OK i'll try and find a way to use an active one. Speaker emulation would mean you don't have to rely on the soundman having good mics and good technique, that was where the idea came from. EDIT: Thanks for the info!

We'd all have a different holy trinity though. Mine would be dirt, compression, dirt!

Suggestion first - I was thinking last night about how you have all of this modelling software etc so you probably know the exact frequency response of your cabs at the optimum listening point. You could use that data to create a speaker emulator. A Barefaced cab with one of those new little poweramps and a DI with 100% accurrate speaker emulation on would be perfect for loads of people! Question - I'm lacking low end in a big way on my mixing rig. I have a pair of studio spares NS10s and they are OK but the low end is almost entirely missing. I have no master EQ, and I think that might be a bad idea? So i'm wondering if it would be easy enough to add a passive sub to my system? If so can you recommend one? Can I plug it into both speaker outputs on my amp?

Your readership are reading your post as a representation of BGM, and you're trying to pursuade them that they're wrong! The customer is ALWAYS right, even when they're wrong.

I just had a look as this is something i'd like. I found your posts on a couple of forums!! I also found [url="http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/vinyl/"]this[/url].

I don't know the answers to your questions sorry but.. Have you tried overdriving it by boosting the input, with an EQ pedal or a boost pedal? Would putting a higher gain input valve in risk overdriving the poweramp?

I used to keep pedals loose on top for storage, but still wired up. Then when I got to a stage, I would just put the board down, and put the resting pedal onto the floor. Can people please remember the lights off LEDs on shots!

If you want feedback... I looked at the site, and it looks great, as does the gear. However, I have no idea what the m:system is. Is this me being stupid? I've read about the features of the m:system, but have no idea what it is or what it does!

[quote name='mildmanofrock' post='520291' date='Jun 21 2009, 09:37 PM']Hi folks - as a bit of a tech numpty, is there any chance someone could recommend a good signal chain for these pedals? Much appreciated!

I was in a 3 peice originals, and I understand your point, but I maintain, I would be bored gigging without at least 5 pedals. I would have no problem using them tastefully and to great effect. The audience wouldn't necessarily notice, but that's not the point, the point is to enjoy the gig, surely?

I would get bored gigging without effects. I need to be able to boost the bottom to make choruses massive, and add dirt for riffs etc. I suppose that's about all i'd use on a covers gig (never done one). Lots of people use multi-fx setups live and they are fine. The problem is you want to be able to "set and forget" about all your patches, but you do have to change them occasionally depending on the gig, which is annoying. Then again, it's a lot easier to carry and set up than a big pedal board. Both line 6 and boss do a multi-distortion box, so you can switch between different stored distortion patches. It might be worth trying one of these as they're only the size of 2 singles and obviously simpler to use than a big multi.

I can't find the exact spec but I thought it had a good 3-4 amps which is more than enough.

Will that blend A+B as well as switch between?

LS-2 Do you need it to have EQ on aswell or something?
