Alright, so before moving to Austin last summer, I was in a small(er) town out in the boonies for a few years. The most important part of that particular purgatory was running live sound for my brother and sister's band for ~3 years and 2 dozen gigs.
Here's a rundown of my current setup.
The keystone to my rig is this Biamp 1221, manufactured between 1979 and '83 I believe. Love using it. It's old spring reverb tank is a pleasure.
Next I've got two homebuilt racks, this one goes stage side. The 75ft, 24 send, 8 return Mic snake is arguably my second most important piece. I need to refurbish the fan end of it. Some of the connectors are pretty corroded. The replacements are gonna come from Monoprice.com (gold plated!).
The amp in this rack is a Samson Servo 300, and it runs my monitor. Then there's the power conditioner. Venues with noisy electrical grids are a pain in the ass without these.
Here's the monitor: from a Harbinger powered mixer PA (a dinky one that ran 4 channels)
I make my own mic and instrument cables; here's the current iteration of my inst cables. The connectors are gold plated from Monoprice.com. The bulk cable's from GLS Audio aka Orange County Speaker aka speakerreapair.com
My Mains by Yamaha:
I plan on replacing these in the near-term with something heftier. Leaning towards active speakers.
My board side rack. Art EQ-351 (for the mains, mono). Behringer Ultragraph Pro FBQ1502, this one's brand new from Sweetwater, gonna use it on the main two vox mics for Parlor Tricks next weekend. Peavey PV 215EQ, what I had been using on two main vox, will now be on monitor send + whatever else.
I've got a few other odds and ends, stands, etc. GLS Audio instrument mics (been really happy with these).
Anyway that's pretty much it yo
