Thank you so much for taking the time to write that. May I ask; you mention using a Mic for the guitar amps, is there any reason you suggest that rather than using a DI box and cutting out the Mic? Is that so the guitarists can still use their effects pedals? I suppose it would also save us having to buy monitors!

Lastly, you mentioned about having the mixer out in front to get the sound adjusted correctly, we played a packed pub recently where that really wouldn't have been possible, I'm wondering if I could hook up headphones to the mixer and adjust it that way, so I wouldn't have to be with it in front of the band?

Thanks again.
