Blu-Tack.
I use it for all analogue knobs or settings that can't be digitally saved.  E.g. Input gain on my Mackie DL1608, stomp box pedals, Amp settings.
Since I started this 10 years ago, I've never returned from a gig discovering a knocked dial/wrong setting ::)

This is a quick video showing the Behringer CT100 cable tester which tests a multitude of different cables. This is a no brainer for a church/venue to have at such a low cost. It is powered off of two AA batteries.

I test all of my cables about once a month to make sure everything is still functional. The intermittent function is very handy as you can jiggle a cable back and forth once connected into the CT100 to make sure the connectors have good conductivity.

If you haven't already, make sure to check out my new website https://dbbaudio.com for the latest news and updates!

This Pyle version below tests more cable types


Both include a Signal generator calibrated for -10dBu / +4dBu

That Pyle PDC22 looks like a clone of my Palmer PAN04- for $15?!?!?!?!?

You gotta be kidding, if the performance is anywhere close that's an absolute steal!!! How lucky you guys living in the States are, at least in terms of musical equipment prices....

and same as ART dPDB and Nady DI passive boxes - just different silk screen

The 1 SPOT mA Meter (that's "milliamp meter" for all you non-engineers), is a simple device for measuring the power consumption of your guitar pedals.

You're probably used to seeing power supply outputs with ratings like "100mA", which is the maximum that output can provide for a pedal. And you might have wondered whether it was enough to power your particular pedal(s). The mA Meter answers that question for you by showing exactly how much current your DC powered pedal really needs*.

No more scouring the Web for information about your pedals that might not even be accurate. Just plug your pedal into the mA Meter and see for yourself how much power it needs!

And as an added bonus, we've even thrown in a cable tester as part of the mA Meter... perfect for those last second cable checks at the gig.

* Input voltage range: 9-24Vdc; Max current displayed: 999mA

Nice!

I use Scotch brand removable mounting putty (less sticky than blu-tack) on guitar pickguards as a place to hold extra picks. If it's too sticky, just drop it (the putty) on the floor a few times. When it picks up dust & dirt, that'll tone down the stickiness. I also use it on the painted surface of my guitars, but these are modern, cheapo guitars with polywhatever finish and I don't care if the putty marks the guitar anyway.

I consider this a must have item

When learning new tunes I rely on my own chord charts, often with my own voicings.

So I have a song book with my own tabs/chords-typically just need it to jog my memory during band rehearsal until I get everything  learned and programmed in my muscle memory for songs I never played before.

This auto inker guitar chord stamp for 5 frets covers my needs-from Japan

And Blank page 5× 7.5" notebook

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CRF884D?psc=1&smid=A1ZBN2S2N5F7DZ&ref_=chk_typ_imgToDp

https://bretpimentel.com/jazz-chord-symbols-a-primer-for-the-classically-trained/

Once learned, I don't use chord charts at live gigs
And frankly I'm 300% faster just using my Sony PCM M10 recorder with variable speed and A/B repeat -or a few YouTubers who provide decent chord charts

I own every guitar tab/chord app, but it's tedious work
Instead I might just print out a Lyric sheet with intro, Verse  , Chorus , Bridge , outro all triple spaced , then stamp my own chords as needed.

Or

Just have the chords and no lyrics

But curious what other apps on IOS/Android /Mac/Windows do others use to document chords to songs Swiftly ?

For me nothing beats old school lead pencil & paper & guitar chord stamper and place the dots where my fingers go.
