hi everyone...mike here. i am primarily a guitar player, but also play keyboards. i love the user's forum. read it every day!
as far as our group...we are 4 old farts that love playing music. you can check out details about the history of
the band at http://www.blackieandthebullets.com/
 
as far as gear.....here's our setup..
my stuff...guitars ...strat plus/epi dot deluxe/ibanez s470..randall 1/2 stack tube amp
pedal board with vintage ibanez chorus, blues driver, boss dd3 digital delay, morley wah/volume..
of course the korg i-30, which drives the IH harmonizer and an Alesis SR-16, via midi, and  that supplies click
track to drummer and rest of us on "midi" songs...rather than have a bigger group, we do a lot
of songs playing along to smf files that i pre-arrange..more $$ for us with only 4 in the band..but we
can sound like an 8 piece horn band if we want to! we also do about 1/2 of our songs "live", just
guitar/bass/drums...we actually wud prefer having a keyboard player, and not having to deal with
a click, but like i said $$ is a factor, and most keyboard players are geeks....JUST KIDDING!
i also use a topaz light controller, so i customize a track on the i30 to "play" the lights. adds
a lot to our show, to have lights customized 
for each song. and have another track for 
harmonies for the ih harmonizer. 
we mic everything, bass, drums, guitar, etc..
i do the mix from the stage. we have a mackey 
16 ch mixer, peavy pa / 18" subs and 15" 3ways..
plus assorted effects,etc. i also have a cassette 
deck in my rack, so we tape every performance. 
they usually
turn out pretty good, but the main purpose is 
so we can critique ourselves later.
anyway, been playing music for about 40 years 
now (i just turned 50! yikes!)...and love it. 
what a release
from the stresses of life. great therapy. i 
enjoy reading the forum, and have learned 
so much about
the wonderful i-30 from you guys 
(cuz you sure cant learn much from the manuals). 
take care, god bless,
and keep those cards and letters coming.
