Lil' Racks

OK, everybody just simmer down, we don't want to be acting like a bunch of drummers, do we? Of course not.

From now on this thread is about the small, light, powerful and made right here, Crown XLS new line of power amps (I know, the XLS was made before, I'm talking since June 2010.) Anyone else use one? I think they will be very popular for live sound.
 
ok ok rookie question, what exactly racks for? i know they can hold your head and tuner, but why do people go so damn crazy over them? and why are they so expensive?
they double as protection for your rackable gear so you don't have to buy a separate road case. however, i'm with you. i don't care for racks, either. i quit using rackable heads, though, so if i did have a rackable head, i'd probably still use one.
 
Natalie is very pretty, but her head looks like it's been photoshopped onto the body on an 11 year old boy in that pic.

lil racks are fun...they work harder....:hiding:

Work smarter, not harder. :smug:

Well, this goes way off topic but:
- if you want to use a certain preamp, or a certain poweramp (most use PA amps), or if you switch pre or poweramps often
- if you want to use rack-mountable effects, or you want to fit a tuner or power conditioner in there
...racks are the way to go.
