Title: New live rig pics (engl, blackmachine, rig of doom content)
Post by: lepersmeesa on March 22, 2008, 04:29:59 PM
So we have just had a week of practice with my band The Safety Fire (www.myspace.com/thesafetyfire) with our now complete rig (I say complete, until the next time I get gas).

We have two Engl Powerballs, two Pod Xt Pros, one Z11 midi swticher, and Digi 003 and a laptop controlling everything. We have backing vox and synths coming through the PA system from a laptop also controls all our presets so we can just concentrate on rocking.

So no for the pics:

That Powerball looks monsterous next to the Blackmachine.  Hot damn!  How much would you reckon you guys blew on that nifty little setup?

I don't really want to think about it. I worked solidly for a year....I have no money from that, then I have been using a large percentage of my student loan on gear....I don't really eat. Good times. We got some good deals on a lot of the stuff, but Im guessing between all of us......maybe something like £6-8,000 maybe more.....haha. WHY DID YOU MAKE ME THINK HOW MUCH  I SPENT!!  :P

Yep, setup in a different way, but all the gear used for recording, is used for the live stuff as well!

I'm surprised that you find a need for the Pod's, what with having two Powerballs.  Obviously the Pod's are handy when recording, but what do you use them for live ?  or is it just for effects in the loops of the powerballs ?

Effects and EQ which has really helped with the Powerballs tone.

Nice setup :) Curious though, what made you go with the Digi 003, as opposed to something a little less expensive?

Oli: I run Pro Tools for all the bands I record, so I thought I would be able to use it for both of the things I need. I got it 2nd hand, so it wasn't too bad on the wallet.

Nad: haha, sorry man. Ill keep it clean I swear! Gorilla amps for all.

My cousin owns a whole studio of digidesign hardware - Cost him a bloody mint.

And all because of how much he loves pro tools.
