Same here. I also agree with panning. Watching a few tutorials on how to pan your mix was a big game changer.

One church I play at.... they seems to pan the singers for the audience. When the singers talk in the their mics, I would look the opposite direction... haha... I do prefer a stereo mix personally. I could fix it... but It doesn't bother me that the singers are on opposite sides.
When we have rehearsals at my house I'll load a scene on my X32R where the mixbus personal mixes are panned. I provide the IP and password to connect to... so they can control their own personal mix on the mobile device. Since I can see all their mix settings on my Mac (m32 edit).... I find it funny that some will center the panned mix that I set up for them. I don't overwrite my saved scene's, so they always center the panned mixes every time we rehearse at my house.

Just finished Sunday morning service. (It's Sunday morning in Australia) Pretty happy tonally with everything. However I had to use my HXS for all my drives rather than the Agro as it was super noisy thru the system. No idea why. Can only imagine I have my preamp and agro on the same power daisy chain on the DC7 and getting some interference thru the XLR cable? Very odd. Everyone loved the saturated tones driving everything.
Daisy chaining pedals is very hit or miss for me. Sometimes it works sometimes it's noisy depending on the pedals.
**Edited**
Used the board in a massive system last night and it was fine, and has been fine generally. First time I've had an issue. Phantom power was likely switched on, on my channel due to it normally having an active DI on it. I expect this was the issue.

Whenever I have pedalboard noise issues (DC power cable or patch cables), it's usually just dirty contacts for me. I just spray the ports and connectors with contact cleaner like DeoxIT... and 99% of the time... noise is gone.
Ya know, your advice is probably something rolling around in the back of my head, but just hasn't made the neuron jump to "shazaam!"
Definitely need to try this out.
Thanks!
If the DC or patch cable isn't broken, contact cleaner is worth a try. I had a sound guy say there was noise coming from my bass about month ago... I was touching all my connectors and he said noise went away. Turned out to be my Cali76 v2... and I'm using an isolated power supply. When I got home, I connected it to my mixer, and sure enough... it was my Cali76. Got the contact cleaner, and sprayed the connector and port. Noise is gone... even when jiggling the cables... and never had a complaint since. When I updated my pedalboard recently... I used contact cleaner on everything. Pedalboard is silent.
Ok…I’ve reached final iteration territory.
My RNDI is going head to head with Neptunium. I like each for different reasons but Neptunium HPF w/bass boost is very tasty.
Got the new tone hammer for the board but I’m keeping the old one to use as a leave at church option for me or others.
The goal of this setup is to switch between the Tone Hammer and DCX depending on the song or setlist, or what bass I’m using. Or turn both off when playing acoustic.

I love my Neptunium. The sound, features, footprint, it’s just a win-win win all the way around.
Had a look on his website, it shows it's available on back order, but I have also read that he made them for a bit but doesn't wish to continue making them as they aren't his design. Do you know if they are actually available?
I am rostered on again this Sunday, looks like there will be no guitarist and the songs laid back and not needing much other than a good warm bass tone.
I have resigned myself to the fact that I like to experiment with different combos of effects, and to that end I have kept my Nano empty, with a Cioks 4 underneath. I am seriously considering using tuner/Effectrode LA-1A/Jad Freer Capo on Sunday. Anyone used a LA-1A and Capo together? I am worried it will almost be too much of a good thing. To tuber and lacking definition.
Has anyone used this combo?

I use this combo every week. Works for me and sounds good. Also use stomp with it
They are currently in stock.
The owner Nathan is very responsive if you message him directly or ask in the sushi thread.
It’s “based” on the Noble. Meaning same eq, transparent tube gain stage into transformer DI out but most definitely his design.

New pedalboard friendly RNDI-M....

Only thing I don't like is that it is taller than the original RNDI. Still can't hide it under a pedaltrain without modding and lifting the board.
