It can't grow if you don't water it! Duh....
-
I wonder what got spilled on it?

I had some peavey cs800 boat anchors about 25 or so years ago that got smoke damaged in a fire. Water hose and sunshine and they kept going for years. Only advantage I can see over new 7 pound amps.

Oh no, looks like the guy I purchase my mixer from! Lol
-
It had a little dust in it.... So I'll clean it with the hose!

Bar air grunge deposits and a healthy douse of cheap beer.
He is using de-ionized water, right? :P
-
What it's not water proof?
Cheap beer, soap and water will take care of that!
Smh! Never would I do this! Never!

Sammy I think some of the old peavey stuff is invincible! I have a old rack in storage with 3 peavey m-3000 mark v amps. They have been trough a fire and flood and still kick! They just never get used due to the fact they weigh 1,000,000 pounds and lack of power.

Some electronic assemblies are very washable. Some are not. Nothing wrong with this if you remove the problem assemblies and have a very good drying plan.

I've washed boards this way and then put them in a large commercial pizza oven to speed up the drying process. A little cheese and garlic and ..... BAM. Yummy stuff.

Maybe is so screwed up that he figured he had nothing to loose ;D

Wouldn't fit in the dish washer.

It looks very loose to me. He should have tightened those screws up!
Steve.

wonder if he cleaned that wall first. that could be a problem.
-
Bake in oven at 250 degrees for 3 weeks to dry!
[edit;] corrected oven typo

Judging from the amount of water in the street and the fact that he's taken the back off, I'm guessing that he's already washed the inside of it.

Good point!
I had a mixer that was wet two days in a row each morning, I had suspected the leaking tent, and condensation, though I had covered the board.
On the third day, a few channels started flaking out and the board started making noise on the main outputs.
Got a spare board in place, took the mixer out of the case and found the case had gallons of water sponged in the foam on the bottom, and water literally poured out of the mixer.
Turns out sprinklers in the tent had been coming on each night and spraying the console from underneath, the board cover had directed the flow in to the case.
It took three days for the corrosion to start, if the hose jockey in the OP does properly dry the board off before start up, all may be well, or better than it was ;).

You know if you ever drop a camera in salt water you should soak it in a bucket of fresh water. Really! I didn't believe it either but I learned it from pros. I'm talkin' expensive cameras like the old Nikon F4! Apparently salt water will destroy delicate electronic connections but fresh water does no harm once dried out. Not sure how this relates to washing a mixing console though. :o

He should put it in a big bucket of rice! That's what we do to wet cell phones...

I had a beat old band box truck about ten years ago that the roof of the box started leaking from snow.I got to a gig in the winter and I just thought it was frost on the sides of the amp rack.Once I started setting up the power amps started to thaw and water was running out of the rack.One of my Mackie 1400i's I had had chunk of ice in it.Dryed it out for a week and it worked for years.

He clearly favors a very wet sound.
-
It's a little hard to tell for sure, but that hose may actually be coiled with an over/under technique.
-
The singer did say he wanted mic to sound a little wet....
-
*I* think he favors a "clean" sound
-
maybe they are looking for the flood of sound, similar to the wall of sound.
-
Ahhhh, I get it. This is how you tune a rig for a turboflood setup.

I have a sound system in Pella, IA that went through a flood. Water poured into the basement of a farmhouse through a sunken window. Three feet of water in the basement.
Mackie 1604vlz Mixer
8 channels of AudioTechnica 3000 wireless in SKB case
8 bodypacks with headsets
4 handheld
2 Distribution Amps
Bag of rehargeable batteries and chargers
12 AudioTechnica MB4000C SDC
My Kaces 12 space mic bag
1 Crown PZM 30D
1 Crown PCC 160
System wiring case with RS SLM, Ebtech Swizz Army CT and a Horizon Stereo Di box
Toolbox with mic cables
12 Ultimate MC40b Mic stands in On Stage speaker stand bags
All got soaked by Iowa farmland water for 2 days. After the flood subsided, my friend who owned the house disassembled most of it and gace evrything a good rinsing. We lost two wireless handhelds and two SDCs. The wireless rack I disassembled two years later and dumped a lot of dirt out of it.
It now resides in the guys school. The direct box still shows signs of dirt,but does pass audio and I want a Radial anyway.
The mic slotfoam in the mic bag had to be replaced. Yeah Penn-Elcom.
I will be using all the above equipment at a gig this Memorial Day, and then later on this year at It all still works pretty well.
