Behringer Mixers are my go to, cost effective, high performance digital mixers.

The Internal Router on the Behringer Mixers are not as reliable as you need when you are live. Because of this you need to use an External Router with the mixer. (Shut off the 2.4 Ghz Radio, only use the 5 Ghz Radio!)

You need a Tablet or iPad or iPhone to control your mixers. I use a Samsung Galaxy they are reliable and cost effective.

Vocal Processing is very important and the best Vocal Processor is the TC Helicon Voice Live 3 Extreme. There is a learning curve and unlimited possibilities. Patience is required to master this System.

Acoustic Guitars need specific Acoustic Guitar Amps. The best acoustic guitar amp on the market is made by a German company called AER. This is the same amp used by Tommy Emmanuelle, one of the greatest acoustic guitarists of our time.

Living in AZ, the harsh summer temperatures and low humidity are the enemy of acoustic guitars….Unless…..you own a carbon fiber Emerald Acoustic Guitar. These carbon fiber instruments are amazing and perfect for AZ and all other harsh climates you may find yourself playing in. There are entry level guitars now in the Opus line and of course build your own custom emerald with the online custom guitar builder. Its some amazing technology and you can pick out and place your chosen veneer exactly the way you want it on your guitar. These guitars are built for full time gigging and they sound amazing plugged in. I am an ambassador for Emerald guitars which means, I give people the ability to play an emerald, since I own four of them and also offer a discount code. This program exists since Emerald is located in Ireland.

Microphones are one of these most important components in the chain. Optimizing the source material (your voice) is a key component of your sound. I have tried hundreds of mics over the years. I was one of the co-owners of Dream Catcher Studios and we got to try so many different mics…what an education. My go to vocal mic is a Neumann KMS 105 condenser mic.

Bose Pro Audio are my go to for sound reinforcement. I have owned many speakers in my day and these bring a smile to my face every time I fire them up and start singing and jamming. Dr. Bose was a genius. I recommend three different systems and I own a pair of each of these. With these speakers you are covered from the small intimate home concerts all the way up to the biggest shows you will cover.

For fun I bought an Electro-Voice EV Everse 8 battery powered speaker after reading a lot of good things about these. I can tell you the battery will last forever on these. (I have gone three gigs without recharging!) For some bigger shows I will use this as one of the monitors….Sound great with onboard DSP and a great app.
