    Anybody use a decibel detector?

    You could certainly try. The one issue (other than those stated above) is that the loudness is subjective. A lead guitarist's typical range cuts through the mix better, requiring less actual volume to meet the desired perceived volume. So what you could do is measure them both while they're...
