Dave Welsh's Gear
"[FOH and monitor engineer Mark] Maher comments that VerTec has proved a flexible choice in all the different venues, where the system has frequently had to be ground stacked, a situation where the VerTec line array works particularly well. The Digidesign Venue is Maher's console of choice, and one of the reasons he likes it is because of its warm and natural sound. He took advantage of the console's extensive onboard processing, and ran just two additional Avalon VT737 valve compressors on the two guitars."
