    Cool or ugly?

    If you play it like a bad ass wild man then it looks cool. I think you can pull it off

    Amp on stand?

    I wouldn't think a 2x12 would absolutely need a stand but it wouldn't hurt to try one, You may hear yourself better and like it. IMO if doesn't affect your vibe, lower stage volume is better for everyone

    Amp on stand?

    I can guarantee you are too loud, all of you! :-) FOH sound mixer talking here. But yes, amp stands can help. What kind of rig are you playing thru, and how good are the ears on the back of you knees?

    whole band going DI - tips?

    Worth a shot, I've mixed for bands that fly this way, it can work, if it doesn't kill your vibe. Rehearse A LOT because it will feel really weird for a while. If you're doing to try this try to get IEM receivers that can be configured with a "more me" feature - ambient input

    Questions about live DI?

    The best way to get CLEAN LF into the house is via DI. it's the nature if the beast. With a typical 4 piece rock band I high-pass everything except Kick and maybe Bass. This really cleans up the mud, cuts down on mics picking up other LF stage sounds and helps eliminate dreaded stage rumble...

    Questions about live DI?

    Agree with bongo and Tek also, I'M a Goofy Sound Man and I take both amp DI out (post eq) and in-line guitar if possible. Gives more options and the ability to solve more potential tone conflicts or room mode issues out front. A good FOH guy my need to deviate from your stage tone to help the...
