That's true... It's better!

That's fair enough, I'll say no more about ACG other than Alan's filter preamp and multi-coil pickups were designed based on the WAL setup, and an Über spec ACG would be about half the price of a new WAL with MANY more options available... And a third of the build time (possibly less!)... OK I'll stop now...

Nicked this from that other site... Embassy with ultralites - looks ok to me, but each to his own...

If you're looking a WAL to say you've owned a WAL that's grand, but do yourself a favour and try an ACG as a possible alternative. I've owned a WAL (1983 Custom 4) and have found the 2 custom level ACGs I've owned to be head and shoulders above it in every respect. IMHO, YMMV, etc.

Loved Stuart Zender's playing when I first heard him. Still do!

Djentpre with undistorted bottom end... Wonder where that idea came from... Looks good but I think the HX Stomp is safe here in the meantime.

You should have tried flicking the Lee Sklar patented DFA switch and ask if that was better?

You may find that the size of the pot shafts fairly similar, regardless of the size of the current knobs.

Gee thanks... Now I want that Epiphone... Great pics indeed! I bought me HX Stomp from Peach and they were great to deal with.

If your DI is getting a good signal then you've already ruled out the input jack being the issue. If I recall correctly there is one triode section (each valve has 2 triodes) after the effects loop on the Terror Bass (have the schematics here somewhere). Have you tried playing straight into the effects return and therefore bypassing the preamp? If so, try now swapping the 2 valves just to make sure the post effects loop triode hasn't gone bad. EDIT: Found schematics. Yes, DI and Effects loop are between the 3rd and 4th Triodes in the circuit, as is the volume control (volume is post DI and effects loop). It's still quite possible that this isn't a power amp problem. Try playing straight into the effects return, then swapping the valves around and repeating. EDIT2: Sorry - just noticed you've tried changing valves... Change of it being a valve greatly reduced then. Could still be a component failure somewhere around that 4th triode, but looking increasingly like the power amp. Contact orange. They MAY still have spares for it... Otherwise it's a valve preamp...

Not worth the charge to fix it I would imagine...

No idea, but I don't think the POD GO allows for parallel processing paths. Could be wrong on that one though!

Apparently yes - https://line6.com/support/topic/32475-line-6-hx-effects-possible-to-have-2-independent-instrument-lines/ Never tried it myself, but I think you need to split the input and apply a pan block to each path.

There'd need to be something done about the logo of the 210 facing the other way from the 110s... but I'm sure you spotted that @Merton!

I believe you can use the FX return as a second input on the HX Stomp The input is also stereo so you can process left and right separately if you have appropriate external connectors for your 2 basses to connect to a single stereo jack input

Hubba, hubba! And not a VU in sight!!!

Vintage ultra with fingers for me! As for the DG vs Tech21 argument I've always found the DG pedals to have an upper midrange fizz I couldn't dial out. I've owned the B3K, Vintage, B7K and Vintage Ultra. None of them worked for me. The amp (900v1) was a different story. The tone control in the drive section was a total game changer. However none of them could compete with the Tech21 dUg pedal. It's out of this world. Gone beyond all buying unfortunately. I'd maybe like to try an X7 or X Ultra at some point, but at the minute the HX Stomp is scratching all pedal itches... As an aside, from a quick look at early versions of the DG schematics they owe more than a little to the design of the Tech21 Bass Driver in how they shape their tone...

As soon as they do the x7 I'll buy it. I ain't springing for it a Darkglass prices...

Awesome - thanks @Nicko. I'm at the stage now where I don't even know what I don't know, but even a quick search for Dx7 on youtube brings up useful videos that I could use with your suggested plugin!

Reaper - I know some folks think it a bit Mickey Mouse, but I've had good results so far with it.

Just to throw a couple of TOTALLY unrelated names out - VOLA - Chvrches Not talking about bass synth pedals - I'm specifically looking for DAW plugins for home recording.

I've asked this in the Recording forum but this might be a better place for it... I don't have the first clue about synth sounds but want to introduce more synthy elements in my tunes. I can hear in my head the sound I want, but haven't a clue how to get there. Anyone have any shortcuts? A wonderful online database of searchable songs and plugins one could use to recreate their sounds would be marvelous!

Novice at best... But I have access to my (recently deceased) father's full collection of power tools... including a table saw... What could possibly go wrong!!!
