New P.A. Day! Okay, so I got it last Friday, but I figured it still applies. I received what was left of my Pell grant and immediately headed to my local guitar shop. Got a used Crate mixer (can't think of the exact model at the moment). It's a fairly old one, maybe late 80s, early 90s, I'll have to check. It's got way more channels than I need, but I figured it will last me a while, and I'll never need to worry about not having enough inputs. Along with it I got two Mackie speakers (C200s I think), a couple of 30' speaker cables, and a Shure SM58 microphone.

And boy, does this setup sound good 8) I can't stop playing with it. I am now ready to play some real gigs when the time comes, probably when the weather warms up again. I'll try to post some pictures of the gear when I get a chance. Then I'll tell you what I paid for it. I got a good deal (I think) but I couldn't help but feel like I was a victim of highway robbery as I left the store :shock:

When I identify the model of the mixer, I also have some questions about Ohms and how many speakers/monitors it can handle, as I'm a bit fuzzy on the subject.

-Jake :P

P.S: I now understand what people mean when they say Crates are heavy. It weighs almost as much as my HR DeVille and it's 1/4 the size :lol:
