Hi,
the band I'm in played our first gig last night and also, first use of our PA so still getting to grips with the setup, which wasn't all that great last night.
I'm playing mandolin and banjo and the issue I have is that, however much I turn down the treble and midrange, they both still sound too bright and tinny.
The hardware is:
Mandolin : Loar VS700 with Schatten Bridge pickup
Banjo: Vega #2 with Schatten under bridge pickup
Both go into a 4 way mixer (No controls other than volume), so I only have 1 lead into the amp.
Amp: Mackie PPM806
Speakers: Peavey 12" speaker. Can't remember the actual submodel.
I turned the bass right up and treble and midrange down, but both instruments still sound far too bright.
To get to the point, I'm after a cheap solution that will dumb down the tone so that they sound more natural. I could mike up, but that's not a practical option at the moment.
Would a Roland EQ pedal do the trick maybe? Or is there a better (again, cheap) alternative?
Thanks
Frank
