I’ve used the FM3 for years now and love it. One thing that has always bothered me however, was what I perceived as excessive brightness through my monitor on stage. And I’ve watched a ton of great videos from Leon, Cooper Carter, etc for live sound tips. I’m the lead singer and only guitarist in a cover band playing the usual - bars, clubs, outdoor festivals, etc. I also run the sound from stage through our QSC PA. I’ve dialed in pretty good tones to my ears out of the FM3 and know that the brightness cuts through nicely in the mix. In addition, I’m a tele guy, so I know how bright the guitar is as well.
Was messing around with the Dyna cabs, which I now love and then a thought popped into my head - to simply use the Output 2 Global EQ band to send a second signal to the board to feed into my QSC K10 monitor, which I use for my guitar and vocals. So Output 1 goes to FOH with no Global EQ tweak. On Output 2 I cut the lows below about 100 Hz, the highs from 8k and up, and also reduce 2K and 4K about 2-3 dbs.
And voila, FOH gets signal it needs and now my monitor feed is like an amp in the room, without touching my FOH tone. Was considering getting a different FRFR for the stage but this seems like a great alternative and less gear to carry.
Don’t know if anyone posted anything like this so just wanted to share.
