GUITAR EFFECTS BOARD DESIGN
Guitar effects and PA?
So far my board consists of a behringer “ultra metal” distortion pedal, Digitech “Bad Monkey” tube OD, chorus, MXR eq, and ibanez digital delay, in that order. When I run it through my amp(little 30W roland practice amp) it sounds great. However, when I try to run it through a PA, it just sounds really hollow and weak. The bad monkey od has an amp modeling output designed for going straight to a pa, and when I use that it sounds a little better, but still not great. Is there something I can do to get that amped sound w/out lugging my amp along and micing it or using the line out?
I know I can mic it up, but is there a way to get that same sound out of my board w/out lugging along the amp or using some cheasy digital crap(line 6)
I think your question is how to get the sound you want without having to carry your amp with you. A good PA should be able to reproduce what you are hearing from your amp. I suggest that you use your amp, get a good mic and you should be great! I recommend the Sennheiser e609. Great sounding mic.
Now, if you DON’T want to bring your amp, there are a lot of guitar “modelers” out there such as the Line 6 POD Pro..ect.
