I played a stage at a local festival over the weekend with a sound man and PA provided by the venue.
There were quite a few occasions where I experienced an off putting echo/reverb/delay coming from the monitors and/or FOH.
This was most noticeable (and annoying) during a few of my solo's - though my rolled back rhythm tones did not suffer with the same problem.
I checked my pedal settings mid solo and the same with my amp (my amp doesn't even have any reverb or fx) and I hadn't switched anything on that I shouldn't have.
My other half out front said is was fairly prominent at times and sounded bloody awful.
What could this have been?

Or the engineer might have added some effects - intentionally thinking he’s helping or by accident routing the wrong channel though the fx.
If it only happened in the louder sections I’d lean towards a mic picking it up - he might have a gate on the mic that wasn’t triggered by the quieter playing.
