Electric guitarists used to play and sing through their amps, but this soon stopped when they started to concentrate on the tone of their guitars. Now, few musicians are willing to share their amps, based on the idea that any sound other than that of your instrument will somehow corrupt the tone. This is probably true for guitar amplifiers playing at heavy distortion levels (voice will be heavily modulated due to clipping). But it is not true of an ~~L1™ speaker~~.

Sharing should be restricted to musicians located near each other on stage, for example, two background singers standing shoulder to shoulder, or a horn line.

Several instruments or instruments and voices can be amplified simultaneously with complete independence of tone and no corruption of any kind, other than having everything come from one source. Always try to take advantage of the ~~ToneMatch™~~ preset feature.

* Presets are used to get the best possible sound from your inputs. They are not meant to make something sound like something else (like Guitar processor or instrument patches). Note: The presets for vocal microphones are based on using ''close microphone'' techniques.
