I usually bring a simple A/B pedal (JHS) to gigs for two reasons:
1) to keep 2 guitars connected
2) as an extender between guitar(s) and the input of the III, giving me more room to move and to avoid pulling the cable accidentally.
On today’s gig I forgot the pedal. So my guitar was connected directly to the front of the III. And I can tell you: this isn’t a good idea on a large stage.
The cable was pulled out of the input in the midst of the performance. After reconnecting all sound was gone. I noticed there wasn’t an input signal so I switched guitars and cables first. That didn’t help so something on the inside (input board) was clearly damaged. I was slightly panicking because my backup gear was in my car far away.
Then I thought of the rear input and I was back in business, thankfully.
While this could have been avoided by securing the cable to the rack, I rather pull the cable from the input and not pull the entire rack case to the floor.
