Keep in mind that you’re very likely to hear the rare “a weird malfunction happened at my gig last night” here, but we don’t really get on and post “gig #76 this year, and everything works fine aaaaaaagain.” My FAS stuff is boringly dependable, just a non-thought come play-time. Hundreds and hundreds of gigs over more than a decade, indoors and out, line power, generators, you name it. I do use a power regulator, as I feel is responsible as a business precaution, but it’s otherwise cared for as is any other performing gear. Taken care of, but not babied. I use quality cables that I test from time to time, and I carry spares. I’ll note I also do not use presets pushing the CPU limits, nor any preset not tested extensively with the band at gig volumes.
My experience is not automatically everyone else’s, but my gigging life would be fantastic if all of my gear was as road-worthy as my Fractal Audio Systems equipment. Trust me, you have better things to worry about.
