i bought an amp stand so I could point my guitar cab (1x12 eminence tonkerlite) to my head instead of the back of my legs. I have always liked the sound I get - or so I thought.
The sound was not good, it was scratchy and cheap sounding, the solo sound was also trebly with little warmth. I backed off some top end but though it improved it a little, it then lacked sparkle - I was really shocked. I thought if I take too much top end away to suit me, what would the audience be hearing? Possibly some muffled tone.
We use a vocal PA with just keys and bass drum through the desk along with vocals, so I as a guitarist I rely on my backline to reach the audience...... I did post a forum recently about using FRFR as backline but decided to go with the majority in this situation and stick with a real cab, but now I'm starting to wonder if the FRFR is worth reconsidering.
