You are using an ABC switch into the Felix. What are you using ch 2 of the Felix for?
I highly recommend EBS Gold cables, especially where space is tight. They have the smallest profile and the flat cable can run under efx if neccesary. Sweetwater sells them and they are available in various lengths. I've had no luck with solderless cables. My PT2 electric board is all EBS. My Metro24 is mostly EBS. The looper board uses an EBS insert cable bewteen the foot switches and RC3. Really a great product.

Ch a is guitar ch b is mandolin ch c is bass. The guitar goes to ch 1 of the felix .,mandolin goes to ch 2 of the felix the bass goes to a seperate preamp ( not shown in pic). This way i can use one cable or one wireless unit for 3 instruments. this keeps me untangled on stage. I have quite a few of those EBS already on the board they are great for saving room I need a few more. Id like to find good quality 90 degree xlr for the DI outs on the felix. that would give me some more room. Last edited by varmonter; 12-14-2018 at 02:28 PM. |

BTW - would someone please explain to me how using all these electronicals between your acoustic guitars and your amp/pa.a can be "acoustic" ???

that without getting a bigger board and flight case. I step on the felix ,delay and the flint the most. abc is a close second. Hardly ever use the looper. and the comp and tuner are always on. I may try raising the delay up some to get a better angle on it. What do you use to shim up pedals in the back? It all still has to fit in the flight case. |

Lay everything out and measure. Leave a few free inches on each side. Trust me. Things will need to be reconfigured as you start to gig it. You'll be glad that you did... Most of them are on an angled pedal train board with cable management and power underneath. I don't need to step on anything in the back row. The Aphex is always on as a global EQ. The Tonedexter is on a wood block with a semi circle cut out to accommodate the mic stand insert. The Reverb is on a piece of high density foam because I didn't have my tools, but I did have a pocket knife. It worked, so it stayed. Last edited by The Kid!; 12-14-2018 at 03:31 PM. |

I like to think of it as an amplified acoustic instrument. Playing in bars is not the ideal environment, but they pay quite a bit more than the un-amplified gigs in my area. Everyone has different needs when it comes to gigging, and it's a necessary evil for what I do.

I loaded the Tapatalk app and loaded the photos. It was a breeze. I'll be using this feature a lot in the future.

My goal is always to make my acoustics sound like acoustics. I started amplifying my Guild F48 40 years ago with a Bill Lawrence soundhole pickup into my Twin Reverb amp. Not bad but sounded like an archtop with floating pickup.
I also tried the original Barcus Berry pickup and preamp. That was a disaster. I started using Fishman Matrix pickups 20 years ago. I still use them in some of my guitars. I'm able to avoid the quack sound with good preamps/eq, and not over driving the pickup with heavy strumming. I have K&K pmw pickups in 2 guitars. They sound great but also require good eq and more likely to feed back than the Fishman. If you plan to play in front of a live audience you will need some form of amplification. Mics are the most accurate, but difficult to manage in most venues.

Ah, the pedal board setups that have come and gone! How I miss them so... Not! I have two setups these days: Gigging with the wife for our acoustic duo act gets this - Boss VE-8.
Open mics with other people's PA equipment gets this - Headway EDM-1. These days it's all about simplification! I don't even require or use external power. Everything runs on battery unless we bring the QSC for power. Here's everything needed for our full gig including the QSC k8.2 |
