Mike...my "dry un-unaltered sound"....???

I don't perform outside. (well, outside of park concerts...very occasionally) and even when I do...it's in a band shell.
Why would the acoustic associated with an environment....that we rarely perform in...be relevant? I want to know the
"real sound" I'm getting....in the real environment I most frequently perform. Wouldn't that be the place to figure this
stuff out? ;-)

Just my 2c. If you really want to get an idea of the real sound you are
getting play outside. Every room has a different sound (as do microphones
and amps, etc etc.). Take the horn outside on a day that is 72 degrees and
play. Don't forget too that temperature enters into the equation. Minimize
the variables that effect the tone. Out doors is a pretty good indicator of
your dry un-altered sound
