My band’s last gig, (see previous post) was somewhat of an experiment. We’ve played at Ruckus Pizza for 4 years, and during those 4 years, we’ve always used our own mixer. (Our bass player at the time, Stewart, owned a rather complex PA.) Last Friday, for the first time, we used Ruckus’ PA, and for the first time both guitar amps were plugged directly into the PA using their speaker-voiced line out connections. The result? That gig was the best sounding gig EVAR. The crowd reported that they could hear everything clearly, and just as important, the band could hear themselves.<\/p>\n
The gig was a blast. Thanks to everyone that showed up!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
