I fall guilty of this sometimes as well. Lately, I've been able to give myself a few days to get over the G.A.S. when I see the next shiny thing and then come back to the realization my current performance gear (Guild Westerly, TC Ditto X2, Acoustic Fly Rig, AH ZED10FX, EV Evolve 50) is fine gear, gets the job done and sounds pretty good.

There's something to be said about this. I think most of us get GAS and lust after the latest greatest whatever. I've really tried to stay calm and resist the urge and think about if what I have gets the job done and if I'm still actually pleased with what I have. Not saying I've never faulted!

I bought my LD Systems Maui 11 G2 system back in 2017. While I've been tempted to look at things like the EV 30m, which has such nice features, my Maui is still sounding fantastic and I still get compliments on it's sound regularly. I love having my AH ZED10fx mixer at my fingertips to make quick adjustments. I've had that mixer for over 10 years and still love it. My simple pedalboard with an LR Baggs Venue, a Ditto X2 looper and TC Helicon H1 harmonizer hasn't changed for many years.

If it ain't broke.....

Yes to all of this Marty.
But we can still look

I believe that is a Boss BCB-6.
They for for ~$50 - ~$100 on Reverb.

Hope that helps. Cheers, _Roger

I keep wanting to add a Ditto looper exactly like Medford's that I haven't mastered, and will eventually return to adding a harmonizer.

The pedalboard is a battery powered Nomad, which comfortably gets me through a three-hour gig under its current light load.

Attached to my mic stand is a tablet with Songbook Pro for occasional reference and setlist order, and a dedicated smartphone to run the Quicksmart app and break music.

Behind me on the floor is an Anker 555 power station powering the 30m. Way too much (it's heavy) for what I need on a three-hour gig; I later picked up an Anker 535 which I'll test in a few weeks. Should be more than enough.

Just past my right foot is one of four battery-powered uplights I bought which really help with the vibe, makes it feel like more of an event (most spaces I play don't have their own lighting). Very expensive, but as you can see I love not having to wrestle with cords of any kind. I always have backup cords. That includes a 1/4-inch in case my wireless jacks go nuts (never have), and power cords, including a 50-footer that I used about 45 feet of at my farmers market until recently.

Wow! I am super impressed with your clean, mobile rig. What make and model uprights are those? Very classy set up Chriscom!

DONE!!

Hey Eric, do you bring that stool to your shows to sit your LB Performer on top of? I'm sure the Performer benefits from elevated to that height but the stool is kind of a bulky item to pack.

Here is one of the mini-rigs I've been using lately. This was taken at a Pool area event I played at a Ritz Carlton Resort.

Fishman Loudbox Artist - DI > Bose S1 Pro Plus (I place on my other side) Gives great monitor and widens the dispersion. Super compact and all fits on my rock n roller cart for a one cart load-in.

Portable lights are battery powered Chauvet Freedom H1.





Here is another venue where I send a DI out to the house system.
