BEHRINGER SHARK DSP-110 (at right side):

The "SHARK" is a little digital (24-bit) box who performs very well. It has a mic preamp with +48V phantom power. Clip level and lo-cut filter. A simple GATE which works pretty ok I think. A compressor with adjustable density level and speed (attack and release time). The automatic feedback filter we have no use for.

BEHRINGER Mini FBQ-800:

Ultra compact 9-band graphic equalizer (with FBQ feedback destroyer, not used) this fits the mini rig perfectly, and the output from the EQ goes to the iBOX, and then to the ACC input in the back of the IC-729.
