Ok, for all you knowledgable guitar enthusiasts out there that are looking for some neophyte to preach all your know-how to, here's the perfect opportunity.
I'm a hack guitarist, been playing for years, but never in a band until recently. I play both accoustic and electric guitars in the band, but the accoustic I run directly into our 8 channel system, and that isn't an issue for me. Its my electric that I need to learn how to handle. I've got a fender strat deluxe and a small peavey 15 watt amp. For the few gigs we've had so far, I've been plugging into that amp, because I have control over the sound (2 channels, one with pre and post gain for distortion). The problem is it isn't integrated with the rest of our sound system, and also for gigs I don't get the benefit of the monitors. I need to learn how to set up so that I can play through our system and not lose the control or other benefits of playing with my amp. The amp has no output, unfortunately. I use a wah peddle for a couple of tunes, but ideally would like to bypass it when I can. I do have a distortion peddle that I could potentially use instead of my amp, which would give me control over the sound. But then I'm not sure how to link the distortion peddle and the wah and the system. As I said, I'm a neophyte . . .any suggestions for the best way to set up would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Help with some basic set up info!
