RE: feedback WAS Preamp tube substitutions

Richard,

about 90% of the (electric) gigs I have played in past 20 years have been 
mic'ed and through the pa. I have both my amps at the front of the stage, 
on stands that angle the amps at about 45% pointing toward me. This way the 
band and I hear the guitar straight up, the audience gets it through 
the  pa. This way the stage volume is reasonable and the audience 
volume  is whatever they (and the sound man) want it to be.

yours,
maurice
