Hi all
I've got my first gig in about 15 yrs coming up in a couple of weeks, which has reminded me of one of the issues I hated when gigging before, that of not being able to hear yourself above drums, guitar amps & the audience screaming how sexy the sax player is.
Alright... the last bit was just in my head.
So instead of just hoping for decent foldback, I'm thinking of the 'if you can't beat them, join them' approach
.
I've got a Roland JC 40 which is a fairly clean sounding amp, & I'm thinking of using it as an on stage monitor. It's a smallish outside gig, so I may not need to go through the PA but there's an output which could go to the desk if ness. I'll be using a clip on mic & my reverb unit (of course)
Has anyone tried it & was feedback an issue?
Other than that, I have a sax reflector thingy which I haven't tried with a band, though it sounds great in a fully laden wardrobe.
Cheers & happy Tuesday.
