| Yep... When you use effects in a live situation, you need to remember
that the rest of the band is there - they'll stomp all over your
hard work (in getting your presets ready). You can still be subtle,
but subtle with the rest of the band may seem a little obnoxious at
home.
I don't know about on the ME6, but I have a master effects level on
my QV. I get the sound I want, and just tweek the level when I'm with
the rest of the kids. Parhaps that'd work for you??

| 2813.2 | chorus only? | NAVY5::SDANDREA | IfoughtTheLawn&TheLawnWon | Mon Sep 27 1993 12:05 | 10 |
| I have found this to be true as well, but to different levels depending
on the effect being used. I find that real sweet chorus-ing seems to
get swallowed up by the band, but distortion and delay don't. Even when
I use a phase shifter, I can hear it on recordings, loud and clear. I
can remember playing with too loud of a stage volume and I couldn't
eveb tell if my chorus was on without looking at the LED.
Is it a "chorus only" problem?

| I find that I tend to mix the effects too heavy at home (love them
verbs) and have to bring them down with the band so I'm not lost in the
mush of multi-effects
your milage may vary

| Like dbii, I used to have problems with getting lost 'cause I had too
much effects on. Now I'm using very little and it's fine.
However, I've been noticing something similar with the new band I've
been playing with... I've played either with just a drummer or a
3-piece (guitar, bass, drums) for about 3 years now, no full bands, and
developed sounds that I liked that used a bunch of subtly different
levels of distortion/overdrive. One of the first things I noticed when
I started rehearsing with the bigger band is that most of that stuff's
just lost. Two or three degrees of overdrive are fine 'cause you
really can't hear much difference. Clean, crunch, and quite a bit of
gain. Kinda bummed me 'cause I liked the sort of stuff I was doing
before, but I guess it doesn't matter for the material we're doing
(crusty old "classic rock" stuff).
I've found the "lost effect" syndrome when recording as well. My
friend and I recorded a song on my old 4-track that depended heavily on
a delay for the rhythm guitar part. I recorded it with the effect
where I thought it should be and the track sounded fine by itself, but
when I added the other instruments/vocals, the delay just simply
disappeared. I was bummed 'cause there was no way to fix it (it'd
already gotten bounced in with other stuff).

| re instant guitarist = add distortion.
That is true. On friday night I was in the middle of "Walking by
Myself" (Garry Moore) doing the guitar solo, some drunk decides he'll
come up on stage and be part of the band, lept in the air, toe catches
the top of the foldback wedge, arms flail wildly, steps on my foot
pedals and deselcts distorion and gives me a wimpy clean sound, then
just to make sure I can't do anything about it he collapse at my feet
and lays non compus mentus on my foot controller, I realised how much
I rely on distorion to get me thru that solo. 8^).
P.K.
