Hey Conrad, I never heard how that gig you were stressing about went. Did you post about it?
Ray PMed me about it and I am embarrassed about the whole thing coz it has no happy ending.
Tish's dual source distorted so I replaced the battery but that didn't help. When I plugged in, I distorted too so then I decided to set up condenser mic between 2 of us. Yay distortion is gone but we are frazzled and volume is too low and pushing it up would just cause feed.
The mixer decided it wants to adjust volume at it's whim.
So now I am taking the mixer in and we are already using 2 acoustic amps. My dual source's pre amp has been replaced but nothing wrong with Tish's.
In the end we gave an apologetic performance.
Bummer man. Well, in a weird way it's kind of better that it was the gear wasn't it? I guess it sucks either way.
You got a plan for the gear issues? Do you have your own PA rig?
Yes the pickup has been fixed. We are now using 2 Laney A1 65W amps that we got at a really good price and this is sufficient for most of our gigs.
Yes we have our own PA rig. The desk is really messed and decided to reveal that on the night of the performance so I'll take it in for repairs but was already told I'll most likely have to replace it.
So we are up and running again. When your sound is bad, it really affects your playing. It's tough to stay inspired when you don't agree with what comes out the speakers LOL.
