Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

The 'silent stage' is all the rage right now. No more lugging in giant amps and cabs. Some even have a digital drum kit.

(I read a lot of TGP posts, which is thegearpage.com.)

Makes set up and tear down a whole lot easier

None of the venues up this way are like that. Well, maybe a few venues down in the southern part of the the state. Nothing up here has that and probably won't have it for a decade, Basically, you're just pushing everything into their PA system. They'll often even have their own mixing board, which you can have onstage or out on the venue floor.

I guess it makes it much easier, assuming the venue has good gear.

Even if they don't have that equipment, folks no longer roll in the stacks or have a big back line. They're playing 30 to 50 watt combo amps with modelers - and keeping the volume turned down to 3 to 5 'cause it's already loud enough.

I would assume that if the venue is going to go to the trouble of having a PA and a board they would at least get a good Mackie board.

Just mic the little amp and run it through the PA I suppose
