My main concern would be having a good stage volume behind me - a monitor of some sort. I played a gig on bass earlier this year and finally got to use a SansAmp that the sound company provided; the only problem was I could only hear the bass a tiny bit through the mains. It was like playing with my ears plugged.

In an ideal situation with a POD or V-amp, I'd probably go with a small 4-channel powered mixer and a 12" slant monitor (or a regular mixer and a powered monitor) for my own personal sound, and then run a line-out (or two maybe, for stereo) to the PA. That way I'd have control over my own level (for feedback and just having a speaker near me), and the PA guys would have their own feed to fool around with.]]> Live Sound DemoEtc https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/what-type-of-amp-system-behind-a-v-amp/#post-218350 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/what-type-of-amp-system-behind-a-v-amp/#post-218258 Sun, 31 Dec 2006 23:00:23 +0000 Live Sound greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/what-type-of-amp-system-behind-a-v-amp/#post-218258 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/what-type-of-amp-system-behind-a-v-amp/#post-218180 Sun, 31 Dec 2006 18:06:06 +0000 Or is it the Amp/speaker simulation sound or the other effects ?]]> Live Sound Kalle_in_Sweden https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/what-type-of-amp-system-behind-a-v-amp/#post-218180 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/what-type-of-amp-system-behind-a-v-amp/#post-218135 Sun, 31 Dec 2006 16:20:25 +0000 Live Sound greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/what-type-of-amp-system-behind-a-v-amp/#post-218135 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/what-type-of-amp-system-behind-a-v-amp/#post-22939 Sun, 31 Dec 2006 15:12:34 +0000 Connecting it directly to a stereo channel in PA system is an idea I have.
You would then be able to use the stereo effects in the V-Amps FX part and the AMP/Speaker simulation sound would go unchanged out in the "clean" channels of the PA system.
This is maybe heresy for a guitar purist, but if you like the monitor/headphone sound from a V-Amp and want to get it out from the stage, is this a possibility ?]]> Live Sound Kalle_in_Sweden https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/what-type-of-amp-system-behind-a-v-amp/#post-22939
