Re: [Harp-L] Loud amp for loud band



It's easy to say "If your bandmates won't lower the stage volume, I'd quit the band", without hearing the band.

I play in (among others) a very loud band with extremely creative musicians writing unique music I dig. It's not just a matter of "remove harmonica-player unit from music machine A and place in music machine B which features all attributes of machine A except for volume aspect".

Sometimes you accept the negatives of a situation for the positives inherent within it. To say "find a new band" or "I'd quit" is facile. It's glib. Easy to say if you don't know the particulars.

Hendrix played real loud. If he'd asked you in the band, would you have turned him down because it was too loud? Maybe you would.

Earplugs? In-ear monitors?

Life is too much fun to be crippled with hearing loss or tintinitis.

You can still have a high FOH SPL, but you don't have to ruin your own
ears to sound good.
