Rewiring The Rack
I put a little time into rewiring my gear rack for the upcoming 80s Invasion gig. I’m using a shorter signal path these days, and I wanted to rebuild my patch panel to make setup easier at gigs. The most important change to the interior of my rack was going through all the wiring and replacing the patch cables. In the previous configuration I had a rack-mounted POD Pro, but I’ve replaced it with the floorboard version (POD XT Live). I built two sets of StarQuad wired cables with Neutrik plugs for the internal routing. I also assembled a new rear panel, which I punched with three 1/4″ interconnects, a MIDI connector, and an XLR. In order to streamline my setup / teardown time, I’ve built a new snake to connect between the rack and pedalboard. Next up: find a new handtruck / cart to move my gear around.
