[Harp-L] Re: Harp-L Digest, Vol 39, Issue 17

[Michael Easton <diachrome@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

After countless times of trying to hear myself on stage I recently  
started using the same set up as James.
I place the amp on an amp stand in front of me using it like a  
monitor. My current gigging amp is a 15 watter. I added a line out so  
I can plug it into a direct box then into the pa. I use this set up  
for all gig situations whether in a bar or on a large concert stage.   
It may take a few sets to get the level right.  I turn the volume  
loud enough so I can hear myself and let the guy running the board  
set the level for out front.  Have the guy running sound put you in  
the monitor mix if you need more stage volume.
