of FR-12s would be lovely.

Gecko MKIII

Take a look at the Disaster Area pedal: https://www.disasterareadesigns.com/shop/p/dmc-micro-pro It's the same price as the Gecko, and does a lot more.

Gecko MKIII

Holy cow. You're right. I just assumed that it would send CCs. Definitely agree about the MorningStar option as being a good choice as well.

Gecko MKIII

That Gecko pedal appears to be a standard MIDI controller capable of sending PC and CC messages. You'd definitely be able to use it to send commands to the FM9 (or any FAS device) to switch scenes / effects, or to do anything else that can be controlled via MIDI. I just ordered this controller...

Inexpensive Flat Amplifier solution for FM3

Matt, I'm looking at the Powerstage 700 to run my live backline. I'll be using a pair of 2x12 cabs. What are your thoughts on the clean power / headroom and overall performance of this unit? I need decent stage-filling volume, but nothing insane. The complaints I've heard are (1) When rack...

I thought SHAME AND RIDICULE's second album was really solid.
