I play in pretty much just a basement band, maybe play out 1 or twice a year and rehearse usually on a monthly basis. The band uses PA for vocals and a touch of kick drum.
I've taken my Kemper and DXR10 to the last 2 rehearsals and I can't seem to dial it in. To me it sounds boxy, I've fiddled with the switches on the DXR10 and have pretty much left them off for the most part. I've tried to dial the output monitor EQ but just can't seem to find the right settings. I'll say it sounds really good on clean but anything with distortion is sounding boxy. I'm using TopJimi Marshall 69 profiles in one rig and Guidorist Bogner profiles in a second rig.
I've heard mention of this before in other threads but the threads really don't end with anything in particular. I know I'm doing something wrong because there's enough people in this form that use this combination with excellent results although maybe they're using it for a monitor and not a main rig, this could be key.
Would the Pure Cab help here? I've searched DXR10 and Pure Cab and not finding anything specific so I'm thinking people generally don't use it. I tried it at home last night but I can't get the volume up loud enough to determine if it will make a difference, I do hear it but I'm thinking it needs volume to really come alive, of which I can't do at home
Or maybe, just for a point of reference someone might have a similar setup with a profile from rig manager that I could emulate with the same profile and settings and see if it's just me. Although the other bandmates commented on it so I don't think that's the case.
On a previous thread I started on a different subject someone mention GRFR might be the way to go, which I'm not ruling out if no solution is possible here since the speaker weight combined with my age makes for a nice little setup.
Setlist is over 50 songs ranging from heavy to country to surf style.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
