Vix,

My headset sendout standard "T"-coil signals like you get off the
phone hook that to your equalizer and then the sounds comes out a
lot clearer I also use feel to pick up a lot.  We switched to doing
everything through a P.A. and now they can run everything mixed the
way I want it through a line out I then use a nifty DOD Direct box
that can go both ways and a 30-watt amp right by me with a thin
poece of ply wood.  I can feel the entire range after it goes
through the mixing board.  I'll try ro explain my new set up in
detail.  My Guitar runs through an Osciliscope so I can see what
kind of signal I am running (clean, corussed, distortion etc.) then
runs to the mixing board from there the raw output are run into a
seperate mixer for me with to mixes one for my special monitor with
wood over it (sometimes I abuse it turn it on its back and stand on
the wood) and another for a set of headphones that send out T-coil
signals for my the headset mixer is set as follows:  takes drums
boost all hi frequency as much as possible i.e. snare and symbol,
boost bass enough so that I know its there but not more, boost bass
so I know it there on the bass guitar, leave the keyboard out
because it just sticks in too much noise thats why I keep the bass
to a minimum on the headset, boost my guitar all over so that it
blends with drums.  Next mixer to my monitor:  Heavy bass off the
drums and bass, and heavy boost off they keyboard.  Set a chair or
stand on it.  This will probably take some time getting used to but
since I learned to play guitar by feel never really hearing it this
is how I play.  Got another gig on the 28 and people think it wild
to have a rythm / sometimes lead guitarist the is Deaf.  hope I
could help.

Keepin' the faith too Vixen.

P.S. Hope I made everyting clear, The hadset is just a normal pair except they
throw out "T"-coil compatible signal.
