[QUOTE="Lyle Williams, post: 123105, member: 6359"] Re: So...What are you carrying as a backup mixer? (or are you?) It is important to have a Plan B for everything easily at hand. Even if the gear doesn't fail, things can go wrong where you fail to fault-find the system in the time available. Two days ago I thought I lost a PA amp channel and had to use an alternate amp. It turns out that when the "failed" amp was borrowed recently the fullrange/crossover switch on the back (which was covered by gaffer tape to stop it being moved) was moved (and the gaffer tape replaced.) Because i "knew" the switch was taped in the right position, **I** failed to find the fault in time. It sure was good to just patch in another amp. [/QUOTE]
