This was my first chance to test the iso-box in a live setting and it worked really well. i can have the amp basically at unlimited volume and you can barely hear it when everyone is silent – meaning as soon as the drums and everything get going it is completely invisible unless someone wants it in their monitor. fantastic. and i can crank the amp to whatever volume provides the best tone as well, which was the other goal.
the problem i’m having now is that i still wasn’t liking the tone i was getting. when i’m playing the amp at home and listening to it i feel like it’s not bad; but once it was in the system i wasn’t too happy with it. so i’m doing a lot of experimenting now — rolling off the tone knob on the guitar, cranking bass on the amp, playing with gain and volume levels…i’m going to try switching away from the sm57 as well to see if that helps.
it’s possible all this is fruitless and that the problem lies in my cheap guitar and amp…but that remains to be proved. :)
