I'll hear it tonight.

I love the tolex. It matches my New Yorker.

That's strange. I agree that midrange is usually the key to cutting in a band mix situation. My Tumnus actually helps with that. He might just need to play with the amp a bit instance since what sounds great at home or without the band raging doesn't always work on stage.It sounded great.
There was something going on with the whole rig though.
I couldn't figure it out.
Right up in front of the rig, it sounded fine.
Back at my table, he seemed lost in the overall sound from the stage.
It was especially noticeable when he kicked on his Tumnus for a solo. It was like the amp moved into another room.
Usually, he fills the whole room with sound...to the point where the challenge is to get the rest of the band to match.
It's not necessarily a volume war thing, but it kind of turns into that and he usually wins.
Last night, he didn't catch up until the last set.
He usually has an all Orange rig.
With this he paired his Vox cab. He's used that cab in the past though and it was fine.
So, I'm a little stumped.
I think the PRS amp sounded great. He just needs to get things dialled in.
I think he needs to turf the Tumnus and put the second Silver Pony back on his board.
Sometimes with a new amp that might be voiced considerably different that what you're used to if there is a lot of cut or presence already going on it's difficult to judge how loud you really are untilI told him that he might have the level too low on the Tumnus and he tweaked it, but I kept having to tell him to give it more.
Level seemed fine without the Tumnus kicked in.
He seemed to finally get there by the third set and he was wondering if he was too loud.
The whole band seemed louder last night though. Which is weird because they've played this place a lot and have things dialled in pretty well.
Even the other guitar player was louder than usual, but that's not so bad because usually he's the one that gets drowned out on some songs.
The bass player spent the first song turning down - without being asked.
Agreed.Sometimes with a new amp that might be voiced considerably different that what you're used to if there is a lot of cut or presence already going on it's difficult to judge how loud you really are until
You get used to playing it in a few different live contexts.
