Hi John, I have had no problem at all with the projector in our “boom boom” room, so I think it is safe!

Hey, I have a question. I also have a projector setup, and Im scared it will mess up my lens. I dont have my projector mounted to the ceiling so im scared the fog will gather on the lens, because thats what dust loves to do! Has anyone noticed it messing up or making smudges on the lens of projectors? Thanks!

It works on all rock band games, even track packs and stuff. It would be nice if they could make this work on guitar hero somehow, then i would never stop playing between the two games though and probably not have a life, haha.

Purchased this awsome piece of equipment a week or so ago. And now, I can’t play Rock Band 2 with out it. I think they did just near perfect to what was needed for that extra Rock Band gaming experience. Of course, aside from the short DIN connector. Which I will now resolve by purchasing the extender on eBay. Awsome, Awsome, Awsome!

Another Stage Kit tip: IMO it works best when you place it somewhere in front of the band, facing them. It can be angled a bit so it’s not directly in the eyes, obviously — but this way the smoke + led + strobe combine for best effect while playing!

Also I got my first refill of fog juice from Guitar Center; any water-based fog will do. The new stuff hangs a lot longer, as it’s “designed for large rooms” versus the “atmospheric” fog that was bundled with the kit.

One note on the stage kit, the cable between the fogger and the control pod is way too short (3 feet?).

Fortunately, you can buy any male to male 6-pin mini DIN connector online to substitute. I just bought a 10 foot cable on eBay for $6 shipped.

I bought this on Friday. It actually is pretty awesome. I feel like a huge geek and a fake plastic bad @$$ all at the same time. ^_^

I kinda poo-pooed this on my site a while back (http://rbexperiment.blogspot.com/2008/10/just-stupid.html) but seeing it in action looks really awesome for parties. A bit too much for my blood right now, but it does look good. Thanks.
