Hmm, well I'll let y'all know if I have any trouble with mine just so we can be sure Lee didn't get a defective one. So far so good. If anyone can beat up some equipment though, it's me!
So far so good through about 12 shows in the month and a half I've had it. So if it survives me with the way I tape and beat up eq, it'll survive anything I reckon! Two festivals in the next two weekends,
Cedar Hill and
Turtle Jam ought to be a good trial by fire. Already had to flee one abruptly ended outdoor show in the middle of a massive thunderstorm that rolled in. Listen to the end of the 2003-08-03 Steep Canyon Rangers that I have up in streaming real audio on jamlive (link below) and you'll see what I mean. Keep in mind it's a soundboard tape, and you can still here that thunder boomin. Had to pack up and run with my gear for probably 250 yards to get to where my car was parked. It's only on days like those I'm glad I don't have mics!
Lee thanks for all the help earlier on AIM. Not sure if this works, but I'll try it: +T
