I know this subject has been brought up here before but there were too many posts for me to skim through...
My last gig I experienced some weird power issues. The venue was old and I'm pretty certain that it was wreaking havoc on my kemper. I've never had to run anything else before but now I'm thinking that maybe I should at least take a look into it.
Here's what was happening and after testing my kemper back at home and a couple other places, I'm confident that it was the building's power that was doing this...
My clean rigs were fine and sounded as they should. However, my high gain rigs changed. By changed I mean, they started to become clean and lost the dirt/distortion/gain. My heavy gain rhythm rigs were more like a blues type gain. My really high gain lead rigs went down to where it was hard to produce pinch harmonics.
Do any of you guys use a line conditioner when playing live? If so, what do you use to keep a constant power source going. I have protection here at home but I'm mainly interested in road stories/suggestions.
Thanks!
