LINE OUT 5e3 clone help please

[ArcticBreaze]

the main reason the mic dosnt work to well for me is a lack of co-operation from other muso's, ie stick my mic in front of ma wee 5e3, then a guitarist cranks up a hot rod deville right next to it at 3 times my max output and all I'm micking now is a dmn guitar lol. so this way no interferance from other instraments but dont let me rant on i'll try this and let ya know how it works next jam is on the 17th.

You missed the part about using an isolation box. This is a big sound proof box and in side it goes your amp (or speaker cab) and the microphone. The entire assembly can be in some back room, off stage

Some times the box rather then having your entire speaker cab inside has only part of one, the front baffle and the speaker,

Box is typically dual wall plywood with sound absorbing foam or fiberglass batting between the plywood sheets


So it don't matter if some other guy plays loud there is sound proofing between him and your mic.

This will give you the idea

Try London Power's Power Scaling or Dana Hall's VVR. Then just connect from the speaker to your PA/monitor feed via a resistor. The scaled output will give you the full crank sound but you still need to rely on the PA to sound big...

ok guys my verdict is in....the speaker lvl DI is the way to go my amp sounds fantasic thru front of house still got that overdrin valve sound, had to take sum treble outa th pa then it sound just the same as my amp. it ways nothing and sits inside the amp case.so its not just even more gear to lug round. Im sold.
