Hi, everyone,
I hope you can help me with a question regarding our church's PA connecting into my Traynor YCV80 tube amp.
1=current setup (traditional): electric guitar ->effects pedals board-->YCV80 amp guitar input -->mic in front of amp-->PA-->house speakers (no IEMs used)
With the idea to fully control the volume of my rig and planning to introduce in-ear monitor earphones, this is what was suggested to try next:
2 electric guitar-->effects pedals board--->YCV80 guitar input--> to its XLR lineout-->PA. (IEMs used and fed from PA. Sounded terrible)
This was then tried:
3 guitar-->effects pedals board-->passive DI-->PA. (IEMs used fed by PA. Sounded even worse)
In both number 2 and 3 above, the sound of the guitar through the IEMs were unusable, e.g; harsh but fizzy distortion, dry, and very thin.
This is what's contemplated:
4 electric guitar-->effects pedals board-->passive DI-->PA-->YCV80 amp guitar input. IEMs fed by PA, and at the same time, I can use the amp as another monitor beside me.
I'm not comfortable with the PA feeding the YCV80 a signal from the PA. It seems to defeat the purpose of the IEMs. Also, i'm concerned about damage to my vintage tube amp, never having plugged anything but an electric guitar in it.
I'd like your thoughts on this idea. Thank you in advance for sharing your expertise and experience.
