Next question. Which haircut?

Should be fine taking the lead from the desk to house DI and plugging it into yours. Not really any point to going bass, your DI, their DI, desk.

So, the cabs ran out of headroom; or the amp ran out of headroom? Either way rehearsal is way louder than needs be.

Probably the Sumo has insufficient HPF, or none at all.

I think if you plugged in a 250W Trace Elliot amp, which is around 160w @8 ohm, it would get very very loud. Try your current amps out before over thinking it.

Another Stagg starter. I kinda wish I had kept it. The purists can say it sounds like a giant fretless all they like. It sounded very DB to me so long as I kept the mwah under control.

Win! I'll take itchy hypersensitive over dead any day. They must have done a spot on job of reattaching it.

Ensure the combo jack follows the tip positive speaker outward motion convention. Aka 9v test.

I bought a clip on tuner. But only because my pedal tuner died. Still in!

Bill will tell you not to build that for bass guitar. It is a home audio enhancement device. Bass cabs may say they go to 35hz but it's almost never 35hz that you can hear.

Forget combos unless it is combo plus extension and trolley.

I did a bit of small venue sound for other bands once upon a time. "Turn up the vocals!!!" Me, pointing to desk of just single fader for vocalist engaged and redlined output. "Feck they are loud aye!" Me, nods.

Yeah. My head exploded before I got to the clarification. How do we know if it is the guitar monitor or the PA doing the feeding back? I like this idea. But instead, how about a remote control on the drummer? Drummer too loud, volume pedal down his IEM. Drummer too quiet, turn up his IEM. Or a chain around his neck going up to a pulley on a heavy stand. Too loud? Stand on the up lever dragging him up off the kit so he can just reach. What a muppet.

It's a conspiracy between the drum player and guitar player.

The cure to feedback is never more volume.

Generally you won't hear HPF in action until things get well loud or you overdo the frequency selection. For whatever volume you are playing at you can raise the HPF until it sounds thin and then back it off. Some rooms are overly lush down in the low end. I can wind up at 80hz with a bass cut.

Not your ears. When you pump up 30hz what you end up hearing from most cabs is distortion coming in at 60hz.

I think the loop is mains to singer's mic, because the stage is cramped, so robbing Patsy to pay Pete is a wash. They want to lower the overall volume so they can turn down the PA and keep the mic gain. The only way that works is with drummer playing ball. Drummer must be either deaf or hasn't got the vocal in his IEM mix. Having him blazing away to his own IEM mix is the beginning of the problems.

I think the Brits would acknowledge Irish lyricism is more acute.

In a pub the mix should be infinitely better with no drum mics and no IEM for the drummer but give him a monitor with the FOH mix and tell him to play to that. Let him work up a sweat pumping his kick and it will sap his enthusiasm for smashing the bejesus out of the rest. He will want the monitor turned up and up. You can probably wind up with the PA off and just thr sub still running. Been there done that. Surprisingly not as rough as guts out front as you would think. Other option. Put him out front so he can play to the PA. Again no IEM no mics. The punters will be all over him to cool his jets.

It has a wonderful post EQ DI by all accounts. You don't get volume control on stage without giving soundman a heads up to ride your fader, so need to get that sorted early.

Those look to either having had a cosmetic refurb or a very sheltered life.

A very simple solution to intrusive fan noise at home is put the amp in a box with the knobs poking through. Peace of mind air gaps so no chance of heat building up inside. Bigger brains than mine convinced me the through panel conduction radiation of a sealed box is enough to keep the inside temperature rise unbelievably small. As you please.
