AXE Fx Ultra

[mayfly]

Just getting ready for a gig tomorrow night.  Here's my entire rig:

The bag holds the foot controller and also includes a pile of cables and three vocal mics.

Gonna be an acoustic gig without any speakers  :laughing7:

Actually I'm just jealous because I want an AxeFx.

Haha, that is amazing! Someday when I have enough money I shall own one

I assume you DI to the front of house, and hear yourself through the stage wedges?  I'm surprised you don't have a powered speaker on stage, even if its just for you and the band.
Compared to some of the gear I had to lug around in the past, what you've got there looks like a luxury!!!!

Yup - just use a monitor wedge.  A quick sound check and it's all good.

and the cool thing is that it all fits on the front seat of the car!  - which is good since I've got kid seats in the back which prevent putting the seats down back there...

Where do you set your rack at?

In morphing mode myself as well. Played my first weekend last week with nothing but my Digitech GSP1101 direct to board. Not even a monitor wedge. Wireless guitar and wireless in ear monitors. A little freaky but fun. Big, pounding PA mix, no one missed my guitar amp. My band's monitor wedges, bass amp and my guitar amp all left at home as we all went in ears.

That's pretty cool.  What in ears are you using?

The rack is on the floor on stage - just to the left of the mic stand.  I put it up on the rack lids to elevate it a bit.

Very cool!!!

I'm down to a single trip on one of my regular church gigs.  Bass over the shoulder, instrument stand in one hand, TC Electronic preamp in the other hand.  We're entirely in-ear so I go DI out to the console and out to the house.  We use Aviom personal mixers so we all have our own mix.  I have an older set of Shure E5 in-ears.  Very pleased with the setup.

Shure PSM 200 receiver and pack and the Shure E5 ear buds. Very nice sounding...I was way surprised. I had used the old Shure E1s ear buds previously and man, there's no comparison.

Here's the rig at the bar:

Where's the wedge?

It was put out-front after the photo was taken.

Cool looking little bar stage. I like it when drummers put their cymbals up high and keep them flat. Makes hitting them loud though...you mic that kick drum to compensate? Anything else besides your guitar and vocals in the mains? You get free beer? Need more questions?  :laughing7:

Cool stage lighting  :icon_biggrin:

Well, let's see...
Through the PA there was - vocals, guitar, bass, kick, snare.  Things were mic'ed up after the pic.  The amp on stage is the bass amp.  Single 15 in a combo - 250 watts.

Free beer?  Nope.  We got 100% of the gate and all merch sales.  Bar gets beer sales.

Right on. If that's for this weekend, have a fun gig. Take a video with your phone and post it.  :icon_biggrin:

Lame camera pic of my gig rig from yesterday.  Gecko 6 bass, TC Electronic head/footswitch and bass stand.  Simple, one trip wonder!

OK, the next step surely must be to put the TC Electronics/AXE Fx Ultra/GSP1101 right in the guitar, or bass. "Oh no, they'll never do that......right?"  ccasion14:

 

[MikeW]

Uhm... I think it's called the Gibson Thunderbird X.  :sad1:

 

[JimBeed]
