"From the Desk of Corwin Ravenhair"
 
   The CAD software I had to install on my school laptop this semester comes with a font that duplicates the standard lettering style taught to American draftsmen since the dawn of engineering.

Naturally, the first thing I thought to do with it was augment the fanfic reality.

Nall supervised in what my father, an unreconstructed pro-management right-winger, would call "the union sense" - meaning that he stood around in the general vicinity while the work was happening, contributing nothing of measurable value, but was graciously willing to have his name attached to the credit at the end. :)

   Figured as much. In my own father's parlance, this was called "strawbossing".

   While miniaturization and wireless systems undoubtedly have improved over the 400 years between now and The Future, thus making a full amp & monitor diagram mostly irrelevant, the gear nerd in me was somewhat hoping there'd be a tour of Kait's synth racks and the various pedalboards of the guitarists. Ah, well. Some people wonder about future pistol calibers. I wonder about whether or not the DS-1 will ever sound decent without a Keeley mod. :V

Unfortunately, that would require me to have some semblance of a clue about such matters, either to portray a convincing retro setup or extrapolate some futuristic version that wasn't complete bollocks. Since I don't, neither exercise would have been satisfying.

I mean, I know Kate has a Yamaha DX7 and an ARP Odyssey in her collection (the former mainly to tweak her father, the latter because she loves that weird noise it makes if you use the aftertouch without setting a voice for it), and her stage setup almost invariably includes the Odyssey and a theremin, but that's it, that's as far as the keyboard train goes. About guitar effects I know nothing whatever. :)

   Ooh, thereamin. Cool - though, now I'm slightly more sad that I'll never really hear them play.

On another note, the two positions marked 'Kaitlyn' boggled me for a second, and then my brain caught up: she moves from Mic 2 to Mic 5 depending on the song, right?

Right. On some songs she's not playing anything in the keyboard stack, so she comes out front - sometimes on guitar, sometimes just rockin' the mic stand.

   Kate wouldn't happen to have an Armonica stashed around somewhere in her collection would she? with such a collection of obscure instruments and a skilled hand at the piano it would a fitting addition

   Just give her the bare essentials; chorus, delay (think Edge from U-2), wah pedal, reverb, distortion and an old classic from the 1990's, the Big Muff ;)

Heh! Toward the end of his 2004 show Part Troll, Bill Bailey does a brief segment in which he demonstrates that the Edge could be playing "Jingle Bells" under there for all we know.

Also, Kaitlyn has been known to apply a wah pedal to almost anything, up to and including a Hammond B3 electric organ and, on one memorable occasion, Miki's mic.
