Hi guys,
Since joining a new church, I am now playing guitar in the praise band. I use my Line 6 Flextone III direct to the house. It has stereo XLR outs and I use only one. The problem is that, at home, my amp sounds great. At church, my sound is horrid. The cleans are a bit distorted. I am toooo bright, and the distortion is buzzy. Also, when I step on the volume pedal, I get that annoying feedback that is the high squealy kind. My guitar is a Fender Telecaster with Tex-Mex pickups. Normally, everything sounds great. We do run a fairly hot mix on stage.
Personally, I think the sound man has my trim adjusted toooo hot. I think he needs to bring down my highs and give me more low and high mids. I like going direct. It makes for a quieter stage because I can turn my amp all the way down and it doesn't effect the house because I have my own trim control on the back of my amp that controls the amount of signal I send to the house.
What do you guys think? I've never experienced this before. In my last church, I sounded fine. No eq or feedback issues at all. I have almost given up and asked to just mic the amp...
