Hey guys. LOOOOooooooong time L6 pod user here, but mostly limited to headphone practice and recording. Well, I'm thinking of taking my HD500 gigging. I tried it briefly a few years back with my XT Live, but the feel was terrible for anything other than clean tones, and very harsh through the mackie 450 i used back then .
It seems like things are changing with the HD series for live FRFR use, but I wanna hear from guys who are doing it. As a recording engineer, I'm familiar with the "amp through a mic" vs "amp in the room" feel and tonal differences, and much more interested in whether the "feel" holds up when going FRFR. Do you feel a difference when you switch between a deluxe reverb and a plexi or ac30?
Also interested in speaker suggestions. I'm currently looking at either the RCF312 or RCF HD10a. I need it to function as a monitor, but also be able to hold Backline if its a gig with a super small PA.
