Hi all,
I just bought a new Captor 16ohm and using it with a 15W tube amp.
I am generally using this for live situations and not recording as some venues have a ban on backline amplification.
I did a test drive at home through my mix desk and into my floor monitor at a generous volume and it sounded great, with cleans being quite clean, using the inbuilt speaker sim.
Then I used it for the first time at a gig last weekend, and couldn't get a clean signal, it was distorting a bit, and even after I backed off the gain on my amp to about a 2, and master prob about 8, Captor level set to half.
But no matter how I adjusted the levels - I couldn't clean up the signal. There is a sound engineer at the venue who was doing the mixing and unsure if the problem lay with me or possibly him?
At home I can achieve a clean sound, so I don't understand why it was distorting at this venue? Is there something the sound guy may have been doing that I should say something next time?
Thanks
