QSC K8, Mackie ProFX 8,DPA 4099G, DeVoe Best Live set up I’ve used

I have found a live PA set up that I really like and I think captures the sound of my playing on the DeVoe’s very faithfully and clean. I am using one my DeVoe’s either a Negra or Blanca, with the DPA 4099 G mic that goes straight to the Mackie Pro Fx 8 Mixer. On the mixer I have the mic pre at about 4 o’clock, all the mic channel eq are at 12 noon and then I use effects number 8 at 50% and cut a few of the frequencies on the graphic eq. Then straight to the QSC K 8. Thats it and it sounds like I am in my studio.

Live Set Up DeVoe, Shure or DPA, Mackie, QSC

In the ever evolving set up for that ultimate tone I have stumbled across a set up that I actually like quite a bit. Its my DeVoe guitars Blanca and Negra, with a Shure KSM 141 Mic (bass rolled off) or the DPA 4099G Mic (which is nice in that I don’t need a mic stand), Mackie ProFX 8 (number 8 verb@12 noon) eq. on mic pre flat, graphic eq a few frequencies tamed (see pic) QSC K 8 Speaker and Powered amp in one 1000watt package at 28 Lbs.
