This reminds me of the bass player we had that would bring a full Ampeg 
SVT rig to small bars.  He'd have his signal going into a DI box as 
well.  While he wasn't looking I'd turn his rig down to 0, but what was 
coming through the monitors was plenty.  One day I didn't get a chance 
to turn it back up after we were done and he noticed.  He looked at me 
and said, "Well what do you know, I wasn't even coming out of my amps." 
  I laughed and told him what I did every gig.  After that he bought a 
tube preamp and a few small monitors and we never brought the SVT out 
again.
