RE: How Do We Sabotage Our Live Performances

Like some others here I'm all too ready to integrate a new piece of gear into my rig  days/hours before playing with it live. 
Take my advice DON'T DO IT!. 
Play safe, with confidence and allow yourself to concentrate on the performance, (I'm tailing to myself here)...

Peace,

Gareth
