Finally, I gig tonight. I was reminded of redundancy, if you can afford it, if you can carry it. I carry three amps: JMD:50, JCM800 4104 and an Ultimate Tube amp. JMD goes through a 4x12 flatty Marshall, JCM is a 2x12 combo, Ultimate Tube amp goes through an oversize 2x12 Bogner. I'll save you the schematic rendition, suffice it to say, the left side of my stereo rig went south, was left with the JCM800 and the JMD. Boo hoo, I didn't have my stereo on stage spread. Bottom line, i had the JMD for it's thing, and the dirty/echo ambient/metal channel with the 800. Had I not had redundancy, which was a stereo second channel, I wouldn't have had redundancy. I'd have lost the ability to have my second set up I use for part of my core sound layering. Worth a thought to those who consider such things. It's like, if your using wireless for vocals, have 3 back ups in case.....it can ruin a potential great musical moment without. Thoughts......
