Me and my family

I am Thomas Kloos, and this is my family.

This picture was taken at a family reunion in Navarre Beach Florida.

Well if you are at this page, then you probably want to know a little about me. Where to start…

I am a born again Christian, saved by the grace of God. I go to Longview Baptist Church in Unionville, TN. I host my Church’s website through my hosting company, because a popular Business Services company was ripping them off.

I am also the Audio/Video director at my Church. We currently use MediaShout to do our screen presentations, and I use Audacity to produce our podcast to iTunes.

After 20+ years, I am teaching myself guitar (again), and I play in our Church’s praise band. I currently play bass guitar in the band. I will also be helping Rex Carver produce a live Southern Gospel album this summer. I am really looking forward to that project, and I hope I get to play some bass guitar on the album as well.

I really hope that our praise band takes off, and goes somewhere. It would be totally awesome to play at other Churches and events. But right now, I don’t really have a vehicle to haul all my musical equipment around. Guess I need to start looking for a small enclosed trailer. The Behringer speaker I really have my heart set on are huge 15″ with big horns. They would probably need a small trailer all themselves.

As far as musical equipment goes, for electronics, I really like Behringer products from Germany. I have a

Eurorack UB2442FX -Pro Mixer
A500 Amplifier
Ultragraph FBQ1502 PRO Graphic Equalizer
3 Samson R21 mics, not that I can sing or anything.

I still need to complete my pack out with some speakers and stage monitors.

For personal recording, I have a

Behringer XenyX 502 Mixer
UCA200 USB controller
Behringer Ultravoice XM8500 Mic
Behringer HPM1000 Headphones

I use Mixcraft 5 for Windows 7 Ultimate, and Garage Band on Mac OS X Leopard.

For Guitars I have:

Ibanez AEG5EJP Jet Black Acoustic/Electric
Jet Black Epiphone Les Paul Special II
Squire by Fender Telecaster Special Edition Butter Scotch

I really don’t know what the Special Edition part is all about. But it’s a pretty sweet guitar for the price. It’s the affinity series Squire.

For Bass guitars, I have:

Peavey Forum Plus 4 string (Green Sparkle w/White Pickguard)
Ibanez GSR205FM 5-String Bass (Transparent Black)

For Guitar Electronics, I have:

Line 6 Floor Pod Guitar Effects Pedal
Zoom B1X Bass Effects Pedal
Audio-Technica Freeway 600 Wireless Guitar Pack

Because of these effects pedals, and the many amps they can reproduce, I only have practice amps. For performance, I hook the effects pedals directly into the mixer. It’s just the way I roll….

This list are some of the things, I consider myself:
