This is become an intersting thread. I found with recording, that the
mic simply doesn't pick up as much reverb as is coming out of the
speaker. probably some sort of gate-function of the recording
equipment. Anyway, when recording I set the mixer at 8 or 9, while at
rehearsal I'm in the 6-6-6 group.
We record through a dig 8track (Roland VS880 from the top of my
head?) and a couple of not so good SM58 copies. It might be better
decent mics.
In any case, we haven't gigged with a PA (yet?) but wouldn't the same
thing happen?

PS I keep my tank offstage if at all possible... but then again I
dont kick it, and don't tweak it inbetween songs..
I have a boss OD in my pedal tray that is only there because the
filter-stage of a non true-bypass can drive the long cables needed.
I'm not a tech and I dont know how this works exactly. I just read it
on the net somewhere. Over the years I upgraded (and partly threw
out) my pedals, untill I had only true bypass pedals. I noticed
significant tone loss, with the pedals off. which anoyed me, because
that's exactly why you'd buy true bypass pedals in the first place.
When I read about that filter stage thingy i tried it out, put a boss
back in the chain et voila... tone was back. A friend of mine has a
pedal tray with 9 non true bypass pedals in a row, though, and its a
tone killer, sounds like the tone knob on the guitar is turned down
halfway. Also, I found that on average, boss pedals do a much better
job preserving tone then danelectro pedals. but maybe that's just
me.
