Getting closer...
Since my last post (which was far too long ago), a lot has happened, both within the band and personally.
We've really been pushing ourselves to where we feel we should sit on the circuit, which has taken a lot of energy and effort. We've also begain testing of the projection screen and brought in extra help to manage it. As well as this, I myself have started my own business, which has taken the majority of any previously spare time I had. I'm going to try and update this, as and when there are changes.
Since the last post where there were a few pedals laid on the floor, the rig has changed probably 3 or 4 times, each time getting closer to that end goal. The latest revision will see the rack go double width (like Gilmours '94 rig) and will also see the use of an Axe FX to manage the delays. This will avoid the complicated mixing that was previously employed. Reliability is very much up there with tone, as far as my priorities go with my rig.
As the rig has grown, I've had to deal with several reliability issues that come with bodging new bits of equipment in. Hopefully the new double width enclosure will allow me to have room to add something for a gig and remove it or make it a permanent fixture if it performs well.
