captainnemo70 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Hi Guys, usually when i work solo with backing tracks i use the XLRs out straight into a mixing desk. in a band im currently playing in im strugglng to hear myself as we have a (almost) dead stage, im looking to also run into a pa amp and a 2x12 cab so that i can monitor myself on stage. is there anything stopping me running both the XLR and 1/4" ouputs at the same time? i have the pod set to studio/direct and realise this will add speaker modelling to the signal going to the PA amp and 2x12, but is that much of a problem, if its too bad, then i could always mic the 2x12 into the stage snake. hope you can help guys im getting really frustrated with not being able to hear myslef, we want a silent stage , but its a bit of a moot point when we have a dbl bass kit and 4k PA bleeding back onto the stage Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewolf48 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Nothing to stop that, but it would be better if you used a PA monitor speaker rather than 2x12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertmcollins3 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 It sounds like you might be using this in a worship setting since you want the silent stage. If not, then it still might apply. If you have extra floor wedges available, then I'd use that as a monitor instead of your cab. Then use the 1/4" out on the POD into a DI box to the PA. This should get you the best sound from the POD without any modeling confusion. Bottom line though is unless they are willing to cage the drummer, a silent stage isn't going to happen.

captainnemo70 Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 not a worship setting, 5 piece band with 2 guitars and keys playing 80's heavy rock.its a big pa., almost 8k and the bleed on stage is loud, even with floor monitors im struggling to hear, i get "more me" through my monitor, but im not feeling it properly , if that makes sense. think ive sourced a 2x12 cab and a small pa amp, ill give that a try. one of the biggest problems is that i program my patches using a full range powered pa cab, but when i plug into the the band pa the patches sound totally different ,obviously due to the voicing of the PA, i dont have time then to program patches properly, so im hoping that by having consistency with my own amp/speaker on stage, that can then get miked up , i dont need it to be overly loud just consistent so that i know what the patches should sound like and then get the FOH to match what i expect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
