[sdiy] Live Concerts

[Rude 66]

i had a similar experience a few weeks ago. 2 scandinavian stoner bands, one
with all the amps and pedals sounding just fine, the 2nd one sounding just
absolutely terrible. why? when looking on stage, i missed something.. amps
and speakers were all not there. the guitars went straight into these amp
modellers and digital fx, and straight to the desk. the sound was sort of
there, but the power and dynamics were very much missing...
