Ok folks, looking for more wisdom with regards to a live setup for Empty Fortune.
Im trying to downscale the amount of gear we currently use at our gigs.
Calum sings and plays acoustic guitar through a 65 watt amp
I am backing 'vocals' and i switch between electric guitar, acoustic bass and mandolin. So the most instruments used at any one time is 4 (2 vocals and 2 guitars).
Usually use 4 PA speakers (unpowered) with a 1K power amp and a four channel Behringer UB802 mixer (currently only being used for vocals through the 2 XLR inputs)
Im wanting to eliminate the need for the bass and guitar amps as they are just too big for what we're doing and space is always limited. Ideally having everything run through the mixer and PA.
If I buy 2 DI boxes, 1 for Calums guitar and the other for my instruments, should this do the trick in bringing the instrument levels up (and I could switch between my instruments while still using the same channel)? Our sound requirements are very basic, no effects or distortion required for our acoustic sets.
Im really quite thick at this stuff so any advice is much appreciated.
Thanks
