In episode 18 of Anatomy of Tone, I will discuss using the Strymon Iridium amp, cab modeler, and in-ear monitoring (IEM) for gigs and rehearsals.  There are several reasons why players may not be able to use an amp on gigs in today's performance and studio world. There are also times when we need to hear ourselves more. But, with no monitors, this can be an issue when our volume is already loud for the room we’re playing.  I provide some tips for these situations and look at where live sound is going.    Gear discussed or used in this podcast: Strymon Iridium Rolls PM55P Personal Monitor Seeker Electric Effects MKI Analog Man CompRossor Ampete 88S Amp Switcher Headstrong Lil King Victoria 518
