It changes A LOT!!
Depends of walls material,size of the room etc. Per example if you're gonna play in some large hall with glassy walls, be sure to low down all reverb effects and bass frequencies. If room is smaller and woody,add some bass and highs,reverb up to taste etc.

I can tell you anything specific because I don't know your amp, but in general, in a big place it can depend a lot from a sound rehearsal. Try to concentrate on the sound more on the rehearsal then on your playing. You should set the optimal tone on the amp and that is in general around volume around 6-7, treble 5-6, mids 6-8, bass ~5, and don't overdo it. It will go on the PA anyway. Don't put too much reverb and if you switch on the delay, no big feedback, one or two repeats at most, trebly eq and you should be ok. On your pedals also boost the mids a little. You should be fine.

QUOTE (FretDancer69 @ Feb 7 2008, 03:47 AM)  yes, the above place is where im probably going to play. These are my amp settings by the way: Gain: 9 Treble: 5.5 Mid: 8 Bass:2 For that place I'd recommend a basket ball.  What you should do is to start off with everything set at noon and tweak the sound as you sound check. Bring a really long cord or wireless so you can walk out where the people will be standing, and listen. I personaly like a lot of bass ot get a lot of thump... feels sooooo good  Add enough mids to cut but save a bit for the EQ you stomp when you play solo. If I guess the settings I'd start with (o clock) with my H&K (mind that my EQ works differently per channel and probably different from yours) Bass 1-2 tweak clockwise Mid 12-1 tweak clockwise Tre 11 tweak counter clockwise Presence 12-2 tweak clockwise The EQ for solo I'd put a bit lower bass, more mids and less treble and give it some Db boost. Got to listen and set what's right, can't bring the pedal from your bedroom/rehearsalroom and suspect it to be fit for fight. And finally, most important of all. Do NOT use too much gain, there's no such thing as "you can't get too much gain". Well you can, and the risk is that it will sound like crap, at leats if you're not into music branded "mindless gain". I saw you stated yours as 9 (where 10 is max?), try it at noon and see what it does too your sound when you're playing real loud on stage. And when sound checking, also concider that when there's a lots of people there chatting, screaming and just standing there in front of the speakers they will dampen the sound so rather set it a tad too loud when you sound check or the people in the back row won't enjoy so much. And mind that if you're too close to the ground you have to get all speakers up a bit or it's dampened even more. If you run everything throuhg a PA that's the sound guys problem. ...with all the different hints from different people the question is if you don't get too much different information. Perhaps it's better to just go there, do what you can and learn from all the mistakes.  EDIT: my figures were in regards to the clock, not the actual figures on the knobs This post has been edited by MickeM: Feb 7 2008, 07:14 PM -------------------- My bands homepage
