Had a play this afternoon. It seems to drive the board every bit as well as the TC, and after a good 30mins of playing the fan hasn’t kicked in either and it’s not even warm. Good so far. Switch on the front is immensely satisfying after years of reaching under a monitor and invariably scraping ones hand or knocking said monitor off balance. Happy days

Thanks for that it definitely would have been a better idea! The MB200 just arrived. It’s about the size of a paperback! I’ll give it a whirl over the weekend and see if it can come up with the muscle to shake my chair as much as the TC does.

Glad you like it. I used to have an LMB-3 for years but now I use the simulation of it in my Roland VB99 which is the same but with more settings. In general I much prefer limiting to compression, it allows your dynamics to breathe but gives you that nice clear bottom line which helps your sound sit in a mix like it was lowered in by a funky chinook

I don't see that at all if I'm honest. Every day there are threads full of helpful advice. It's perfectly natural once the question has been answered that users start to wander and go off topic, but that doesn't stop the next person jumping in and asking something else - or if it does then people apparently feel quite happy to start a new topic and get a lot of advice and help very quickly. I think we're much better at that than Talkbass. Typically it can be hard for long term users to see this as they become so familiar with the members and ways of the site that to them it looks like nothing is new and that things should be in a WIKI or some such (a typical response on TB is 'use the search function') but a revolving door or Q+A is the lifeblood of a forum and I'm very pleased with how welcoming and friendly people are here. Mods don't need to step in because there's nothing to do, the place moderates itself (sometimes even in OT!)

Sorted - next time it'll be quicker to PM a mod and they'll do it right away. Cheers!

Thanks, those ads are hosted by an external partner. They shouldn't be using odd sized formats though so I'll check again. Thanks

IME there's no way to limit what happens naturally on the forum - a new poster would be just as well to join in and ask for info or start a new thread.

Darkglass products in general make me feel old

I did wonder about that but then I saw something shiny I could waste money on instead - of course your suggestion would have been far more sensible. Do you have an example of such a cable for reference?

Thanks - actually the fan noise doesn't bother me that much as when playing I have my headphones on but I do sometimes listen to music and pump the bass through the board as it sits under my office chair and feels amazing. So it could be annoying in that way. I have bought the GK 200 thing and will see if it has enough power to drive the board at the levels I tend to use (fairly low)

Yes all I need are your bank details, and if you give me your login information for said account I can make the transfer happen really quickly. Looking forward to your correspondence.

Ok take your pick https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143553561582

Thanks, no not really, in fact in a weird way it doesn't actually matter what the amp sounds like as I'll never hear it!!

Glitch in the matrix I think. @Dad3353 please bring @warwickhunt in for questioning. I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding that can all be ironed out with a good beating.

Hi folks I'm looking for a class D amplifier to drive my Bass Board. I'm currently using a TC BH800 which is great but the annoying thing is that the power switch is on the back of the amp and because it's part of a studio setup I have to reach behind a monitor to turn it on which is a bit awkward. I also don't need 800w to drive the board at home levels. So I'm looking for any ideas for a small amp with power switch on the front. The Bass board acts the same as an 8ohm cab for reference, but I don't think I'd need more than 200w. It would be nice if there's not much fan noise (It only kicks in on the BH800 after some time) So far I have seen the Gallien Krueger MB200 which looks pretty neat. I haven't kept up to date with things so may have missed something. Budget - well, I can sell the BH800 to replace it with something or have maybe £250 for a second hand amp and keep the TC as a spare. Cheers ped

No probs folks, all sorted now so if you still see the message just clear your cache and cookies. Cheers ped

I’ve disabled them for now until monumetric get their stuff together.

Can you guys dismiss the warnings or doesn’t it let you? If it doesn’t I’ll just turn off the ads until Monumetric sort themselves out (this used to happen with Google Adsense too)

No but it could be an advert triggering the system, I think that’s happened before. Edit- just seem the screenshot. Yes that’s it. Monumetric host our external ads and that’s what’s triggering it (one of the ads they are serving). It’s nothing dangerous so can be dismissed. In the meantime I’ll pass it on to them. Thanks

Any compressor can be a limiter if it has an infinity ratio.

Thanks everyone it means a lot.

Me too Davo, put a bass in my hands with 45's and I can barely play it. Give me a bass with 40s and I can't play it either, but at least I can go through the motions
