Yesterday I had a gig with some friends in a little and nice club in the city.
It was a one-day-tribute-band where we play songs from a classic Spanish rock and roll band.
Only two monitor mixes for the whole band. Not the day for IEMs.
I decided to carry my new JBL EON 610, the one I have in the rehearsal room, which is very close to the gig, and left the DXR10 at home.
I just used a Tele and a JTM45 model with two different delays, one drive, and gain attached to a Scene Controller.
Output 1, left side to the JBL, and right side to the PA.
It was a very pleasant experience. I really enjoyed what I was hearing through the JBL. And some good friends told me it really sounded very good and realistic thought the PA.
The pick response was as good a expected so I could go from very clean to full rhythm gain with my right hand.
The only downside: The other guitar player, who defines his roll in the band as the "rhythm guitar player", with his Fender Supersonic 60 combo (l curse the day (once again) I sold it to him). No way to make him turn it down. The man at the desk couldn't do anything.
Some friends told me to play louder, but that wasn't the solution. My stage sound was right, and my PA sound was right.
I'm sure most of you have suffered (or caused, hahaha. Just kidding) a similar kind of disgrace: A little stage with the audience really close to the band, and the rhythm guitar playing louder than the drummer. Way louder. By the way, the drummer is into hard rock. He doesn't know how to play soft.
Well, I can't see a solution. It's always the same with this man: He needs to hear his bassy (generally Bass and Middle on 10, and treble to 0), too distorted and confusing guitar sound which is the same no matter what kind of music he's playing. No; he is not into metal. Rock and roll and pop music is his preference.
So... Very nice. Everybody had a lot of fun. But... It's sick how a single instrument ruins all the gig.
BUT: my AX8 did it very very good and that makes me happy.
Please, excuse me for using the forum as a place to walk my demons.
