The
Yamaha EMX5016cf is a 16 channel powered
stereo mixer with 1000 watts of power (500 watts per side). More than enough for what I do.
It has a 9 band Equalizer and a variety of different
effects. In addition to the basic powered mixer stuff, it has some
very cool features like 'Automatic Feedback Suppression' and 'Auto EQ'.
Sound, of course, starts with the
guitar. But if you play directly through the PA like me, you need a great
guitar processor. The
PODxt
Pro, by
Line 6, is the
ticket. It emulates several
vintage guitar amps, effects pedals and has great tone. Even the tube
amp die-hards are impressed and thats no easy task. Combined
with the
FBV Short Board below, you have complete control.
I also use it's kidney bean shaped little brother (PODxt)
in my studio.
