Tour schedule to be determined

Well, long story short, I ran out of holes to put it in! The jack plug that is. The audio one. Ah ok I’ll do the slightly longer story. I have a crummy soundcard with too few line-in jacks. Especially now, as some collegues of mine talked me into learning to play the bass guitar. Which is a project of it’s own - might get more into that some other time.
Anyway - the need for more holes, as well as the need for a pre-amp for the guitar, lead me to purchase this baby - the Behringer Eurorack UB-802. It’s a 8 channel mixer with 3 channel equalizers for each input, 2 separate buses, separate monitor, control room and tape outputs, pre-amps and 48v phantom current for the 2 mono channels… Way overkill for my needs, but at around €60 it was almost as cheap as a decent pre-amp alone!
I’m loving it - just need to get some cables. The stereo channels are unbalanced, i.e. inputs are 2x 1/4″ mono jacks, and I don’t have much of that lying around.
