KPA non-powered rack. Matrix GT1000 power amp. Shure QLX wireless. Furman. Interface at the rear for direct connections. This has been my A rig for years and it has proven to be bullet proof. Thinking of putting my IEM transmitter next to the QLX.....any thoughts on radio interference if I do this? IEM is a PSM900.

Gigged Saturday with new Power Kab. Had OS with PowerAmpBoost. Hung with my band just fine…..and we are loud. I use IEM’s but bass player had to turn up his SVT from what he usually has it at……I did have things turned up to about 75% volume both on stage and Kab.

I did replace - have not had a problem since with the new unit.....I never did find out what the issue was with the original one I had - just stopped working one day. Played a show at a club the other night with my new one and it performed flawlessly for several hours, volume was at about 1 o'clock for the whole show. The thing is LOUD!

I can personally give huge props to BA - yes they are in nashville and do lots of great work!

Full disclosure my toaster stays in my studio - I take my rack mount to gigs and I have a patch panel much like OneEng1 describes with ethercon for the foot pedal. Rack is nice as it has my wireless all in one.

Have done some live streaming. Last real live gig with a real audience was February (live streaming is really weird with no live audience - don’t care how many likes you get it’s not the same). While local bars here in the Midwest have opened up the larger venues we typically play are all cancelled. So we could get back into bars and clubs but in reality not interested until there is a vaccine or treatment that is almost certainly a cure - the thought of spending several hours in a club with hundreds of people is not appealing in this environment. Had a friend go down with this COVID and it is not pretty. I am lucky that I don’t rely on my musical income to live by.
Stay safe everyone.

Excellent band/song. I’m originally from Winnipeg....go Canada!

I had a powercab+, was underwhelmed. Sold the L6. I now use a Valvetrain Powertrain 50 with my Kemper Stage. I like it a lot

Never really understood stereo for live use, the only place that it would really apply is front center, audience to left or right of stage will hear some variance of what you are wanting them to hear re delays etc. I always play mono live. Stereo sounds great in the rehearsal space though!
I have a non-powered rack with a matrix power amp as my main rig for playing live, wireless in the rack as well. I typically have a guitar cab on stage and also use IEMs for every show.
If I had to do it again I would have saved a space in my rig and got the powered rack. Some pics before I added the wireless.

I am interested in doing something similar, may have BTPA do a custom board that has a panel with a powercon in hardwired to an IEC for the stage, would also have XLR and 1/4” jacks on the panel that are wired to the stage.....not sure how to power the wireless though, thinking of a pedaltrain Volto? Otherwise could hardwire a pedalpower under the board for the 1 pedal (shure wireless in my case - had the line 6 for a prior board and it suffered from a lot of dropouts at venues). Would be nice though, take board out of case and plug in 1 power cable and then any outputs you want and you are good to go.

I just received the Studio 20. It is excellent! I've gone from super heavy AMS12, to Atomic CLR and now the ValveTrain. It is EVERYTHING that was promised. It's the tubey punch I've been looking for that will cut through the mix. I'm also playing in small clubs and it is way more than enough. Bigger club? We'll mic it into PA. I am SUPER HAPPY, highly recommended and price high tho not quite stinky, but really no regrets.
Do you have your cab sims on or off when using your valvetrain Matt?

Recently had to return my 50 for a refund - just died on me one day and AMS was super cool with the return and refund - I LOVED this thing and I am definitely going to replace it. I had gigged small clubs with it and it sounded great!
- I am considering going with the Britt model from British Audio as opposed to the generic 50 that I previously had - does anyone have any experience with both? I believe the only sonic difference is the speaker, a red white and blue in the Britt as opposed to a Legend in the generic version. I love Britt profiles, but I really don’t play country, more classic rock tones, so I am not 100% sure if it would be right for me?
- Also, I was using with cab sims “on” which seemed crazy but HW and Britt had a YouTube vid where they talked about this and so I gave it a try, really liked it - any others using cab sims “on” with this thing?!
For anyone considering one of these, I love(d) mine.

I rarely turn mine off. Like a computer I figure.

I morph in some gain and some mids

Ordered one yesterday. Being delivered tomorrow.
