At last Saturdays outdoor gig we go soaked big time. The sound stage is a pretty pro set up by Audio Images, top and back cover but no side cover. Scattered Thunderstoms predicted, 30% chance. long story short we got hit by very high winds 50-60 mph maybe stronger and rain, the rain was going side ways of course coming in on my side of the stage. My rig, basses and pedals got soaked even under tarps, I am still kicking myself for not putting the basses in their cases. We were watching storms to the NE and this came up from the SW, the wind came up just like that, no warning. It could have been much worse. I have three pedals that are not functioning I have them opened up and in a container of rice, they were wet inside. I hope drying them out helps but if not I can take them to Whirlwind to be fixed, Thanks to my brother inlaw Michael
the founder of Whirlwind. I had my Hiwatt DR201 and Sound City 200plus on stage The tarps kept most of the water out but I am sure not all, they are drying out at the moment. I am petrified to fire them up. Should I pull the tubes from the sockets to make sure they dry out? Any advice would be welcome.
