Anyone know why they only put a 10mbps jack on there? I mean it would be like 30 cents to make it 10/100, at least I would think. The TCP stack is the same and the DHCP config is the same....it just irks me.
I would get a new guitar amp. The Line 6 doesn't do it for me. Have you considered a vintage Fender? A vintage Marshall? A VOX AC30? A Matchless? Anything??
I went to a flea-market once and got 500 reusable zip ties for 5$. That was about 6 years ago and I probably still have 350 of them. If you can find them, use them. They rock and help cable management a ton. Also, cut your power cords and attach new ends to them, that will make them custom...
I've heard mix reviews on the DDX board. I almost bought one once and then got the TASCAM DM-24 instead.
An M8 is great idea no matter what though, 8 good preamps for under a grand is always a plus.
SM-7 should be a great start to a vocal chain. I love that mic. I find it works VERY well for male singers, and raspy females. I think you might want something that either

I second the rocktron vote. I don't remembe the exact model, but a friend of mine had a rocktron preamp that rocked. It was red on the front, if that helps.
Of course you could always get a Marshall JMP100, but I don't care for them much. Also there is the POD Pro.
Most digital mixers and controllers can do portions/all of the control of a BRC. I use my DM-24 to start/stop/ arm tracks etc. However since you have a Mackie 16 chn board, that might not be the best option. You might just want to get a BRC of of Ebay. They are pretty darn cool.
I have a smokey amp that is made out of an old marlboro red package. They are now banned and smokey amps doesn't use cigarette packaging anymore. They use cheap plastic. The thing is damn cool and can fit whereever a pack of smokes can. Anyway, might not be what you wanted.....not sure
I did a search, that was how I found this thread. I was hoping for live input...not canned stuff already written. Time has passed since the mic came out and everyone was speculating, so I wanted actual opinions and results.
