[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1499976668' post='3334983'] [url="https://www.positivegrid.com/summernamm17"]https://www.positive...om/summernamm17[/url] I for one think their bass amp models in JamUp and BIAS for iPad sound rather meh in comparison with their competition, but I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out! [/quote] Yes should be interesting! What i really long for though is a processor amplifier that can 'do' what BIAS FX can - and that's have two signal paths at the same time both with their own stereo effects and different amplifier simulations. As it doesn't exist, the nearest option is probably Line 6 Helix given it's excellent user interface.

[quote name='Kevin Dean' timestamp='1499438157' post='3331581'] It's probably been asked but , I'm getting a video done soon with me playing along with a original . Is there a way of removing the bass from the original track or just roll the bass frequency off ..I'll be doing my own version as I'm using a Roland GR55 to emulate brass & strings at the same time ..cheers . A friend of mine that has just done a Film & sound degree has offered to do it with His gear & just wants the experience . [/quote] What's the track?

My immediate reaction, having found myself in the same situation is that on many occasions the festival organisers under estimate the power/type of generator required for everything that will use it. I recall one time the band couldn't play when the club house auto-kettle was on. Ok, I was 13 at the time, but you don't forget ridiculous situations like that too quickly. So, if a generator is required to do lights, PA FOH, backline, monitors etc etc, it doesn't take much for the current requirements to add up. So no, I don't buy it - your amp may have been part of the 'current requirement' but not isolated as to blame. It's nonsense.

[quote name='Muzz' timestamp='1499798089' post='3333718'] Hem hem...you only need down to 2.67 for three 8's, but they do sound gooood... Well, did... [/quote] lol, yes, the 0.67 Ohms in the grand scheme of things was so little it wasn't worth the extra typing ha ha ha! That's a peach of a rig. Maybe when my woes with pennies have alleviated themselves I'll get a chance to try that out!

[quote name='Merton' timestamp='1499787973' post='3333609'] Does this use the standard ICEPower amp module or something a bit more exotic? [/quote] I actually don't know, but I do know that it has surprised me with what it is capable of. Tom Bowlus, a man who knows amplifiers, reported the same views too. Doesn't sound anaemic at all.

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1499788446' post='3333611'] This looks like the version to use if you don't have Berg cabs. I have no doubt it will sound amazing. The B|amp put me off with control managed via screens behind screens. That's not what I want when I need to change something in a 2 bar break on a dark stage. 2 Ohm is good but I wish a moveable HPF was included in the design. [/quote] The B|Amp will happily run with the profiles switched off and thus both amplifiers will behave the same through non-Berg cabinets. Or to put it another way, there's till plenty of good stuff (like the variable HPF) on B|Amp to warrant the additional spend. As you say though, for those who might not need the extras, The Forte looks like a very promising piece of kit indeed. With regard to the screens behind screens, I can confidently say that there's nothing in those menus you'd need to change in a 2 bar break on stage. The settings are utility settings mostly. I really want to stack three Berg cabinets on top of each other to see what it sounds like!! 2 ohms all the way!

[quote name='Merton' timestamp='1499784355' post='3333581'] I like the look of that! [/quote] Yes me too, though I am rather used to seeing the digital display of B|Amp!

[b]ALL ISSUES TO DATE ARE NOW UP ONLINE ON THE GUITAR INTERACTIVE WEBSITE: [url="https://www.guitarinteractivemagazine.com/issues/"]https://www.guitarin...ine.com/issues/[/url][/b]

I've added up to Issue 44 - still 6 more to do to get to the current list. Link in my signature for a general search.

Actually, yes, it's in Guitar Pro's My Song Book: http://www.mysongbook.com/search?utf8=✓&search%5Btype_item%5D=4&search%5Bname%5D=Cupid%27s+Dead (You'll need a free account)

I'm pretty sure I had Cupid's Dead, but if not, there's a really good bass cover floating around YouTube that you could extract and slow down instead. I'll see if I can find the notation - it's very likely to be on Guitar Pro.

Another new toy has appeared on my horizon this evening. It looks like a cut down version of the B|Amp. I've been gigging the B|Amp a lot recently and love it; I think those who might not want all of the DSP controls will like this version. Here's the blurb from the Bergantino website. I have to say, if it sounds as good as the B|Amp it's going to make a lot of friends! [url="http://bergantino.com/product/forte/"]http://bergantino.com/product/forte/[/url] [quote] [color=#000000]Description[/color][size=2] Bergantino Audio forté Bass Amplifier[/size][size=2] The new Bergantino forté (pronounced “for-tay”) bass amplifier is the newest member of the Bergantino Audio amplifier family. The Bergantino Audio Systems forté is an incredibly flexible, state-of-the-art Bass Amplifier, delivering maximum performance in a compact package. The forté uses the same analog preamp and power amp section employed in the ground breaking B|Amp, but with fewer options and control. The forté and the B|Amp have the same great sound, headroom and immediate command of your bass instrument signal, but is offered in a traditional amplifier package.[/size][size=2] You will find many familiar features of the B|Amp including 4-band EQ control, bright switch, variable input gain adjustment, effects send/return, auxiliary input and headphone jack, tuner out, dual SpeakOn jacks, studio quality direct output, 2-Ohm operation and universal power supply. The forté also has a unique On-Board VRC (Variable Ratio Compressor) compressor adjustable from the front panel.[/size][size=2] • 4-Band Tone Controls[/size][size=2] • Bass: +/- 10dB @ 63Hz[/size][size=2] • Lo-Mid: +/- 10dB @ 250Hz[/size][size=2] • Hi-Mid: +/- 10dB @ 1kHz[/size][size=2] • Treble: +/- 10dB @ 3.5kHz[/size][size=2] • Bright switch: +6dB @ 6.5kHz[/size][size=2] • On-Board adjustable VRC (Variable Ratio Compressor) Compressor[/size][size=2] • Auxiliary input and headphone jack for personal monitor and practice use[/size][size=2] • Effects send and return loop[/size][size=2] • Studio quality Direct Output, software selectable Pre or Post EQ[/size][size=2] • UPS – Universal power supply 115VAC- 240VAC 50/60Hz[/size][size=2] • Power Section: 700W RMS at 4-Ohms, 800W RMS at 2-Ohms[/size][size=2] • Dimensions (WxDxH): 10.5″W x 8.375”D x 3.75”H[/size][size=2] • Weight: 6 lbs.[/size] [color=#000000]•[/color][color=#000000] [/color][color=#000000]ProNet Price: $899 USD (International Prices set in each country)[/color] [/quote] It doesn't look like the Forte includes the DSP speaker matching profiles which for me personally has been a major selling point of the B|Amp when paired with Bergantino speaker cabinets. This function is similar to the 'tuning' used by PA manufacturers to ensure that amplifier and cabinets pair accurately in desired frequency response. E.g, 'flat'. Either way, it's going to sound great.

(In a similar way to the isolated power supplies that have been discussed elsewhere). I'm sure there is a more elegant solution for iPad charging from a pedal board power supply, I've literally just searched for 5 minutes. Dan
