Im having some "issues" with the rhythm guitarist in my band who is insisting on messing with the volume levels of his amp so he can "hear himself." However this usually ends up with him being the loudest in the room (over everything!) and considerably louder than me (the lead)
Hes a nice guy and I dont for one second think hes doing it out of spite. However we are both new to being in two guitar bands, so I think its inexperience - possibly on both our parts. Anyways we dont have the cash or the PA to go to full in ear monitoring setup so thats out of the question.
Is there any way/any device that I could stick a mic in front of his amp which would feed directly into some basic in ear system for him to use specifically. I know I could potentially use a little mixer and a budget system but thats a lot of messing at gigs and more money.
Is there anything at all out there that can help?

Sorry guys tried this first. Have used amp stands, leaning back against a wall, up on a chair and also brought volume levels right down (ridiculously low!)
Keep chipping in guys but I think this is going the way of just having an extremeley serious chat with said band member. Unfortunately his inexperience is showing
The idea that you throw good money at a budiet amp setup is also a bit odd.
