And when if the room gets loud with the bose you still have to have a monitor, jus like everything else , they be monitor outs on them tone match bose mixer for that reason . Hold your mouth right..

Have to use xr18 to make it sound great , but then you got over 3,000 in one speaker . But you have to have 2 bumping 6 grand , also Bose is great in a listening room But it ain't gonna cut it in a parking lot full of happy people,. Two qsck8.2 and a 500.00 mixer sound great and smoke the bose . Iv had both , . Sold tha bose got Qsc and a sound craft mixer. I will say this , I played a gig in a listening room with two of the newest versions of the bose , the venue used an xr18 as the mixer just me on guitar and vox and a pedal steel player , the steel player did not go into the pa used a fender twin . The sound was fantastic. Did not need monitors . But it was a small 50 seat room and with polite people . And it was a medium volume. Iv got a lot of stuff , it's got to the point I just take a Roland ( not boss) cube street headphones out into a k8.2 for solo and duet gigs , and always get asked back , makes me want to kick myself for wasting all that time and money .. Good luck ..

You can hook up any mixer to the Bose, I would never do a gig without knowing what sound I was gonna have. You should have found out what system they wanted or had and you could have hooked a mixer up to it and had the sound you always have.

Yes, that are exactly my thought. Bose seems to be only good for instrument and pure tv speaker, as for singing… QSC and Mackie seem to do better job. 👍

Thank you. Just affirmed what I was thinking. I am leaning towards getting the Pro 32 but I'm going to bite the bullet for the T4S too. But hey, my wife and have been using the QSC SRM's with RFC subs and a mixer. That shit is getting old to lug around at 61 years old.

Cant believe i am just finding this now, 3 years later. When it comes to speaker reviews on the internet, it is always from DJ's, but a singers requirement is totally different,... i was considering getting a Bose , but as you say, we singers are plonked in awkward places and we want the sound slightly infront of us, so the 180 degree coverage actually causes more issues. I also like the fact that you pointed out that as singers we have to put our vocals on top of the music if using backing tracks and also on top of the noise floor generated by the crowd, which is a whole other headache that DJ's dont have to deal with . I persoanlly prefer EV' speakers for the warm sound but they dont have great vocal throw,.. i now use the new RCF 945's,.. great throw, but i have to EQ to try and tame doen the harshness. Anyway, great review,.. and reefreshing to hear a fellow singers persepctive on speakers.

Thanks man. Still good four years on.

Hey brother, after all these years you still liking the K and K Pure Mini? Debating whether to get it installed on my J45!

Sweet guitars bro. Thanks for the nice reviews, full of great info and nice playing

Lyric requirement might be in ear monitors at a mid/large gigs with PA well forward and away from drummer-but yeah good luck with that. Small gigs at a coffee shop it is sweetness.

Hey Gary, nice name by the way, mine too. LOL! Really enjoyed your playing and tips for an acoustic setup. Very helpful!!

Love the all Boss pedalboard, great tones!

Thanks for your video. I’ve run into similar issues with the Muffroom. I thought it was my dirty electrical issues. I’ve got a Camouflage coming tomorrow. I’ll explore my pedal chain…

Lyric sounded better in this video

I appreciate the candor of this video and the real world applications you address. I agree with you and am in a similar boat considering returning my L1 Pro16 and continuing to use my QSC.

Great demo and lovely playing 👌 I get my k&k in my Martin 000-15 yesterday and it sounds great 👍 hugs from Sweden

Im back. I use the LR Baggs Chorus, Reverb, and Delay. They are amazing for acoustic guitars. Your playing and singing is really nice.

sounds great, does your aer have di outs? I got a da capo 75 that has them but haven't used it in to a powered speaker.

Your vocals and guitar on The Way It Is sound excellent! I am thinking about installing that K&K pickup system on my Eastman E6SS-TC guitar and really appreciate all of the advice you shared. 👍

Had a similar experience with a house Bose. The next time I performed there, I brought my Yamaha DXR10mkii and an EAE Stompmix 4. Two pieces to set up and was way happier with the sound control/options. The Stompmix pedals are really good.

If your speaker is behind you, how to you prevent feedback?

Good demo. Thanks.

Jesus man ur killing it . Wtf Man U sound good damn

Not every venue has the limited options regarding speaker placement. Any powered speaker sounds much better going through a mixer first. Between the pre amp and added eg etc results are much better. Plus with a mixer you have the option of running an in ear system. We’ve gotten lazy when it comes to setting up gear. I mean really how much more time and effort does it take to set up a small mixer like a Mackie vlz4, put it on a small stand, plug in your guitar and vocal and a music player run an output line to the Bose? What 5 minutes tops. If you’ve got a 3 or 4 hour gig isn’t the extra time worth it? You don’t even need a separate in ear pack. You can run a line out of the headphone straight to your in ear head phones, which protects your ears from proximity to the Bose and you can hear everything in stereo. QSC is cool too. I have both. The room dictates what system I bring. Bottom line is I’m not gonna suffer through a gig just to save 5 or 10 minutes of “extra” time to set up and break down.

Nice picking! Couple of nice boxes there, great advice!

Hey mate, great video. New to buying my own music equipment and doing a ton of research to the point of nausiam now 😅. As a singer wanting to buy one of these PA Array line speakers to play House / Dance from and sing using a wirless beta58a mic, would you have any recommendations at all?. P.s I dont play instruments.

Thanks, Brother!

thanks man. You are so generous with your knowledge and experience. I really appreciate it.

miss this

I use LR Baggs Anthem pick ups in all my guitars…it’s the only way to get an accurate representation of the true character and tone playing live. I turn up the volume up on the pickup until it just starts to register and then set the gain on the PA or house sound…this avoids all the pickup catching strap noises etc. LR Baggs Anthem allows you to blend between the mic and piezo too…which is awesome.

Sir, thank you for making me get back to my 80s! I wound up selling my BCB-6 with pedals in 1988, for an "up to date" ME-1 I think kkkk... Now at 51, I bought them all again, happy and regretting that youngst choice! My set is (left to right) Power Supply Master Switch - Compressor Sustainer - Heavy Metal - Chorus - Equalizer - Digital Delay. I plan to remove de PSM and include an Over Drive before de HM. Didin't know about the ASA/PSA point you commented, I will look for a specialist to do so. Thank you so, so much! And Happy New Year from your friend from Brazil :. !

Dude. That cooks. I love it!

Yep, I have a Lyric in a Martin CEO5. It sounds great BUT, as you indicated...it doesn't work well on stage because it will feedback quite easily if the PA Amp is set other than rather low. It works OK at, say a coffee-shop gig but it's really not usable for "louder" gigs, even as a solo performer.

Hi Gary, brilliant video. How do you go about utilising the boost with looper on the Venue DI? My understanding is if you record a loop and want to solo over it with a boosted signal, the Venue will basically boost everything going through the effects loop... just trying to work out the best way to have a boost over the loop

Your playing style is wicked!

Same Problem with the Morning Glory and the Archer

Amazing! I love this song and video, Gary!

I had the BCB-6 too.. A DD2 , The OD2 , The CS-2 , The DC2 and the PS something power supply pedal which took up one pedal space !! I nearly cried watching this.😢😊

In an alternate universe, Biff went back to the past and brought back the glorious vintage BCB box instead of the Almanac 😅

Great playing and a great tone with both pickups!

Looking to mic/electrify my Martin D35... I'm leaning towards this k&k mini... Any issues with using the feedback buster hole cover with that system?

A Good demo , and I heard you play some notes from a Song by. Dan Fogelberg which was Nice 😉

dude thank you so much for explaining why I mix too much bass into my mic and why listeners dont like it as much as i do. My wife is always telling me to turn down my bottom end. Ha I just thought women don't get it

As a retired, burned-out, has- been hillbilly lawyer from Norman, Okla living in Spring, Texas who lost everything and everyone, including my mind, I didn't have anything to lose from watching this video. I'm glad I did, though because today, and for the first time I realized they forgot to take away what is of the greatest value, my sense of humor! That and a pair of pajamas for wandering off at night in. I've also gained something, a newfound respect and appreciation for Gary Patrick. I'm going to be doing Yucatan in the Yucatan until I pass away from loneliness.

The best presentation and explanation of optimizing the highest utility of technology concerning a good and well-thought-out pedal board. Also, Gary is an excellent guitarist and singer.

Great playing and solid advice. All the best to you!

love it 🔥

quote from Meris pedal designer: The klon sounds great. But, the charge pump used in it (and it's clones) is noisy. It has a switching frequency which is way too close to the audio band for comfort. The pedal's output looks ugly on a scope. And this noise, which is injected straight into your signal path, can cause audible problems with DSP based pedals further along in your chain. -terry

charge pump in the archer?
