I'm not always sure it's a good idea to play something from the evening's set list during sound check. Sure, there are clear advantages (you do the sound check with the material you'll be playing during the evening), but I frequently find myself in situations where there is already a fair bit of an audience during sound check... and I like to keep them guessing as to what material we'll play.
Any thoughts?
I like the sound check to include (in a short sequence) both extremes of what I'll be using throughout the evening: a bit from my softest preset, and a bit from my loudest lead tone. But I'm considering playing riffs (using these presets) that have nothing to do with the evening's set list. Not sure what, though.
Re-reading my text, above, it seems more like "thinking out loud" and less like a question... but any input would be great (as long as it excludes any references to Rick Astley)
