Mackie DFX-8 And Digitech Vocal 300: How Funky Is Too Funky?

June 13, 2008
Bruce Lamont Mackie DFX-8, Digitech Vocal 300

We really can't get enough of Bruce Lamont, and this video may as well be exhibit "A" as to why. As the sax player in Yakuza -- an experimental metal-jazz group out of Chicago -- Bruce employs a live effects rig that might baffle or even intimidate a lesser FOH mixer. That's why he employs a Mackie DFX-8 and a DI to help make a sound guy's life a little easier. See? Being thoughtful and rocking hard are not mutually exclusive!
