==== F1 Setup ====
In this setup I run two F1 Stacks (F1 Model 812 with F1 Subwoofer) for the Front of House system and two {{Compact}}s as monitors at the back of the stage. I've also see people set up the {{Compact}}s at the front of the stage facing back toward the performers, without the extensions.

==== Hollow and Semi-Hollow Body Electrics ====
These guitars can sound terrific
* Through the {{T1}}/{{ToneMatch Mixers}} with Presets bypassed (making this Utility Flat)
* Straight into any {{L1PS}} no ToneMatch® Preset required, but use one if you prefer
* Straight into the {{Compact}} Channel 2 set to Line Level (no ToneMatch® Preset)
* Straight into the {{Model II}} Power Stand analog input (no preset or other processing)
* Straight into the {{S1}} with ToneMatch Switch off (no preset or other processing)
I do this with my other large hollowbody and semi-hollowbody electrics. They all sound great straight in.
And experiment with ToneMatch Presets like:

For four straight ahead channels and all tube sound I sometimes use the Carvin Quad-X Amp. Despite the name, it is a preamp - all tubes. ( 12AX7s) and it came with a gigantic foot switch.

The big appeal for me was the guitar amp emulations, looper, and ''adaptive tone'' features. I haven't used the harmony features. The small form-factor was a big part of the decision to use these.
The big appeal for me was the guitar amp emulations, looper, and ''adaptive tone'' features. I haven't used the harmony features. The small form-factor was a big part of the decision to use these.
Update: I found that I wasn't the vocal features. I got the Kemper Profiling Amp and these were so much better than the TC-Helicon guitar amp emulations, so I stopped using the latter. And finally, I had planned to use the looper as a practice tool, and for capturing song ideas. In the end it was simpler to capture the ideas directly to the computer using the T1® USB interface and some recording software. The VoiceLive&nbsp;3 has left the building.
