    Does anyone know of a cheap rackmount di (4+ channels) with XLR in and Out with 1/4inch links out? Cheers

    Firstly it is not the most cloned compressor, that title belongs to the Ross which is pretty much every comp available in pedal form, then comes the orange squeezer. They were built by Dan Armstrong and they plugged straight into your guitar and has a switch to turn it on and off. Many guitarists used them as boosts and sustainers, you can hear it all over the Doobie Brothers tracks. On bass the original is pretty useless, but with a few small cap changes extending the range it's great, add a nice vintage warmth and at extreme settings a percussive effect, Tony Levin is a big user of this compressor, but more as an effect with all the other comps he's running. There are still lots available today and its recently been picked up by more mass manufactures such as BBE. My favourite was the Tone Factor Pulp Mill which I had modded and that was my main compressor for 2-3 years which is a long long time for me to hold on to a pedal

    Most definitely. Yeah I just sat in the street beating my Cajones while 2 women sat around me and sang It's an easy mistake to make and could get you in big big trouble

    I like the Line 6 tuner other than it doesn't do my low a string On ebay for 50 quid is a Line 6 X3 hardcase which is that much bigger than the M13 it allows for 1 and a tuner and such I think it would fit an M13 and 2 exprs. That's what I intend to get.

    [quote name='geilerbass' post='575602' date='Aug 20 2009, 02:48 PM']With regards to the technical side of it, we got the guy who recorded the album to give us a mix of the tracks with just the parts that we needed in the backing, along with a click track. It's a stereo mix with the backing panned fully to one side and the click fully to the other. The tracks are WAVs, I believe and are played off an Ipod through a small mixer, where the signal is split into left and right. The side with the click goes as a mono signal into a pair of headphones for our drummer and the backing side goes out through as a mono signal to the desk (usually through a DI box).[/quote] Seems like it's only my drummer who complains about not being able to hear anything on stage, we've had to develop a fairly complex setup for him to get an IEM mix

    Using a Gator bag at the moment, think I'll sell it soon as I've missed having it setup in a flightcase with everything setup permanently. It will fit on a PT Jr just with nothing else

    [quote name='Tradfusion' post='575568' date='Aug 20 2009, 02:26 PM']Cheers for all the advice and encouragement lads, I'm off to play Soldiers for the weekend so I cant make any more contributions for a while, anyway it is a healthy debate and music is after all supposed to be fun as well as everything else. I intend to take a stab at using some BT's, if it works great, and if not..well nobody died!! I have a much better clue as to the pros and cons, snags and tech stuff now than I had before I started the thread... Cheers... Dave [/quote] I know quite a few bands that just use an Ipod to run their backing tracks, so it can work just fine. We've just chosen to go a much more in depth route than that to control other elements of the show.

    [quote name='bilbo230763' post='575565' date='Aug 20 2009, 02:24 PM']God forbid! [/quote] Well yeah to be honest, we'd have one type of artist, someone on stage with a guitar, maybe not even that if they feel the guitar isn't really integral, it can just go on and on. [quote name='bilbo230763' post='575565' date='Aug 20 2009, 02:24 PM']That makes it ok, then. :lol[/quote] Justifies it a hell of a lot better than some guys playing in a pub just refusing to change anything what so ever.

    Well I've read most of this thread it's amazing how polarised people are about this subject. My band plays to backing track, our set is a tidy 30 minutes and played with 2 wav tracks. On these backing tracks we have intros and outro's, 808's, pianos, violins etc. What is also going to be happening soon is these backing tracks are going to trigger DMX lighting fx and vocal processing (verb and delay etc) Now we could get other members in to play these parts, I could also get a lighting guy in to do the lights and a sound guy to trigger the vocal effects in just the right place, but we just can't afford to tour with like 10 people or so to run the act I particularly don't want a dedicated 808 player . Also adding members to bands is more than just people playing instruments, there is a band dynamic, relationships etc. Also my band plays some pretty big stages, we use this space to perform in, can't do that with a 3 piece orchestra and piano player on there as well as the person controlling the lights. None of our fans feel cheated by the show, it's not like we have vocals on the backing tracks, just instruments that add to the sound. These are instruments that were used on the album and played in the studio, sometimes by session people, they aren't integral to the song but they do make it sound better. If we took away everything that wasn't integral to the music where would we end up? Singer songwriters? As stated a lot/most pro bands do it, Muse, Nine Inch Nails, Foo Fighters etc

    Hmmm not sure, I mean it's well built and therefore weighty but the Jr is always manageable. The best solution is what I did for the past 3 years, have a HC version and get a case for the board and when doing gigs and tours use the hc and weekly practices and jams stick it in the bag. Best of both worlds is really where it's at
  15. tayste_2000
    It's not to bad really, but I eventually had flightcases made for my PT Jr's and then eventually bought the HC version of it. Personally if my board is worth any considerable money I'd always get the hardcase
  16. tayste_2000
    Thought I'd make a new sale thread as the last one is a bit messy. First up is a great condition Pedaltrain Jr, I say great because the board is mint and the case has a few scratches here and there, nothing major but hell it's a flightcase. This is the newer version with the PP2 rails underneath, obviously don't need it anymore. SOLD Next it's the pedals Ok so here we go Tone Factor Hellbaby - Uber rare 25 made, never going to be made again. This is the king of boosts, it can get from gritty to distorted but the amount of gain it has is just insane, really recommend this to people with tube amps but great whatever. This will get you heard in your band, just before the speakers fly out of your cab and hit the singer in the back of the head - SOLD Soundclip (Not great, hard to demo a boost without clipping the thing recording it) [url="http://www.grygrx.net/Pedal%20Reviews/Tone%20Factor/Hellbaby/Tonefactor%20Hellbaby.mp3"]http://www.grygrx.net/Pedal%20Reviews/Tone...%20Hellbaby.mp3[/url] Toasted Modified Dod Grunge - One of a kind, painted in a glossy grey with metal black knobs, very cool if you are into the whole stealth pedal thing. It's just insane amount of dirt, real wall of fuzz sounds but retains low end and definition really well. - Withdrawn Soundclip [url="http://www.grygrx.net/bass/tayste/Dod%20Modded%20Grunge.mp3"]http://www.grygrx.net/bass/tayste/Dod%20Modded%20Grunge.mp3[/url] I'm open to offers, not really up for anything trade wise but will consider part ex's if your looking at getting rid of something I can sell Cheers

    Cascade I meant Bass into ch1 then output (tube) into ch2 Would that work? So the gain knob show is purely for the output level of the line out? So by turning this gain knob to full does it distort or just send a really hot signal out? Or both?
  18. tayste_2000
    Ok just got a few more questions if you don't mind. Is it possible to cascade the channels into each other? Are the outputs line or instrument level? Is the DI protected from Phantom Power? (Say some numpty soundman turns it on live is the box going to explode?) Is this robust enough for live use? It will be racked of course Does it get particularly hot during a 2 hour running period?
  19. tayste_2000
    OK thanks, I'll do a bit of research and get back to you. Don't suppose you've ever directly compared this to a Summit TD-100?

    Can I see some shots of the back please.

    I'm just wondering if I should have my Hifi combined with my DVD setup, my current dvd player is on it's way out. You in Manchester in the near future? I'm not in a rush. Thinking Amp, Radio and DVD player at the moment. Then go buy some of my favourite old JBL Control 1G's
  22. tayste_2000
    Sorta tempted by all of it to be honest. Does the Yamaha have a phono preamp? Cheers Ah wait I can read, it does Does the Marantz have like a 5.1 out or anything for surround sound
  23. tayste_2000
    Basschat should only stop you sending more than PM a minute, so you might just want to give it ago again now. Cheers
  24. tayste_2000
    Sorry got all the modulation I need at the moment.
  25. tayste_2000
    Yes and relay based bypass so you can have delay trails as the true bypass cuts them off but it does do both.
