Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted a lot lately, band life/school life been getting in the way of each other too much to have too much time to myself. My apologies. Anyways, I have been trying wrap my head around how some things work. I realize this is probably enough questions for 21039470298375091823 different threads. The first being:
1). Multiple Wireless systems set up to work together. I am purchasing a guitar wireless system (line 6 g90 probably, feel free to give your opinions on that if you wish. I realize g50 is more than I would need, but I like the idea of a rackmount wireless), but expect to also be getting wireless in-ear very soon. How would i set them both up without two different backpacks? I don't mind two rack spaces taken up, but two backpacks would be annoying on my strap, especially since I try to move a lot. Is there some combo pack I can get, how do the pros do it? Without using those $1500 in ears that double as transmitters. How do you guys handle that?
2) Second being stage lighting. I'm in a metalcore band and were starting to get shows with bands we've actually heard of and we aim to impress. Every other band seems to have great light ideas that set them apart from the rest. Currently my band has two par 36 (or 38's, whichever one is real) mounted on PA speaker stands for accent lights in the back facing our banner behind our drummer. We have two mine colorstrips mounted under our risers at the front of the stage pointed at the ground for more accenting options. We just stick with those for now, but are looking for something to bring people in and make us unique. Any ideas? I was thinking setting up a light show in sync with our songs, but lack the skills currently to do it. I don't mind figuring it out though.
3) Pedalboard suggestions? Just a random one, but it needs to be compact-ish but still able to fit a volume pedal and 4-5 boss-sized pedals.
Thanks in advance guys, any answers welcome.
