Don’t need to mention the problems of the sound engineer to mix a smooth, fine sound out of a band, when certain units/frequencies on stage are louder than the P.A., especially on smaller gigs. When you’re on stage and you have put your amp against the crowd, people sitting or standing directly in front of your speaker will suffer an unforgettable highs experience that drops out of your amp. They cut through almost everything like a knife cuts through butter. Could it be that you have placed your amp in the wrong spot?Īnother problem with amps (especially with Fender style amps) are certain high frequencies. All you can hear is a wild mess of way too much drum, along whit some misty basslines and your guitar solo disappears into the background of a bad sound mix. You’re not able to control your tone nor the feeling of your notes anymore, playing gets harder and harder and your hands are turning to stone. The speakers of your amp are almost bleeding sweat and tears. The volume knob of your electric guitar is already on 10 and the pedal of your volume pedal is pushed to its maximum already. Probably every guitar player knows the problem, especially on jam sessions or on jobs with non-professional musicians: You are standing on a small stage or in your practicing room, the band plays well and as loud as they can, the mood and the feeling of the song reaches heavenly highs. Hearing yourself clearly makes you play easier and better.
