The mixer is on the side so that the equipment remains as invisible as it can be.

Great idea using this stand and powerstrip. Fits perfectly.

I'm actually a big fan of right-angle 1/4 cables where applicable. I much prefer a right-angle 1/4" cable where it plugs into my guitar, for instance. And of course they are needed with pedals in a crowded area. I didn't know they made them for XLR. But I don't think anyone notices or cares about the ones sticking up out of my set up off to the side.

But there are some potential premade options if you don't want to spend an arm and a leg. A few Amazon comments mentioned that this was adjustable --like old style Neutriks-- by simply unscrewing and twisting: http://a.co/4lxVWEk I just ordered one for my pedalboard to see if that's the case. If not, I'll probably just order some adjustable ones like these http://a.co/1V7e17Y and make some cables!

Well of course they wouldn't come up to you and say that (unless they're somewhat mentally challenged!) That doesn't mean they don't notice it. Other musicians are more apt to notice it anyway.

How long does it take set up at your gig?
Do you break it down or carry it in as is in the photos? |

It stays as it is. Sets up in seconds. That's the beauty of it!

I have a similar setup with a heavy duty music stand. I have a small Macke mixer, a Tonedexter and a TC Helicon Play Acoustic on it on the stand. I made all the connecting cables for the boxes and mixer so they are very short the everything is velcroed on with 2” Velcro tape and it remains as a unit that comes off the stand. I have the TC Helicon 3 button pedal extension on the floor which controls the harmonies if I use them and guitar boost. I also have an a/b box on the floor to switch between electric and acoustic guitars.
I keep the stand just about at my elbow while standing just a little behind me so I can reach the controls and so I can see the control lights if I turn my head. If I’m sitting I just adjust it all lower. I also use a photo sandbag on the stand just because there is a lot of money sitting on top of the stand and I don’t want it getting knocked over. I keep a power strip on the floor and bundle the leads from the power supplies with Velcro. Because the Play Acoustic and Tonedexter provide all the eq and effects I need, I can live with just the three button box on the floor which I find much simpler. The stand also gives me a place to keep fingerpicks and capos.

This is a good thread! Being an old fart I don't like going to the floor to change settings but still want the foot switches to toggle them. If I bend the wrong way these days to change a setting there is a greater than 50% chance I ain't coming back up. Gig over.
I've been looking at things like the TC Perform series which is on the right track, but is too limited in what can be preset/stored. Something like a Play Acoustic on a waist high stand with an external 6 foot switch looks like the way to go. Unfortunately my other older pedals don't allow for external foot switching. IMHO this is definitely something manufacturers should incorporate into all stomp boxes, especially the complex ones. Last edited by HeyMikey; 03-26-2018 at 03:25 PM. |
