Bad form to post same post to multi threads I know (see others...) but:

I have the Blackstar Fly3 with extension. I was a bit down on it at first but, now raising my score to 8.5/10 thanks to compressor and EQ.


First, I figured out the value of the compressor on this baby. I never normally use any compression so I had it dialed right down. Then I read somewhere in a review about this amp (was it here?) [i]"... compressor ... almost essential on an amp of this size..." [/i]so i dialled it in. Wowser, what a difference. Suddenly got a heap more output and presence without distortion.

Then I thought I should beef up the EQ a bit, lose that nasal honk. Running the bass through a boss EQ7 was all it needed. A big fat scoop, boost hi and low, cut low mid, boost output a bit - bingo.

Its a shame to add another piece of kit to something that's all about portability, but as it basically sits under the sideboard in my kitchen, I can leave the EQ pedal plugged in.

Now I can hear my bass tone!
Pretty bloody good actually, a pleasure to play, rather than just a compromise solution. happy days.

Running amp at 40-50% gain, EQ fully clockwise (scoop), compressor 30-40%, volume 75-100%. Cracking tone, plenty loud enough for home playing/jamming.
