..though it looks now like this deal may have already sold out..

nearly a grand and a half knocked down to £399 clearance was too tempting...

Be cool if a mudcatter was able to benefit...???

though there still appears to be 5 of Soundcraft GB4-40 40-Channel Mixer left...

http://www.gear4music.com/PA-DJ-and-Lighting/Soundcraft-GB4-40-40-Channel-Mixer/TPT

three thousand three hundred down to £899

though this deal price is maybe not so folk club semi pro band friendly...

These deals are simply a reflection of the way technology is heading at the moment. Who wants to be tied to a desk and multicore cable when it's cheaper and more convenient to plug everything into a box on stage and run the PA, with as many effects as you can shake a stick at on every channel, via wifi, with an iPad?

Absolutely..
That's the future, and better for it...

but, there's still a stubborn love for analog mixers amongst die hard enthusiasts,
..for instance.. me.. [a massive 'pro' upgrade from entry level Yamaha & Behringer compact mixers]

....and now is a great [probably last ?] time for securing these kinds of blow out deals for brand new boxed equipment at better than 2nd hand prices...


Another weird manifestation of bloke in a shed folkie mentality..

A spare bedroom, and any other rooms in the house I can get away with,
project studio
combining a central analog mixer, and mix of modern digital gear, and plenty of accumulated analog hardware...

Old bloke man cave nostalgic workspace and museum.. a living tribute to the glorious era of Joe Meek DIY creativity... 😎
