SoloAmp question

[jdl]

So, I'm playing at an outdoor service tomorrow. I'm bringing my SA220 to use as guitar monitor, sending it to the main board. The problem is, we don't have monitors, so vocalists can't hear themselves. I tried sending a return signal to the SA, but the guitar ended up being much too loud. I'm wondering what I can do to have a good guitar signal through the main board and not be overwhelmed with it on the SA.

Any suggestions would be welcome. thanks.

Wait, it just occurred to me: turn down the guitar in the monitor. People do that all the time, don't they? The main board (with no sound guy, I need to add) has monitor volume controls.

Sorry, kids, don't know why that didn't occur to me until now.

I'll try, but not sure If it's right.

If I understand, you are also sending vocals to the SA220?

Send all signals straight to the board; guitar and vocals. From the board- send separate signals for the vocals and guitar to the SA220 ch1 and ch2. Vocals and guitar will have its own channel on the SA220 for either you or the board to level adjust.

or

You can connect guitar straight to the SA220 (ch1) then send an output to the board. The board can send a vocal signal to the SA220 ch2. In this setup the guitar signal should not be sent from the board back to the SA220. The board will not have any control over guitar monitor signal in this setup.

Or yes, you could do that

Thanks, Turp. Turning the guitar down in the monitor did the trick.
