  1. I used it for a huge outdoor venue this summer. The sound company's mixing console was quite a bit back from out in front of the stage with 30'speaker towers projecting into the park just behind them. The pro sound guys were impressed that the SS's sound projected so well that far out to them.
  2. Thanks, I made most of the stand from a kitchen table I bought on Craigslist for 20$.
  3. That actually was my intent but the top kb ended up higher due to design constraints. I think putting a piece like this on the back will solve that problem. back
  4. http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss153/bossbandbob/front%20stand.jpg http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss153/bossbandbob/stand%20back%20view.jpg http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss153/bossbandbob/stand%20top%20view.jpg My gig rig all prettied up for our Tom Petty tribute bands' recording this Thursday night on Local Rock TV. It's a Charter cable show that also has gone National now and will also provide us with some badly needed high quality video and sound clips for demos (for free). We will be in full TPATH dress and they"are providing Vox amps for appearance." Of course they won't have a B3 and Yamaha Grand there for me but this is my custom designed faux B3 stand that I'll be using. I finally snaked all my cables with zip ties into just one that shows. VR-09 is on top, with Alto mixer and PX-5S on bottom. Vent, Expression and Sustain pedals on pedal board below with power strip. Not sure I like the white wire there. I'll be going out to my SS V3 amp but there will be a Leslie 145 behind me (with a missing amp) that everyone will think that I'm using.. that our lead guitar player uses with his amps (he insists he needs it for his tone....don't ask). Thinking of attaching a faux cover panel to the top back of the stand before the show, to cover the VR-09 for the show as not sure if it makes sense to show the VR-09 label when I can't show the PX-5S except for the decal, which I could remove. I'll probably be filmed from the side and above mostly. http://www.petty-larceny-band.com/
  5. Sorry I was not more clear on that. As I play that part on the Vr-09 which does not have an actual Cello patch, I have been playing the "Cello part" on the bass side of the VR-09 (using the lowest A available) with a synth strings (2) patch, which at practice using an Alto 12' woofer powered speaker sounded fine. Maybe I need to experiment with some other patches for that on the VR for the SS or make a split on the PX-5s which has more strings choices. At least I think it is a Cello on that part of that song which had a lot of synth overdubbing on the original. It is the "Give it up, STOP" section I'm referring to. Ending this weekend, the band has played 5 straight weekends so the gig rig has not even come out of the cases during the week as I'm using other gear for home practice and we haven't needed band practice..
  6. OK so that explains why I can't hear the low Cello part I play in Petty's "Don't Come Around Here No More" when using the SS. Same thing.. not worth buying or hauling a bass component for just one song. Line out to PA sounds like a good idea for that one.
  7. I ordered this from SW Thurs, selecting the free delivery option. Arrived at my house Friday morning, gigged with the SS sideways on this stand Sat. night on another crowded stage. Amp was about 5 ft. from me, in back slightly to the left. I was stage right again. Best band mix yet!The band and I all could hear me great. Organ on top octaves of VR-09 was not as ear piercing at high volumes as when the amp was straight up but was very clearly heard. EP's sounded great. AP sounded a bit harsh with just me and the SS at high volumes during set up but later meshed with the band (Tom Petty Tribute) beautifully! As a matter of fact this was the best I have ever been able to hear myself play in a band situation. It definitely makes the gig more relaxing and more enjoyable when you can hear what you are playing and know that the audience can as well!
  8. I actually had a gig Sat. night using the SS3 where the audience could hear me fine but the band could not. It was a new club that had a very wide but not very deep stage and we basically had to line up side by side. I was originally positioned stage right with the amp diagonal to me at the right. Other amps, players and a case were blocking my sound to the band. After getting rid of the case,and repositioning the SS to my left pointing at a 45% angle and upwards towards the band, problem solved!
  9. You can get a stereo feed from the . This mixer does not have a 'Control out' It has R/L out to mains, an Earphone out, and an RCA R/L Aux out.
  10. Thanks Ray, My keyboard's mixer that I just bought has a R/L stereo out which will go to the SpaceStation. If I ever want to go Stereo rather than mono to FOH can the mixer's earphone jack be used for that using a TRS Y cable?
  11. I know the sub out on the SpaceStation is full range but does it send out a summed to mono signal or can it send out stereo via a TRS cable ?
  12. Does the noise vary with the dimming level? Did you try changing your instrument cables? A bad 20' cable caused a similar hum with my SS.
  13. I have played a small club, medium sized club and a large outdoor venue with the SS and could not be happier. The outdoor venue was on a big bandstand on a huge Town Common so the Pro sound company had to use the sub out Jack to FOH for the speakers further back in the park. Their mixing station was about a hundred feet from the SS and even they were impressed with how well it' sound carried to them. Question, thus far I have not used a mixer. I have just been using the VR-09 outputs to the PX-5S inputs and the PX-5s outs to the SS. I use the Roland mostly for organ. I have had no sound or volume issues as I have been adjusting the volume on the PX with its knob and theVR-09 with its expression pedal and I'm very happy to have one less piece of gear to hook up. In my studio I did try the two boards into my power mixer and out to the SS and don't hear any sound advantage. So what am I missing by not using a mixer during shows?
  14. The adapter was plugged in at least for a 1/2 hr before this started to happen.
