What's the volume of the 44 like compared to the ISP?
I have the ISP but it's such a beefy shape I'm struggling to fit in on my board.
If the 44 can hold it's own then I'm tempted by it.
To tell the truth, I don't test 44 magnum at the band rehearsal yet, even though I already tested iSP with AX8 at the band rehearsal.
I went to the rehearsal studio alone and just tested 44 to make sure my created some tones of AX8 at musical studio with loud volumn.
I set the level of 44 to 9 clock and the output level of AX8 to 9 clock at that time.
I felt it' enough loud even if you play with your band and I also have more room for AX8 output level.
I don't know whether it will be enough loud in your case but I think it will make me satisfied in terms of output volumn.
As I will have band rehearsal in this week end I can share my experience with you.
