So I've never really had any issues with dialing in good tones on my axe ii and Rcf monitor. It's always sounds great to me.
My main amp tends to be either a Jcm 800 or Friedman model. But yesterday we play a private outdoor gig and I hired a sound company for the gig. They had two large yamaha mains 2x15's and a horns and 2 sub cabs with rcf subs. They also ran a yamaha digital board. Not a bad setup for what we needed.
But for the first time I really had some time to test out my rig on a PA and I was shocked as to what the presets sounded like with the boards EQ set to flat. It was so dark and muddy and just weak overall. Like it lost most of its gain. I play through a LP lifeson model. When I dial in presets they definitely dont sound that dark. I usually put the mids around 5-6. The sound guy had to give me a huge mid range boost on the board to get my tone to match what was coming out of my rcf.
I walked over to the rcf and played for him and said, "this is how I wanted it to sound. Why does the pa sound so weak". He boosted the mids and said "does that sound more like what you want?" And it totally was.
My question is, how high do you usually run the mids on your presets? I can't believe the PA would sound so drastically different than my rcf. It's making me rethink all my tones now.
