Question for Richard Hunter and all who play amped harp with a line out to
the PA -
As I sound-checked at a jam recently, someone in the small audience called
out "More bass!"
The host-band's PA was adequate, but had very small speakers up on stands.
Compared to the harp players with an amp on stage that night, maybe my tone
wasn't full and complete. In situations like this, I thought about using my
50 watt monitor wedge as an amp on stage, facing the audience. Its 10"
speaker can deliver a little more bass than the 6 or 8" found in the PA
speakers. More bass EQ from the board didn't help much.
Comments, please?
