[QUOTE="Eric Cagle, post: 90078, member: 277"] Re: Analog FOH, Outboard opinions/preferences Tim's list is a great one for most folks and should meet most riders. I actually prefer the DBX 1066 over the 160 but both are good and I have both in my A rack. I also like the 2 channel Drawmer and Aphex (612 and 622) gates. I usually try to make anything I have thrown at me work. I always carry a small FOH rack with me regardless with a few things I like. Here is what I prefer for most of the shows I do: 1) Any good tap delay. The D2 is fine. TC 2290 is extra good but not necessary. 2) A really good reverb. I prefer a Lexicon PCM 70 or above but I am spoiled always having Lexicon PCM units since I came from the studio. I currently carry a PCM 91. 3) A really good multi effects unit. I like the Eventide H3000 and up but a TC M-One and up or Yamaha SPX etc. will work. More is great, especially another delay line, but I can be happy with those three things. 4) Four really good channels of compresson. I like the DBX 1066 as a minimum. More is better but I am usually good with bass, the money channel, and a pair across the stereo output unless there is a problem somewhere or a really sloppy accoustic guitar. 5) A really good gate for each drum but a well tuned and dampened kit will trump the use of gates anytime. 6) Klark Teknik DN360 or better on FOH. 7) A decent 31 band on each monitor channel. The sleeper is the Peavey EQ31FX (only that model from Peavey and it is rare) it sounds almost as good as the KT for that application and the FLS LED lights are great if you are running monitors from FOH and a luxury if you are at the stage with a seperate console. I do mostly Rock and country shows these days and most of them are outside but this set up will work anywhere for me with almost any type of act except for something really out of the ordinary.
