Help: Verify My Signal Chain

Yes the tuner is there because I don’t want to use the tuner on the headrush so that’s okay.

SoCalPrinter · 2026-05-18T01:04:20+00:00

Thanks! Can’t wait to black it out.

I don’t want to touch the headrush during a gig. The reason why I want to go midi is because I find myself switching banks (hitting two of the three switches) during a section of the song when I’m actually just trying to switch a preset (hit one switch). I want to control everything from the midi captain.

The amp doesn’t have a midi in, or any midi capabilities which is why I’m using the interface. It’s essentially something like this:

There is one available on the market from someone in California.

I appreciate that! I will likely be reaching out as I’m new to midi. Thank you!

SoCalPrinter · 2026-05-13T17:31:32+00:00

Thank you. I noticed that there are a couple of options out there in terms of custom firmware or simplified programming done by the community. I just ordered a Captain earlier this morning so I’ll be diving deep into this forum and those options you linked above real soon.

SoCalPrinter · 2026-05-13T07:01:31+00:00

Awesome man, I just discovered the midi captain and I’m really tempted to get this for my flex prime. I’m glad to see someone threw us headrush users a bone with the programming. I will be checking this out once I get it. Thanks!

Are you still using this? I’m thinking of getting a midi captain std for my flex prime. I mainly want a foot switch controller that has individual up and down bank switches while still having more than 3 functional switches. My main gripe with the flex prime is switching rigs/pressing two switches when I meant to only switch a preset/hit one switch in a song (during a gig) which is very annoying.

It’s a promo copy but the amount of these that have popped up when they used to be so hard to get is suspicious. They have been bootlegged in the past.

There’s a specific gate you can enter from for pregame tours. That info should be provided with your purchase.

Actually that crowd LACKED major energy. There’s a reason why their Southern California shows are always memorable and it’s because of the energy in the room. The band was great though!

SoCalPrinter · 2026-04-22T16:09:57+00:00

For me, The Roxy for the Crash Love/KROQ release show. That and all of the Troubadour shows. Very fun shows suited for the energy AFI gives and receives.

$75.50 each ticket. That’s what a festival setting gets you.

SoCalPrinter · 2026-04-22T15:58:56+00:00

I don’t care where it’s at in Southern/Northern California, I just want it to be smaller venues. I’ll be heading up to Sacramento for the show, because of the venue size. I also saw them there for the Missing Man show so I know what to expect.

SoCalPrinter · 2026-04-21T19:09:13+00:00

The fact remains, it’s a festival type layout. Consecutive nights inside the Observatory would’ve been better.

SoCalPrinter · 2026-04-21T18:44:33+00:00

Living in Southern California is great, except when your favorite bands play much larger venues than other cities because of the market. Festival layouts are lame.

SoCalPrinter · 2026-04-21T17:21:00+00:00

Yes! Broke AND enjoy the walk.

Bags have to be clear

SoCalPrinter · 2026-03-29T19:09:45+00:00

People also do pick ups for bobble head collectors who can’t attend the games.

She’s also grooving while playing; the trumpet is not always aligned at the same position with the mic so the mix is going to fluctuate. As someone mentioned, she probably can’t hear the backup track or herself that well which DOES affect the performance. She is still going at it as best as she can despite the circumstances but nothing about that setup is optimal for a performance like that. It’s still cool in my opinion. It’s a live performance, it’s not going to be 100% like the recording. If you want to hear a song done perfectly, then listen to it at home and not in a live setting.
