One more week until we all meet up!
If anyone else is planning to attend, I need your name ASAP.
FOR THOSE ATTENDING - PLEASE READ!
I'd also appreciate a heads up from everyone attending on what gear they are planning to bring... In particular, what cabs and what Fractal devices.
I was able to procure an AccuGroove cab on loan from my bassist (who may be able to attend later in the day) to add to the FRFR comparison. At this point, we will have at least:
Xitone passive wedges
Mission Gemini II passive
Line6 active
AccuGroove (active, I think)
I will be bringing:
Axe Fx II XL+
Matrix GT800FX
MFC 101 mkIII
2 Mission EP-1
2 Mission EP-1 spring loaded
Laptop with latest Axe Edit, FractalBot, FracTool
I could load AX8 Edit if anyone needs it? Or we can install it there if needed.
If you are going to bring your device and no computer it would be best to all be on the latest firmware, so that any "sharing" of computers be done without need to reload block definitions or otherwise muck with software issues.
For the FRFR comparison, I will also be bringing my DL32R digital mixer rig so we can hook up multiple Fractal devices and multiple speakers and easily switch between (or blend) them via a mixer.
NOTE:
The facility is a school and we are there as guests of an alumni, who is graciously donating his studio hours for us. We need to be courteous and respectful of the rules and any students and staff. If you don't, you will be asked to leave.
You will require a photo ID and your name on the attendee list to be admitted!
We will be in a very high end studio and as such, food and drink is not allowed in the studio. There is a break area where you can go if needed.
We'll plan for a lunch break in the early afternoon - there is a nearby location with a variety of food (and a Guitar Center, if you so inclined).
As of this moment, the event is officially scheduled for 10am-6pm. However, we think we will be able to extend as late as 10pm for those who feel like staying later.
