If they weren't meant to be placed on a pole then why did EV put pole cups and EQ setting for a pole...

    I think you are worrying about something that is not going be an issue. I use my stands for small shows as stage wash and run them at pretty good volumes with no issues at all. If it bothers you that much you could try wrapping the end of the pole with some electrical tape to take up some slop.

    The Redsound has more clarity but the Laney has better bottom end but is a tad dark. Not surprising considering the differences in cab size and speakers. I really like the traditional look of the Laney! but the top end clarity of the Redsound is pretty evident. How did you record the cabs?

    Mono or Stereo Set-up

    As far as listing it's great! Nothing like being enveloped in a sound experience. I will say setting up some effects to be extreme width doesn't always work out that great. As to setting up it's pretty basic I run stereo effects after the cab block make sure they are set up to run stereo!

    Fender Tone Master FR-10 vs. Redsound MF.10 Mini Review

    If I had to guess and that's what this is, it's probably the quality of the components and the design Redsound is using. I don't recall anyone having to rebuild the EQ section of a Redsound unit.

    Call me lazy...returned to FW 6

    I didn't really have any issues. I did add op 3 to run my IEM and that did push 8 of my presets over the top so I had to lose an effect in those presets that I wasn't really using that much anyway so I was ok with it. Switching most of my AC TB amps to the AC 30 Brilliant was worth it alone!

    Is it possible to have stereo stage and not create issues for FOH

    Unless FOH is a mono mix I would just make sure the FOH and stage are the same with respect to L and R and you shouldn't have any issues. Also, if the cab separation on stage is too wide the effect you are going for will be lost. I'm guessing one cab on either side of the drummer? If your FOH...

    Steve Morse, what you can’t do with amp modelers. What do you think?
