I'm done with that DI IR-D bullsht

[Spaced Out Ace]

What was your DI rig? Still using the Friedman unit?

yep, the IR-D. It is a good sounding preamp. Nothing wrong with it but fuck DI altogether

The Way Small Green Rhino reminds me of the small elephant from the Punch Trunk episode of Looney Tunes.

I really like my Captor X, but I am definitely feeling the urge to come back to earth with real shit again. Especially with this new amp coming in, I'm excited to hear it in all it's glory, not through a little monitor

I remember laughing hard when you said that on another thread. Still funny

oh without a doubt. These things are very convenient on certain situations but playing through a cab whenever possible is an entirely different thing. There's really no comparison.

I hear you!

We do this for fun, so dealing with subpar situations isn’t worth the time and effort saved when it takes away the fun aspect.

Pro cover/tribute band guys it makes sense since they’re playing for serious money.

Exactly!! Perfectly stated.

You're supposed to say, "Get some new material, Spaced!"

To be clear, though: The Way Huge Green Rhino is quite a contender for top 10 best TS style pedal out of the 1000+ out there.

This. If you aren't getting paid much, and there is a serious lack of fun, then why bother at all.

I have been DI for about 8 years at this point and ran into this CONSTANTLY at first. I bought a powered floor monitor that was stupid loud and relatively flat and I kept it in the car for those situations for years. I run IEMs now and have gotten away from the pain. Some cheap options exist to get into the IEM world for less $.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GYDPVXB
Really balanced sounding for cheap IEMs

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B72B4CLD
Allows you to run your IEMs from your output up a single cable to your guitar. No wireless pack required.

I have a few of these floating around my gear bags for those nightmare scenarios where the monitor feed is trash. I just have them cut my guitar out of my monitor, feed their monitor feed in to the TRS input and my direct box output through the other input/thru and out to FOH. I get an unmolested guitar feed with a volume I can control. I just walk out and listen to the mix using a looper playing a riff and attempt to help the sound man get a good balance if possible.

I miss the sound of a 4x12 flapping my pants legs sometimes but not enough to deal with dragging an amp/cab/rack around.

I have the KZ headphones from when I was using an IEM system. But I longer have the system. I might buy another system in the future.


How does that EB cable work?
