My band rehearses using headphones and the rest of the band (not me) uses in-ears for gigs.
How do you guys who use in-ears take the FM curve into consideration? What makes the most sense, IMO, is to make the preset sound good in headphones, since that's the majority case use, and then the soundman can roll of the highs and lows of the guitar signal (and/or boost the mids) post-monitor mix; this way, the band gets the full-range of the signal and the guitar isn't boomy & icepicky to the audience, but also not nasally/overly midrange-heavy to the band, as it would be if I dialed in the guitar tone at "gig volume" (in quotations, since gig volume is also headphone volume, practically speaking).
Am I understanding this correctly? Anyone else figured out a good/better way to do this?
