My tone through just my cab is warm, lush, just silk and honey (I always have cab "off" and use a Shure wireless system). This has not changed in years. I walked out into the audience the other night and the sound through the FOH mains was shrill, brittle, unrecognizable from my stage sound. I use Monitor Out to FOH if that matters, the Main Out is no different sonically. Adjusting the treble to zero and boosting the bass helped a tiny bit, but only that...
Does anyone have ideas on why there is such a drastic difference in my sound from stage to FOH? Our mains are Allen & Heath btw, as are our stage monitors, which give the same warm, rich tones of my offline cabs. (I appreciate your feedback, though can create my own LOL.)
