Several months ago, Maury bought a bunch of PA equipment for our band to use for shows. It’s good stuff – Crown power amps, JBL speakers and subs, etc. Anyway, our drummer at the time left before we could play a show, so all this stuff just sat unused for months. FYI: our band is once again fully staffed (welcome Doug!), so we should be getting back into the swing of things very soon.
Anyway, our church band was asked to play for an event this evening, so we’re going to use Maury’s PA setup rather than disassemble the church stuff and then have to reassemble it before Sunday. We’re also going to bring our personal amps (Maury’s Triple Rectifier and my Sig:X) rather than bring the church stuff.
It’s going to be a lot of work, but it should be fun. I’m excited to hear how the PA sounds, and I’m really looking forward to using our amps on stage in a big room. I’m afraid that it might be really loud in there, but hopefully it’ll sound good. I also hope that it doesn’t rain on us while we’re loading/unloading stuff.

I’m planing on buying a wah wah pedal but i cant decide from the Ernie ball pedal or the Dunlop Crybaby 535q. I would really like your opinion on this.
hod did it go with the new PA system?
Robert – I haven’t used either of those pedals, so I can’t really give you much solid advice. I think the 535Q is similar to the regular Crybaby, except that it has a dial on the side that adjusts the sweep or the frequency or something. I haven’t heard anything about the Ernie Ball wah, but I have used their volume pedals. They are solidly built, but they have a tendency to get noisy. I would look into the Ibanez Weeping Demon wah. I used to have one and it was pretty cool. It only cost $100 new.
Rhoy – Things went pretty well, but the system needs to be tweaked. We need to work on setting the level from the amps going into the board. We probably had our amps a little too loud on stage and the input level was too low on the board. Plus, the event was pretty conservative. There were a lot of older people, so we had some volume restrictions. I will say that the amps and drums sounded awesome. Basically, we have all the right pieces, we just need to figure out how to put them together.
Hey Phillip where in the US are you located…I was interested in looking up your churches website…if on existed.
Thanks
