Ok, let me rephrase this a little by setting the scene.. I’ve re-read this a few times and I hope it makes sense.. if it doesn’t.. sorry!!! And for the record, there's no right or wrong - this is based on first hand experience..
Curious to hear honest thoughts and feedback from anyone in this situation OR who has been in this situation..
You play in a 5 piece rock band.. there’s 2x guitarists (you, and one other). He is playing a BE100 + matching quad, and you are using your Fractal modeller (Axe FX or AX8 etc). But you are using a PA system (say for example, 2x powered monitors.. like maybe 2x Yamaha DXR10’s or 12’s.. or 2x Mackie HD1221’s or 2x HD1531 etc etc, you get the idea).
Now, whether you are one of the guitarists in this band or whether you are a person in the crowd, other than the fact that you are getting two different sounds coming at you (or you could say there’s 2 different sounds being dispersed towards the crowd), what else would you be hearing and experiencing? (NOTE, the other guitarist isn’t getting mic’d up; it’s just his BE-setup and you with your Fractal + 2x PA speakers.)
Will the crowd get more ‘feel’ and authenticity from the BE100 half stack as opposed to the PA?
Is one clearly more powerful or louder than the other, if so, (sorry for the stupid question), which one is louder, or delivers more sound?
(ideally, they shouldn't be competing with one another, let's assume the overall volume is the same if possible.. otherwise if one is louder than the other, I guess it makes this whole thread pointless?!)
More volume isn’t necessarily better; I’d rather have clarity than volume but I guess that might come at the price of ‘being heard’ maybe?
I’m asking for people’s honest feedback and experience on this, and any pro’s or con’s.
Apologies if this has been asked as many times as ‘which FRFR setup do you use?’.
