Nice bass though.

Wouldn't an active crossover do the job that Al needs? Something like https://www.thomann.de/gb/behringer_cx3400_super_x_pro_v2.htm for example, seeing as it's working at line-level not speaker-level voltages.

Won't the increase in cost due to running a kiln be at least partly offset by the reduction in warehousing costs, as it doesn't need to be stored as long to mature?

No. One band is vocals only in the PA, the other is vocals, keys, and percussion (cajon and bongoes). I supply the PA (RCF 732s IIRC) for the first band, which gigs about three times a year, the percussionist supplies it for the other band, which plays in pubs 20+ times a year. There doesn't seem any need for the additional hassle and weight to lug around.

Permanent compressor, chorus, and amp sim. I want to get a decent octave up sorted out which I have on the switch. I did have a second patch set up which was identical but with slow attack set up on the switch.

I've been playing sitting down for 15 years or so, on a Kinsman KGS stool and the Harley Benton clone of it. Better than not playing, and haven't had any comments about it.

I'd be interested in a cover too. Kit arrived a couple of days ago but I'm not sure when I'll get a round tuit - hopefully I can make a start this weekend.

Yes, low B. Sound is very deep and full. I haven"t experimented with types of music yet but I would say folk or jazz or acoustic rock rather than metal.

It powered a Zoom B3n, Ammoon 4-channel mixer (12V), Line 6 G50 wireless, Korg Volca bass synth, and Roland PK5A bass MIDI pedals simultaneously with no issues for several hours.

My lightest bass is my fretless 5-string. Unless you count my 5-string Kala SUB, of course.

A quick test showed the PS1 had insufficient oomph to power a Zoom B3n, so results are inconclusive. It will power a B3, so I'll experiment a bit more later.

Some effects are really fussy about isolated power supplies - I have a Zoom B3n and that doesn't like unisolated supplies at all. I'm going to swap the Vitoos PS1 into that pedalboard at some point in the near future (replacing the Vitoos Iso8 that's in there now) to find out whether it is or isn't properly isolated.

If I'm playing just with backline (95% of the gigs I do), I back the volume off a bit so I've got a little in reserve in case everybody else starts getting louder. Playing with PA, I just put it on 100% and let the soundman sort it out.

Oh, and here's guitarpusher saying exactly what I said: https://www.facebook.com/guitarpusher/posts/its-now-here-vitoos-iso8-isolator-power-supplyp3500why-isolated-psu-to-reduceeli/1432526826862145/

Link doesn't work in Chrome or Firefox. Vitoos Iso8 is fully isolated, but don't believe me if you don't want to. As it's identical to the Harley Benton, it seems quite likely I'm right. Not sure about the PS1, there seems something rather odd about that when I go over the outputs in the same way so I'll reserve judgement on that.

Has anyone mentioned Marillion yet? Steve Rothery is the only remaining original member.

Which one? I checked the Iso8 with a multimeter which is why I say it has genuinely isolated outputs.

Does the Pitchblack still run from the old power supply?

I've got a Vitoos Iso8 and it's great (and genuinely fully isolated). I've bought a Vitoos PS1 off the back of that, which I haven't yet pressed into service. If you have 12V or 18V requirements, both will do those but the Iso8 is more flexible.

I properly switched ten years ago or so, after I'd been playing for 35 years.

I had a 4x10 which blew one speaker without me realising. It was wired as two pairs of parallel speakers in series, and the result was that the single speaker not only got twice as much current going through it as each of the paired speakers, but because the impedance was double that of the parallel pair, had twice the voltage across it too. So it was dissipating four times the power of each of the others, and also blew, which resulted in silence and a rather costly bill which would only have been half as much had I realised.

There's one that nobody checked the lyrics to.
