"With this setup, I'm able to have a fully functioning recording studio on the road," Ebdon reports. "The MADIface card takes up virtually no space and I can get it in my computer bag. With that, along with the D5's fantastic functionality and very small footprint-I've got one small rack at FOH and one on stage with one thin cable linking it all-I can get great results."
Ebdon has been able to get most of what he needs from the D5's onboard sound palette, and is carrying only a handful of additional external effects for this tour including a Focusrite Producer Pack, a TC6000 for extra and different-sounding reverbs, and a De-Esser for Adam Levine's lead vocals. His 'not-so-secret-weapon' is a Hedd192 Crane Song signal processor.
