How to hear myself better

[4Mal]

Amp stand and get away from the amp...

this very guitar-centric jam,

Well, I can spot the problem right there. You are in some bad company and you really should try to get out of there. Or very politely ask all the guitarists to shut the f*ck up. And then get out of there.

There are a bunch of very good suggestions here already but Im going to add one more>>> The Mid settings on the amp(s) you were trying to bump may not be the right frequency ranges: If your bass is active, try some EQ shaping off the bass to at least "cut" through the mix to hear yourself...If your bass is passive or the set frequencies on the active bass isnt doing the job, bring along an EQ pedal (even a simple Parametric EQ pedal and Ive seen those on eBay made from your part of the world for $25 or so)....

If this doesnt work, then there just isnt enough wattage in the host amplifiers to keep up with some very loud jammers

walk a little further from the cabinet, you will be surprised how much difference it does.

Whatever you do, don't use only one IEM. It causes you to crank it far louder than it appears to sound in order to get a balance with the other ear when summed in your brain. In other words your brain doesn't hear correctly, it wants two ears worth into the one ear to sound right.
