I have had real trouble with a TC Mic Mechanic alongside a Zoom B2 Four, On the same power lines there is a high pitched wine (Chateau Neuf Du Pape?). I had the same problem with the B1 Four and the Mic Mechanic. I must get the 'scope out and see whether the Mic Mechanic puts noise the powerline.

Do you have any problems with noise? I often find that using a digital pedal on that same supply as analogue pedals can induce noise on the power lines.

A lesson I learnt many years ago.

Fundamentslly, I agree with @neepheid, however I will add some context. I have played 5 string bass and lined the ability to go low onto the N string, rarely if ever venturing below the D on the 3rd fret. However I am happier on a 4. I once watched a YouTube video on the art of Rhythm Guitar. It was, as usual, 20 minutes to explain a simple idea but the gist of the matter is that Rhythm Guitarist should avoid the E and even A strings (assuming standard EADGBE tuning) when playing chords, so as to leave that sonic area for the bassists. All makes sense if you have played with a rhythm guitarist that insists on strumming all 6 strings. On that basis it makes sense to keep away from the guitarists spectrum, so the C string is well into Guitard’s area. Or this way be madness..,.

I think those are called guitars.

Guess what came in the post today?

The sound is great, how did you mic up the drums? That singer is also great, bass sounded OK (great really).

Guitarist!

As far as I know? Ashdown use Sica drivers, sometimes rebadged as Ashdown. Sometimes left with the Sica branding.

Slight update. The addition parts and wires have now been secured using a cool glue gun.

Looking at the current board it suits the Zoom B1 Four pus other pedals in a line. It will take the B2 Four but only if one of the other pedals is sideways. Looks like I will be making another one, taking account of all the lessons* of this one. It may be longer or add another cross beam, I will leave that until this one is finished. I have a gig on Saturday so I need to get a move on. Some of you will have seen that I am making an onboard Power Supply for this pedal board. That is progressing well. Of course there have been issues* but the latest iteration dies not semi to add any noise to the pedals I have. The material used for the top panel is strong enough but is really hard to work. Back to good old aluminium for the next one.

Me too but from: Basses 1. Fender (Japan) Aerodyne AJB65. 2. Sire Marcus Miller M2 3. G4M P Bass with Upgrades. Amps 1. Bugera Veyron (the mosfet one) 2. Ashdown Retriglide 800 3. Some Homebrew amp. Others 1. LFSys Monza 10” cab 2. Home brew 8” cab 3. Zoom B2 Four multi effects. 4. Homebrew pedalboard with integral PSU. For Sale Various Cables

Call Ashdown and ask for Dave Green. He will tell you whether it would work.

Just started a Harmonica for Lung Health course. Lesson 3 on Thursday.

Weird, I imported mine from Japan. It was still in tune when I got it.

Yhey are made by D'Addario so avoid those as well.

AD200 is the only valve amp I would consider...if I had a roadie...

I agree but add Di Marzio's to the list. Great pickups and fully adjustable pole pieces.

Save the Tort!

I have an earlier Black one but always lusted after a Dolphin Grey one. Enjoy!

The Rebbels are on a run of gigs now throughout the Summer, next on Saturday is The Oakdale Club in Poole. It is about 1.5 miles from home😄

It must be possible to make an ABM I. A smaller form factor. 300mm wide would suit me.

If you look at ICEPower range, the difference between the the A 125ASX2 and the 1200AS1 in volume is about $100. In bridge mode the 125ASX2 will do 500 watts into 4ohms and is used in a number of “500 watt” amplifiers. The 1200AS1 will need more thermal management than the 125ASX2, more than outweighing the cost implications of the bridging circuits required by the 125ASX2. Thr ASX and AS1 range of modules are used in many bass amplifiers. The 1200 watt unit will dive a loudspeaker harder than a 500 watt but will undoubtedly increase power compression in the loudspeaker, limiting the acoustic output by 1-2 dB, hence you could argue that the 1200 watt unit is the one that is the oddity in the range. Looking at the TE1200, the cost is £1000, way more expensive than the 500-700 watt models from Ashdown, Aguilar and even Harley Benton, all of which use ICEPower modules . I have been told, by people I trust, that the TE1200 is a superb amp so why not an amp filling the gap between 200 and 1200 watts? Clearly the TE branded Peavey ams, Elf and TE1200 have fairy dust inside so why not sprinkle some on a 500-700 watt amp? Although a qualified electronics engineer. I also spent a decade or more in a Marketing role. We had a single model in one category and the Factory developed three models to replace it to suit three different market segments. The Sakes Manager was convinced our sales would remain static. In the end our sales went up 250%. The reason? People could choose from within our range without having to search other manufacturers. So it makes sense for TE/Peavey. So whether a 500 watt TE500(Orca) is needed by bassists is in some way irrelevant, the truth is that there is a market segment for a TE amp in the 500-700 area at about £700-800.

I must admit that going a range one 200 watt amp and one 1200 watt amp suggest a hole in the range at 500–600 watts.
