I use a mustang 2 as a monitor on the platform.

I go out of the the XLR's to the main house sound and use the 1/4" outs to the mp3 IN on top of the mustang.

Have the amp blowing right up at my head. works like a charm.

i usually keep it low volume just to add some low end so I can still hear when the orchestra gets loud.

too much volume and it fools me into thinking i am louder out front; so i tend to lay back and now play as boldly as i should.

So after a few years trying the X3L with a tube amp at church I've decided to join the rest of the world & use a non-tube amp. I just can't get it to sound right. It doesn't matter where I put the controls on the amp, it just sounds bad to my ears. Narrowed it down to 3:

Fender Mustang

Spyder

Vox Pathfinder

We're only talking about a stage monitor amp; the direct outs to the board are fine. X3L out to the amp is Live (combo front) mode, factory preset focus/high/low.

Any suggestions much appreciated, thanks.
