I bought this head in october of this year my band and i play out aprox. 2-4 time a month and reherse 1-2 times a week. I use this for every gig and rehersal it's yet to let me down. it is important that you use the correct speakers im powering 2 15" JBL JRX115's (soundcraft recomends these speakers)for this head. keep in mind i use this for lead and back up vocal's only, once in a while i will plug in my acustic guitar but over all this is by far one of the best heads i've used.

I bought this Soundcraft as a back up to my Mackie.Ends up being a little better in my book. Now the Mackie is the back up.It's easy to set up,easy to tote,,and sound good in every application I've used it.I daisy chain 2 Cerwin Vega INT 15's in the front and 2 community 12 monitors,,,It kicks,,,plenty of over head and sound output is clean.

I recently purchased this unit and could not be happier. This easily covers a good sized group of people. I think it would also be a great monitor in a larger set up and intend to use it that way. The inputs are very well thought out. The first four have a higher gain. The last 4 are less and for good reason. I can plug in my Line 6 X3 live and not have to mess with gain issues if I use the lesser gain inputs. My mp3 player plugs in great and acoustic guitar sounds great in the lesser gain inputs. Less feedback with the guitar. I LOVE the separate mono mix. This has been something I have wanted for a long time, but didn't want the setup hassle. I can get set up and playing in less than 30 minutes. Even faster if I really focus on it. It is practically plug and play. I like the delay effects, but wish there were more than provided. It suits my needs. I found no trouble with EQ at all. Also, I dropped this before my first gig and it fell hard on cement. The hard case did its job!!! I have had no trouble and was amazed!! You can't go wrong with SoundCraft equipment. They really know what they are doing. For the price you get good volume, good effects, good EQ and no setup headaches.

I have had mine for 3-4 years. Used it in a band I was in, band broke up a year and a half ago, decided to DJ & host Karaoke. Never any problems (knock on wood). Still using it. Currently pushing 2 Peavey 115 speakers, 2 Yamaha 112 speakers. Performing 3-5, 5 hour gigs a week. I am, and have been very pleased with this unit. Am going to buy another one to set up a second rig within a month.

Hi, reviewed this (gigrac 1000st) about 3 years ago after I bought it for my niece to use in her band. They have used it live a few times and used it as a practice pa for all those years without a problem. My niece says it's loud and clean. They are all good musicians with some members even in the Jazz program at University in Montreal. They recorded a cd using it in the spring of 2008 at an Alberta University radio station. It's served them well. As for my purchase, it was well justified, and I have no buyers remorse!
