When did the guitar became a pariah instrument?

Honest question: How do you deal with the inevitable hot spots where the guitar cabs are pointed? Every band I've ever seen that had a loud stage volume also had guitar "Death Zone" areas where the directional nature of the guitar cabs overpowered the other instruments on stage. It may sound great on stage, and some areas in the room may have a great mix, but in other areas of the room the guitar was too loud in comparison. (Bass isn't as bad since the lower frequencies are more omnidirectional.)

Given I'm on stage, I'm not sure where our "death zone" is. I don't doubt it exists, and I'm surprised no one in the band we toured with last pointed one out haha.

I'll definitely ask at our next show.

It’s all about balance, Grasshopper(s). Loud rock music isn’t dead, nor is loud music of any other kind.

You just have to understand that 10 gallons of water doesn’t fit in a 1 gallon container just as 10 gallons of water won’t fill a lake. We all have to fit the space.
