Hi,
I go to and play a lot of shows in Los Angeles, where the sound is usually poorly done. I can't always tell if it's accidental or on purpose. I see a lot of shows where 1 guitar is overpowering and the other silent in the mix.
what do you do to cope, if anything?
Thanks!

I tell the sound guy to match our volume and we'll handle the boosting for solos and such. The problems we get is when we get on of those soundguys that thinks he knows how we should sound better than we do.
I'm very polite but I let them know that we don't like people fiddling around with volumes mid-song.

Yep. Keep your stage volume high enough where the sound guy just turns you off if it's a smaller club. I usually tell them don't even bother micing me ;D |

definately man. I gotta hijack this thread and also say a huge thanks to speedemon I just got a killer kress 2x12 cab loaded with a big and small block combo. It's a great addition for my 3 pre quick rod and I finally get to bust it out live next weekend. We all have Splawns so theres always more volume available lol

Hi Cecil
I am glad you enjoy it! Yes, more volume. I try not to be the volume pirate, I believe that makes me a popular band member, but I can keep that for the rehearsal...; -)
