Thanks for this - I'll check them out. David

Fair enough - I've never played through a digital system so I'm definitely outside looking in. Wish I had access to a 'scope from time to time. David

Not trying to start a war here, but I think there is a flaw in the experiment. Your backing track is routed by wire and your brain is telling your fingers when to pluck. The fact that the bass sound is delayed is something that you can cope with. I think that the on-stage scenario is likely to be that the band monitor signal will be delayed by the legato ms1, your bass signal by the legato bug and the ms1, and you will still be trying to keep up with the rest of the band who are playing without a delay. That would be a different experiment. Apologies in advance if I've misunderstood your setup. David

I need good isolation to block the boom of the congas preventing me hearing what I am playing, so losing the bottom octave, if it gave me a punchy low mid, would actually help. Is that what you are hearing from the IE 100 Pro or are they more tuned to the vocal range and generally lacking in bass? David

A question and a heads-uo of my experiences with KZ Global Store on AliExpress: First, the question I find the shape of Shure 215s, with triple flanges, is comfortable and gives me the isolation I need, but I gather there are better value options available. I've tried the KZ ZS10 Pro, and did not find them comfortable either in the ear canal, or in the pinna. Is there anything shaped like a 215, but cheaper, that I should be considering as an upgrade/back-up? KZ Global Store I ordered a pair of ZS10 Pro from the store nd they arrived via a Dutch depot after about 3 weeks. They worked straight out of the box, but after peeling off one set of buds and fitting alternatives, one channel was dead. The casing was translucent, and I could see what appeared to be the internal connecting wire no longer making contact with the input socket. I registered a dispute and made a video that showed an MP3 player connected to the earphones, and each earpiece in turn offered up to a microphone - one earpiece lit up the mixer meters, the other didn't. Based on the video, AliExpress authorised the return, and I though that would be the end of it... When I worked out that tracked postage back to China would be about 50% of the cost of the earphones, I contacted the seller and asked them if they would like to accept the video evidence of a fault, and save the cost of refunding my postage. I then got a series of emails saying that they needed more detail, and would not process a refund unless I produced another, more detailed video. At this point I discovered that I had no way of sending them another video since AliExperss had closed the case. When I passed this information on to the seller, their response was - 'send us another video'... Eventually I stopped trying to be helpful and posted the fauly earphones back. A few weeks later, the Royal Mail tracking system stated that they had tried and failed to deliver the package, and it was in the depot awaiting collection. The seller's response - 'I have not received it yet'. I asked if they had tried to collect it, - 'I haven't received it yet' I eventually got past the AliExpress chatbot and found a human to chat to, and received a refund for the earphones within a couple of days, but I've had to go back to the chat room to ask them to sort out the refund of my postage. Summary: KZ Global Store are happy to take your money, but apparently hope that if they stall for long enough, they will not have to return it. David

D'Addario Chromes on my 5-string ABG. Sounds good to me David

I have the same problem,but I noticed it only occurs when I wear teeshirts, not shirts with collars. There is a seam running across my shoulder with a teeshirt, but the yoke on a collared shirt moves the seam elsewhere, so I wear a pad under the teeshirt and the problem has disappeared. Hope this helps. David
-
Thanks for checking - having a think... David -
Are any of the spaces wide enough to take an ABG? Possibly the end ones? David
-
Great bssses - I've kept mine for over 20 years, initially as my go-to and then as a back-up. So, if anyone wants to try one without travelling to Leicestershire, I'm just off J20 on the M6. GLWTS David -
Off topic, but how you asked how much would it cost to have a luthier replace the fretboard with a rosewood one? David
-
Thanks for the info @Elfrasho. Just to be clear, the interface may only have eq on the incoming signal, sending that signal to USB and to monitor. I haven't seen one that has eq on the output side. In my case I'm using an audio interface as a stand-alone headphone amplifier with baked-in eq.
-
Thanks for this. Looks nice, but as you say, the eq in stand alone is a bit clunky - set it by connection to a computer and is is baked in - provided it stays powered up. David

DISTORTION MICROPHONIC NOISE FEEDBACK PROBLEM?
Mottlefeeder replied to BasistaFunky's topic in Effects
I'm not a pedal expert, but from your description of the problem I would be looking for pedals with variable gain or compression, and turning that function off to see if it sorts the problem. Good luck David -
Steinberg UR22C will give you Yamaha designed preamps, two channels with global phantom power, one switchable to Hi-z, plus built in low latency HPF, 3-band eq and compression on each channel. It is also a USB powered interface.
-
Nice looking kit, but at £800-£1000 for a dual channel Apollo, I think it would be out of budget for many people looking to fix this specific problem. David
-
Agreed, a rack-mount two-channel 15-band graphic eq would work, and be cheap to source, but it's big, and you are only using about a third of the sliders. Getting that function in a small box was the starting point of my quest, but when you start adding in the cost of say 2 graphic eq pedals followed by a headphone amp, the cost goes up very quickly. David
-
Thanks for that - I'll check it out. Is it available at the budget end of the range or does it appear part way through? David

I use straps by Leathergraft (with a 'g') - a Liverpool based small company. I use the 100mm wide leather-neoprene-suede sandwich ones. https://leathergraft.co.uk/shop/ols/products/the-softy-guitar

A simple power supply is not a major problem - it has a fuse, transformer, bridge rectifier and two smoothing capacitors. Your cheapest option to avoid paying out for an amplifier-rated transformer would be to buy two smaller 18-0-18 transformers and wire the outputs to give 36-0-36. That's still £40+ just to see if it works... Connecting to the board would be neater with the right plug, although you could just bypass the plug as in the photo - you could hard-wire it, or use an XLR for power and jack for signal. I'm wondering if the plug is a Molex - they were common at the time, but some were limited to 12v max. They are still used on PC power supplies to disc drives. David
-
OK, back to my original question - do you have the amp that this was connected too, in which case you have the mating connector (with or without working electronics connected to it) or are you hoping to source a connector that will fit? David
-
Thanks for your thoughts, but I think we are trying to solve different problems. I'm looking for eq between a mixer and IEMs to compensate for damaged hearing. A dedicated mixer with swept mids is not going to be small, and a typical fixed 3-band eq mixer varies the mids at 2-2.5kHz which is too low. I had hoped to post this as a viable solution in the IEM bible thread, but it's looking like only one interface offers this facility. David
-
Too easy
-
Are you aiming to mate with it or check out whether it is passing the right signals? David
-
Wow - hadn't thought of it that way before. David
