all right let's take a look at the setup that I got going here what we got is two
systems the A rig and the B rig this is the a rig over there and this is the B
rig here they're not fully set up yet but we're getting there let's take a
look we got a start with the racks Durroghs meters this should be on left and right
these will be on pfl left and right pcm60 my favorite reverb unit real simple
to access the different things nice hard crunchy sound H33500 has been
given us some problems if I'll be swap it out with another one that will go
here that's why I do the rest of my effects with he'll do the delays and
some flanger and phasing effects and I just punch them in and out I just use
those two effects and assign an unassign that way if I never have more
than two effects going at any point during the Chili Peppers show vocal
compressors these are on the subgroups vocal a vocal right guitar left and
right subgroups bass left and right kick snare left and right Tom's left and
right round things made out of metal left and right piano and keyboards left
and right and then for individual channel compressors I believe we've got
two vocal mics on Josh this is on a second vocal mic over by the drum kit
something get some stuff fired up here, did they stop, yeah they stopped playing, this is on one of
the bass lines this is, I don't know what that is, I will have to figure it out, oh this
is on Anthony's vocal this is on Josh's main vocal and this I believes on the
synthesizer and that's a spare at this point because dual compressor I think is
also spare but I'm not sure I'm still figuring some this out over here we've
got an analyzer my main PA left EQ and right EQ and I use this during the show
to do quick changes like if I need to hack out a certain frequency very quickly
I'll use this graph and then I use this one it's not set up yet these are all
bypassed to EQ the PA itself and make whatever system I'm working with sound
how I want it to sound subwoofer left subwoofer right subwoofer compressor
left sub compressor right and I carry my own sub compressor so I got gain more
control over it sub harmonic synthesizer I use that for some trailing effects and here's
my gate stereo gate for a kick stereo gate for snare rack rack, rack floor floor
snare 2 and rototom timbale and
some other Oh kettledrum okay add the rack into things consoles let's take a
look at that kick left and right I pan my to kick mics hard left and right
snare left and right snare top and bottom and panned, octobans tom, rack
floor floor ride overhead overhead is in a stereo module that I've put in here
roto snare 2, kettle bass clean which I don't use bass dirty DI and bass mic
panned left and right and then various guitar 57, Royer 122 d3 an emulator Flea
Anthony Josh josh is on the stereo channel for both of his vocals the vocoder
synthesizer some effects piano PCM 60 3500 alright
that's the B rig let's look at the A rig this is all pretty much the same
concept but here we've got a better analyzer it's a little beat up but uh
and my main PA graphs have built these faders connecting things on my printer
and makes the it a little easier to keep left and right balanced I'll make some more
of those before tour starts main house EQ left house EQ left, House EQ right sub EQ left
sub EQ right same as the other rack this unit here is on my pfl bus and it this
is cool because it lets me look at the left the right or the stereo sum and
difference lets move this mic out of the way, stereo sum and
difference so sum and difference I can check to make sure that two mics are in
polarity out of polarity and very useful same PCM 60, H3500 instead of a drawmer 1960
I'm using a fatso jr. for the main rig not sure which I like
better yet I'm still up in the air on that I've used the 1960 for many years the
fatso is a new one for me so I will decide and then so this is vocals
subgroups left and right guitar bass kick snare toms round things
made out of metal piano and keyboards and my individual channel compression
for the bass Josh's second vocal Anthony Channel
compression Josh channel compression for this is this is my main PA left and
right on the big meters and this is on the key synthesizer and spare and stereo
Klark gates here kick stereo snare and I'll punch in ends and then rack floor
floor snare 2 roto toms kettle drum and all the rest of the stuff recording
machine for - SD card here I do something a little different with subs
I've got my left and right sub EQ up here and then I also carry a cross over
so I can hi pass, I can low-pass the subs
manually very easily I can cross them over to 83 or 60 this is on divided by 10 so I
have a control over the filtering on that and in sub compressor left sub
compressor right sub processor which I'm not using yet I can't get it working
quite right but I did use in the past talk about that some other time sub
synthesizer and then auxilary system left and right and this replaces the CP10
Meyer it's up here for out fills or Center fills or auxilary systems when we
do that bigger shows cool this is my amp that drives my super wedges
we've got a pair of those quad amp super wedges on a house is listening monitors
they'll be down on the floor here for the B rig we've got a couple micro wedge
10s powered off of a powersoft k2 this is the powersoft x8 - new addition
clear com midas power supplies and the console and so right now what I'm doing
is we're doing rehearsals and I'm trying to match these two consoles up and get
everything the same and sounding good alright that's it
