We had 2 shows this past weekend (meaning I couldn't go to the PRS Experience!) and it was the "best of times, and the worst of times."
The Friday night show, my amps were loud-ish; you could definitely hear they were the main source of the guitar sound. I had a GREAT time! I played without thinking, wandered into some really cool territory in my solos, and really could listen to what the keyboard player was doing during his solos (and mine, which was cool)! I even posted a picture of my PRS during the gig on the '2016 PRS Experience' thread because I felt left out....
The show on Saturday was completely different. We reset our mixer before the show, and the guys all wanted to keep the stage volume lower, and concentrate our own instruments in our monitors to reduce sonic clutter. I had to really crank down on my amps, and use the mic'd signal in the mains. It sounded flat/2 dimensional/irritating/lifeless/etc...
Does anyone get decent results with low stage volume? Like I-can-hear-my-pick-hit-the-strings low.
