“We were 50 feet in FRONT of the PA…
We’re putting the drums in front of a trillion PA speakers.” 🤯

We noticed a nice RND rig out with @piercetheveil and reached out for more info…
JP Huff / @jphuffiv (FOH):
“My rig consists of the MBC converting analog to AES on the band master bus. I hardly tickle the limiter most days, maybe 1-2dB max, and Red Silk is fantastic over the band bus. The conversion back to digital also sounds incredible. In the instrument world, a pair of 542’s to soften up the guitars and added some Blue Silk to give them some range and harmonics in the bottom end. The saturation blend gives a lot of depth to my guitar bus.”
“We swapped vocals over to the Shelford Channels last year, and now it’s the first thing the guys ask about in the beginning of the tour. They’re always “we’re still using the Shelfords right?”
“At FOH I’m using it to sculpt a V7 on both singers. Both with Red Silk blended, the compressors sound so smooth when they go from screams to singing.”
“We also have 5045’s which I feel have become an industry standard with vocals. Everyone is using some sort of PSE and I feel the 5045 works best in most situations I find myself in.”
Allan Bates / @batesaudio (MON):
“The 5045 and Shelford Channels are an essential part of my vocal chains. Nothing keeps the nonsense out of the mic like a 5045. The Shelford Channels are my favorite tool for adding heft and control to vocals. The EQs are musical. I love the vocals just tapping gain reduction on singing and hitting hard for screams, and Red Silk all day long for some added flavor without getting bitey. They just make vocals feel done.”
Jaime / @ptvjaime (Bass):
“You guys make some really cool sh*t.”
