"I run wireless so I can assume rock poses for the whole show, and then throw my back out like I did the other night, but nobody knew until the next day when I complained viciously about it to everybody within earshot.

"We’ve got a bunch of packs and we switch with the JR-5 remote, which runs this [Radial JX44] and is essentially my splitter box. It gives you the opportunity to run four inputs, four outputs, change the phase, isolate the ground. It’s a brilliant piece of gear.

"So when Armando gives me a guitar, one of them might be pack A or pack B, so he switches it here before he passes over the guitar. On the guitars, B has two stripes on the pack and A has one."
