Acoustic Avadh

Nov 4 · 10:25a · 30 min · Devcon 8 Music Space, Mumbai

DRAFT rider. Built 27 Oct 2026 from the artist’s own words where they wrote to us, and from their application form where they have not yet. Never a guessed connector — where we don’t know, the page asks.

🗓️ Who / when


Set	Tue 4 Nov · 10:25a (IST) · 30 min
Who's playing	Solo — high-energy acoustic and electric guitar, voice-led.

🎒 They bring

Nothing. His application answer to "will you bring your own equipment?" is a flat "No."

What he asked us for: "Electric guitar and acoustic guitar."

He has not answered the 26 Oct tech email.

🔌 They plug into — connector by connector

#	What	Out of his side	Into the floor	Board
1	His voice	—	SM58 on a stand → XLR	1 ch
2	Acoustic guitar (house, if it appears)	depends entirely on the guitar. With a built-in pickup → ¼" out → DI box → XLR. With no pickup → a mic in front of it (SM57, or better a condenser).	unknown until we know which guitar	1 ch
3	Electric guitar (house, if it appears)	¼" out — and then it wants an amp, or a DI box straight to the board	¼" jack / DI — no amp is confirmed on the floor	1 ch

We cannot write a real connector here, because we don't know what instrument is being plugged in. That is honest, not lazy.

Channels on the board: 2–3 (voice + 1 or 2 guitars).

🏠 House provides (what Amogh listed, 26 Oct)

Mixer board with open channels — how many channels, nobody has told us yet (after 4 pm the board is shared/open for anyone).
Mics: SM57 / SM58 (vocal + instrument) and ambient mics.
One 6.35 mm (¼") jack on the floor for instruments.
PA (the room's speakers).
Nothing else is confirmed. Monitors, DI boxes, a keyboard, a DJ deck, power strips, tables: all still open questions — see below.

❓ Still missing / open

🚨🚨 Two guitars — an acoustic and an electric. Neither is on the house list, and he brings neither. "Acoustic Avadh" with no guitar is not a set. He has to be told this week.
🚨 Does the acoustic guitar have a pickup? This single fact decides between a DI box and a mic. Ask whoever supplies the guitar.
A guitar amp for the electric (Twin-Reverb-class is what the room rider proposes) — or a DI box if we go amp-free.
Mic stand + a monitor wedge (he sings and plays; he needs both in his ears).
Guitar stand / strap / picks / spare strings — small things, but a borrowed guitar arrives with none of them.

📣 One line for Amogh

Acoustic Avadh, Nov 4 10:25a, 30 min: he brings nothing — he needs a house acoustic guitar and an electric guitar, plus an SM58, a stand and a wedge. Does the acoustic have a pickup (DI) or not (mic)? That answer finishes his patch.

🎛️ Status

Drafted from his application words — not confirmed by the artist

Silent on the tech email. The instrument question is bigger than the connector question here.
