Wait not in front behind the octave. I mean in front if they were forming a queue but second in the chain. send > octave > bassballs > return.

I've been slightly underwhelmed by this pedal. Then I read up on the tweakable inner controls. So I whipped the bottom off (stop sniggering at the back) had a tweak and yes it is transformed. I've put it in a parallel loop in front of an octave pedal (Valeton oc2 style synthy sound) and it's really nice. Wind it up and it's good enough as the main sound, roll it back and it sits under the clean signal giving a sort of thickening burping underlay.
-
I'm not suffering from any loss of bottom end by the way. But running it in parallel with the clean signal and having a tone control on the tpm is probably helpful with this.

Anyone tilt the top cab in a stack for monitoring purposes? And how?
stewblack replied to DylanB's topic in Amps and Cabs
our pa is vocal only, not designed for bass. In some of the bigger venues it has occured to me to stick my speakers out under the pa stands and use a small combo tilted back for my benefit. -
Not gigged it yet but I have it in its own loop on my tri parallel mixer and running alongside the clean signal it's very nice. Just a little overdriven, it knocks the edges off. A minor financial crisis has forced me to sell a couple of things including a valve distortion pedal. While this isn't as good as the real thing it will certainly do for now.

Trace Elliot AH500X. Two amps in one box. Each has its own volume control. Even has a built in crossover so one amp will output the upper frequencies, the other the low. And a UV light tube too.

Now gone to a good home. Valve pedal. Incredibly flexible way to have a valve preamp. Volume control, gain control, tube gain control and a blend control to mix the clean signal. This thing goes from a little bit of stubble on the chin of your sound to full wild man of the woods beard. Oh and it has high and low pass filters. And a built in compressor. Built like a tank, ready velcro'd, comes with the original power supply. Delivery add a fiver or come get it from me. Bath on Friday, Oxford and Bicester on Saturday if this helps. Don't wait for me to reduce the price I've already knocked money off what I paid for it. -
OK £20 postage UK Mainland. I'm gigging in Bicester on Saturday night so happy to deliver around that area if it helps anyone. -
Blimey. I mean I'm not saying no, but I wouldn't like to guess what that would cost. Where are you?
-
BOTH GONE NOW T̶W̶O̶ ONE Mark Bass NY151 cabs in good condition. £200 each or £225 with Roqsolid covers. Why so cheap? Can't get my car back until I pay the mechanics bill. No car no gig, no gig no money etc etc So break my heart and take these for a silly price Parcelforce UK mainland for £20 but if I'm posting they go in the covers.

Who knew a simple 'like' would stir up such controversy! For the record I picked up my Sweet Baby last night. I am, ironically perhaps, baby sitting my granddaughter at the moment so can't try it out just yet. Will report.

You're an inspiration to me to keep at it, I know I could have another 10 years at least in me if I look after myself

Clutter free set up thanks to the pedal snake I bought from @Stealth It's a Sunday afternoon pub gig in Swindon. Quiet in terms of numbers and a subdued audience obviously nursing hangovers, but we're winning them over. Football season is back so TVs on throughout which is a modern phenomenon to which I am slowly becoming used.

Formed a band from the ashes of a previous project and did our first gig last night. A wedding in deepest darkest Zummerzet. Lovely room, good natural acoustic, decent stage, I got to sort the pa for a full band kit, bvs, keys guitar the lot, which was a first for me. Sound was great B&G were lovely people dancing from the off. A great debut.
-
If it was possible or would serve any purpose to keep all the amps I've had and subsequently sold, I would have my Orange Terror back in a heartbeat.
-
I left my ABM on an angle in the back of the car once. Took a whole day to clean up the heft that had leaked out through the effects send, you can still see the stain and when it's warm the fillings in my back teeth hurt. Mythical? Hardly.
-
I think is all on the money.
-
It is almost unbeatable for the money. Mine is in a loop with the Ricochet which I'm using as an octave up. It dirties up the higher sound nicely. I have even used it as a preamp for my bass at a gig and it was great.

Anyone using the new TC Electronic BC208 2x8 cabs?
stewblack replied to Tradfusion's topic in Amps and Cabs
Not tried the stand alone 208 but I do use a BG250 loaded with two 8s and I really like it. I remember turning up at a tiny pub gig with difficult parking only to find that while the playing area was indeed small the pub itself was far from tiny. Believing what I'd been told I had only brought the BG250 and so I had to go with it Despite pushing it pretty hard I was pleased with the result. Another 208 with it would be a great little rig. -
Yep ☝️ I used an Orange Terror through a couple of Markbass 1X15 cabs for this sound. Punch, heft, loudness, grind, volume, definition, thump and all the other words. I now use Ashdown CTM 100 through Barefaced Compacts, but (and I know this is a horribly controversial opinion around here) for 70s rock I absolutely preferred the Markbass cabs.

Wonderful! Is it heavy? How long did it take you to make? -
Done
-
What's wrong with me? I had thus sorted after a week of work now I'm back at it I think I'm addicted

Just completed an entirely painless transaction with Mart. Absolutely no problems at all.

@Kiwi I'd love to hear some sound clips
