Just sold Dave my treasured BDDI. Great comm’s and couldn’t have asked for a better transaction. Also one of the very few recently that let me know the item had arrived, which is always appreciated. Have fun with it mate.

My covers band will make a killing.....😂
-
No, its not that. Ive used them with headphones all the time at home, from day one, almost daily. If a re boot fixes it i must have the correct settings already. Thanks anyway. -
Only issue ive had with my Stomp (which was used but works fine) is 3 or 4 times, in the 18 months or so that ive and it, ive noticed no sound output through my headphones (no idea about the main outs). Had to reboot each time. I put this down to bugs in the FW rather than mechanical though. Luckily with the latest FW version i can see that the input is receiving a signal, so that cuts down on the fault finding. Its not happen for a while though.

No problem with the delivery, the biscuits covered that lol. Yes, the SY-1 was very impressive. Ive only used the Helix sub and was quite happy with that, but the SY-1 seemed a lot tighter and solid. Very impressed with how low it went. I can see a good cab or two getting ruined if that was used in a live situation at a decent volume.

Get the kettle on 😏

Thanks. Yes, definitely going to see if the Stomp works before moving forward. The two options I have without spending is try the Stomp, and take one of our own PA cabs, as I know they are better. Downside to that is playing in mono (I’m not going to take two), which is fine as I can use it like a combo. I think this is the best solution anyway, as it will also get me used to using them for our gigs in the future. It will still need EQ so I’ll still need to take the Stomp anyway, and I do want to know if I can fix the issue with the studio PA. When I started the thread I was adamant I wasn’t going to use the Stomp, but with its headphone amp and separate volume control I don’t think there is anything else that can touch it.

Whatever the email notification takes me to.

On a slightly different note, has anyone listened to/seen the iHeart Radio Music Festival 2020 recordings on YT? Obviously done in a closed studio, but some idiot has overdubbed a large crowd clapping and cheering over all the performances. Its like canned laughter, only more fake.
-
Sorry, I meant the B1 I already have is mono, so I discounted that.
-
Thanks. I have a Zoom B1-4 which I had thought about using, but again it’s not stereo. I think I’m going to stick with the Helix Stomp for now. It already has all I need (the ability to chain up to 8 EQ’s must surely be more than enough lol). Not sure how a DAW at home would help me fix an issue at a rehearsal room though. I’m tying to Eden out the PA system, which can only be done at the venue. What changed my mind about using the Stomp from when I started the thread is it also has a headphone amp built in. I’ve been trying to work out how I can use headphones with the Synth without using yet another box for monitoring at gigs. The Stomp sorts this out as well so it kills two birds with with one stone, and I already have it.

I had thought about that something like that but I want to get something that will sit on my keyboard so I can make adjustments while playing. I know I can with the iPhone etc, but it’s overkill and needlessly complicated for what I’m after.
-
Yeah, gone off that idea now. Still looking like ill end up with the EQ2.
-
Yeah, I mentioned that I’m a previous post. Shame it’s mono. Not to bothered about dials and sliders as such, as long as the adjustments are easy to accomplish.
-
Ignore those questions. All the other answers are in the very well written manual. Bugger, looks like I’m going to end up spending more money than i thought.
-
Ok, i must confess the EQ2 has been playing on my mind tonight. It does seem perfect, although the price is a sticking point. Nothing i cant talk myself around though, especially if my Boss EQ-200 sellls. Peter. Can I ask you a few questions about this? 1. Can I change the LPF and HPF freq’s using just the pedal? I wont have a PC or Laptop to hand. If I not can i use the Neuro App on my iPhone to do this? It looks like i might need to set the outer bands up for this first, but thats fine, as long as i can change the freq’s on the fly. 2. I’m assuming each of the 10 bands can have its freq’s changed, but are the numbers below the sliders fixed? 3. Looks like the Q can be changes for each of the sliders when used as a Graphic. Is that correct? 4. What type of indication on the pedal is there, if any, that the Parametric mode is being used. It looks quite complicated, although nothing i cant get my head around, but all the YT demos ive seen seem to concentrate on using a computer. I want to mainly use as a stand alone product, so i can tweak things at rehearsals/gigs. Although my needs are basic i do want to have access to the main features liek Freq, Q and amount for all bands inc LPF and HPF. If it works with my iphone then thats good enough. Sorry, i know thats a lot of info I’m asking for. We cold take this to PM if its easier.

I used to have the old TC Parametric pedal. Got it for the exact same reason IIR. God that was a long time ago. Thanks for the suggestions. If i went rack i might go for the Behringer DEQ2496. looks amazing for £230. Even has a freq analyser built in. Not really keen on a rack unit though. I still think the Mooer is in the lead. I can get two for just under £220. I’m going to use my Stomp to see if EQ can fix the issue first. Its looking more like I should just use that anyway.
-
Hmm, the Mooer Radar looks like it might work, and its over £100 cheaper than the SA. Other than its mono it looks like it might do the trick.
-
Ah right, just had another look. Ok, yes, it seems to do all i need, but its a silly price to pay considering i have the Helix, and just need it to flatten the PA out. That was the reason I went for the Boss over that. Shame, it does look good.
-
Ive seen this, almost considered it before getting the much cheaper Boss, but isnt the SA a graphic?
-
Should add, the Empress looks the closest, and I’m sure that would actually work fine but it’s missing the LPF.
-
I’m on the lookout for something quite specific. I want a small box (as opposed to rack) 3 or 4 band Parametric EQ. Each band with Q adjustment. Also variable LPF. Not worried about the cut amount, but need to be able to change the Freq. Would prefer real knobs over software, but not a big deal as long as it was well laid out. Battery operated would be great. Stereo would be good, although I could get by with mono if i had to and the price was right. All that is covered in my Helix Stomp, long with the option to add loads of other stuff, but i don’t really want to use it unless i have to. It must have ALL the above features. Ive seen loads that have most, but these are the features i know i want so anything missing is not going to work and I’ll keep on using the Helix. It can have more, but not too much as i don’t need more, so wouldn't want to pay more than i have to. This is for use with a synth, so no need for boosts, amp sims, any other effects etc. Just plain EQ. Cheers.

I got this in Aug this year from PMT. Thought it would be handy for using with my keyboard, but turns out its not really the right tool. Going to need a Parametric, which i just so happen to have in my Helix. Ive only used it for 3 hours, at a rehearsal, with it sitting on my synth. Comes with box, all paperwork, sticky feet etc. £150 firm, inc 1st class post in UK. Wont ship off mainland. Key features. Class-leading sound quality with 32-bit AD/DA, 32-bit floating point processing, and 96 kHz sampling rate Dual 10-band EQs that can be used in stereo, parallel, or series Insert function for processing external effects with pre and/or post tone shaping Three different range settings: 30 Hz to 12.8 kHz, 32 Hz to 16 kHz, and 28 Hz to 14 kHz 15 dB boost/cut on each band, plus overall level control for each channel Stereo link function for operating both EQ channels together Intuitive interface with hands-on sliders and graphic EQ display Real-time panel setting and four memories for storing favorite sounds Panel Lock function disables controls to prevent unwanted changes Two onboard footswitches with customizable assignments Support for expanded control via external footswitches, an expression pedal, or MIDI Full MIDI I/O provided with mini TRS jacks (BMIDI-5-35 adaptor cable available separately) Micro USB jack for firmware updates Runs on PSA-series AC adaptor or three AA-size batteries -
Maybe not quite on topic but a few years ago a mate brought a Dingwall and an old Ibanez Roadster bass to one of my gigs. I used the Dingwall for the first gig (very nice bass), and the Ibby for the next two gigs. The Ibby was an amazing bass to play, and sounded much better for me.
-
I did it twice at rehearsals only. Not a board, by my Helix Stomp. Xvive between bass and Helix, Boss WL20 between Helix and amp. I did it that way around as the Boss has the lower latency. Reason for doing it?, because I could. Not much point as the Helix still needed to be powered, so not entirely cable free. It worked ok though, at least to my ears.
