Re: Is upgrading my solution, or is there another option?
I honestly never thought about gating Scott, probably would solve some of the feedback issues too. What are some inexpensive options? And should I have different gates for guitars and for drums?
As far as the amp issues goes...one of them has a Twin Reverb, which can lean with its provided stand. The other I'd have to get a stand for. For drums I probably could reduce the snare mic level, or even just eliminate it all together per your suggestion. The overheads are aimed towards toms, not cymbals.
The Thumps were an impulse buy at best. Our old speakers got swiped a day before a gig, it was a couple of EV SXA100+ that I saved up for a couple years back. I bought the Thumps from a guy at GC that said I wouldn't be disappointed. Well at first I wasn't.
My budget for speakers is going to be about $400-500 per. I was looking at the brand new EV ZLX series, though I'd have to test them out in person first. Sad I couldn't make NAMM this year (family reasons) and wasn't able to check these out before the general public.
Thanks Scott for the help!
Nick
