I play mainly small clubs where both physical space and musical space is limited. My current lineup is a HX Stomp running into a SD-170 with a Friedman Dirty Shirley 1X12 open back Cabinet loaded with a Celestion cream back . The SD-170 is plugged into the Send which is placed (in parallel) before the cab module but after the other fx blocks in the signal chain. The balanced output (L/MONO) is then fed directly to the house mixing board with cab emulation. This allows me to control my stage volume and tone independently from the house mix. So far its been working out great.
