At a practice session last night for the bitsa band gig in a couple of months time. The venue provides amps for those who want them which I don't like so I bring my own gear. At one point last night I swapped cables with one of the other guitarists. We're both playing Gibson Les Pauls. He plugs into my amp (the Laney VC30 212) and I get the Line 6 he is using. He can't hear himself so he turns the amp up. All I can hear where I am is the Line 6 in between two other guitarist's amp (blackstars). When we swap back for the next number I'm suddenly taking everyone's heads off so have to back the amp back down a couple of notches.
Interesting way to learn that the pickups in my LP appear to have the output of a small nuclear powerstation.
Anyone else been in this situation when using unfamiliar kit?
Old, overweight and badly maintained. Unlike my amps which are just old and overweight.
