I'm just trying to cut my cost and still have the right effects for all the instruments ,vocals,drums,guitars,bass,and will be miced.It's hard rock with alot of energy coming from stage.I already a crossover & eq's in mind for mains and monitors.I'm going to be so straped on $ buying just the pa I just need some advice for the minimum as far as effects goes? I'm open minded for all advice. Ronnie_stoops@y I would stay away from the DriveRack. It is more of a Loudspeaker management system. The only combo unit I would recommend is the Presonus ACP88. 8 channels of gate/compressor. You normally do not want to compress the drums(except for the kick maybe) so you can just use the gates for drums and the other channels for vocals.
