Skan's PA technician, Scott Essen, was there every step of the way: "Feeder's FOH engineer, David Hills - a.k.a Magnus - had tried out the G2s and C2s at Glastonbury and thought they were great, so he spec'd them for the tour. We were using the G2 on drums as a standard gate, which Magnus found suited his style very well, and C2 for compression on general samples and keyboards. We used DP224 and DP226s for system control of the PA and monitors via AudioCore. The 226s are great - they sound good, and are easy to use. We used GQ600s on monitors as they are exceptionally reliable and give a balanced input and therefore a healthier signal path."
In addition, SiDDs were used as gates and comps for Aqualung, who supported Feeder on all dates. Abby Llewellyn of Skan commented: "We're always confident about using XTA equipment and Chris Hinds of beyerdynamic, XTA's UK distributor, was extremely helpful in fulfilling our requirements in advance of the tour."
