For a decade, Bruce Jones stood at front-of-house and shaped the sound that tens of thousands of fans heard at every Carlos Santana concert. As Santana's FOH engineer, Bruce was the last set of ears between the stage and the crowd — and this is one of the tools he used to get there.
This is an original stage-used guitar monitor mix box from Carlos Santana's touring rig, hand-labeled "Carlos GTR Mix #3" with a secondary routing label reading "Carlos GTR. #3 SR" (Stage Right). The rugged aluminum enclosure features multiple top-mounted XLR connectors and carries the unmistakable patina of years of live touring — tape residue, road grime, and all. What you see is exactly what left the stage.
This box is an authentic, unrestored field unit, offered directly from Bruce Jones' personal collection.
