Tour Setup with plugins only
Added 2025-03-31 09:48:40 +0000 UTCWe just came back from our European tour with Daath. We made it! And our guitar rig was 100% plugins.
Rhythm: Bogren Digital Rev C
Leads and cleans: lots of bypass automation and preset switching between Neural DSP Petrucci, Henson, and Abasi.
And that’s it besides wireless systems and an active DI box for Eyal's guitar.
It worked close to flawlessly. And the only flaw was easily fixed.
In the end this turned out to be my signal path:
guitar -> wireless -> dl32 -> Midas m32c -> reaper -> Midas m32c -> dl32 -> foh -> iem
I'm glad technology makes that possible. There is a lot we want to improve for the next tours, and we definitely learned a lot, but I was positively surprised by the whole setup.
I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about it.

Really the main benefit is, less gear you have to carry and it’s faster to set up. And there are endless automation possibilities. But other than that it is pretty much the same as an automated processor or modeler.

2025-03-31 21:52:09 +0000 UTCAs a general tech-head, I'm fascinated by this setup! What is the benefit of running this setup vs. something like Quad Cortex/Kemper/AxeFX/Other that are automated, etc? I literally would not know since I'm not a touring musician, but I really like learning about this stuff.
