Considered something like this? The Schroeder cabs offer a solution like this too, but this pic is from some cheap Chinese cab:

Setting the left knob low results in the freq dropping down really faster and lower after it's opened up. Increasing that raises the frequency it hovers around, making it sound less drastic, although you don't really want to go higher than 2 o'clock on that one. Then adjust the right hand knob for the desired sensitivity which will depend on the output of your bass and how bright/subby you want it to sound.

Pedaltrain 2 with a soft case? Also, if you've never actually seen one, the Pedaltrain Jr is bigger than you might think it is from looking at pictures on the web - does me fine and holds my 8 pedals. Dangerboy squeezed 13 onto his, but he crazy.

Go for a Zoom B2.1u. It has loads of effects, and the amp models sound great - I used to use one as a backup for ampless gigs. It's a bit fiddly to tweak for live use, but at home it's ideal. It also acts as a USB recording interface and comes with Cubase recording software.

Me too. I previoiusly has an Ibanez LU-20 which is also excellent for half the price... but I sold it to get the Korg because it looks so darn schexxy!

How about this one mate: [url="http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/mb150s-iii--112/10173"]Gallien Krueger MB150S[/url] Is well over your £200 budget but you might find a second hand one cheap if you're lucky.

But it sounds like you want a nice low gain overdrive, for which I would recommend a DHA VT1, Barber LTD SR, or a Sansamp BDDI or VT Bass.

I would guess you just move the jumper, but if nobody comes back at you with a definitive answer, just phone GK, or you can PM Mr Gallien directly through talkbass! I've been looking a these amps myself - you gonna be using live on Wednesday?

It has two, 600 watt power sections. So you can run each "side" at 4 ohms. (quote from the Genz Benz dude at TB forums). The TBers were saying they wanted parametric mids and switchable tube/FET channels, it looks like they responded.

So do I but I like the idea of really cheap cabs at the moment and I know that 1153 is a good 'un that's really good bang for buck. Check out Alex's cabs at barefacedbass.com. You might be able to get away with replacing both of your cabs with a single 'Big One' (it's not that big).

I thought the 1153 was pretty lightweight for a 15 anyway - I was actually looking out for one to add a bit more bottom to my 10" iAmp 350 combo so let me know if you want to get rid of it!

Can you show us what the frequency reposonse of the Big One is like compared to the Compact?

I made some clips of the VT2; the clips where just one tube is active will sound just like the VT1: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=16907&hl=vt2+review"]VT2 Review[/url] EDIT: mp3space.com seems to have disappeared so my clips are no more!

Digitech can only output a blend of octave down plus your dry signal, while others can solo the octave down, which sounds awesome on the Boss OC-2. EHX Octave Multiplexer apparently sounds very similar to the Boss. The later Boss OC-3 doesn't get as good reviews by the way. The OC-2 sounds like a synth so is great for dance or drum'n'bass. The Micro POG though is more like a pitch shifted version of your bass, tracks better and also has an octave up feature.

Put it in the for sale forum. Stuff seems to be moving very slowly at the moment though due to everybody being skint!

You should first of all try patching them together using the fx loop out of the SWR to the fx loop return of the new amp. This would bypass the tone shaping preamp stage of the 2nd amp meaning and make it just amplify the SWR tone. This might not work though if the SWR FX loop is wired up in series. Another alternative is to take a lead from the tuner out of one amp into the input of the other. What I would do though is get a Boss CEB-3 Bass Chorus pedal, and using a very subtle setting hook each side of the stereo output to a different amp, and put each amp on the opposite side of the stage. It will sound phat!

Filters sound better after fuzz IMHO, although you don't get quite the same precise control over the filter. Chorus works really well after this type of sound as can phasers and flangers. And delay! Might be worth pickng up a a second hand Zoom B2 multi fx or something so you can try out all of these fx and more.
