Expect ecstatic drunken reaction to bass kicking in.

The extent to which the bands are separated determines how much of your spectrum is vulnerable. Unfortunately it's not possible to brick wall it without some serious rack gear so we always wind up with several hundred Hz that is in common between the effected and unaffected. That's all assuming a crossover and blender is in play. With your 'garden biamp' of a distorted signal playing over a clean signal the usual approach is heavy EQ separation. That's even less reliable than a crossover.

No doubt you have found a niche but it doesn't give you the right to pass judgement on how other bands choose to entertain their drunken punters.

Acoustic version should be quite fine without electric bass, just be sure to put the HPF back on the acoustic guitar afterwards.

It took them so long because it really is a very small Trace Elliot team within Peavey. They did a good job putting the SMX into the Transit pedal and adding a overdrive. It may be a combination of parts of that with power. One guesses they have made another breakthrough and 500w 'Donk' with fuller featured preamp is GK MB200 size. I was hoping for 'Gnome' but Warwick stole that.

A lot of people use that term when they are actually parallel effected. There is no OR in biamp and crossover if you are doing it right.

Two basses are a VERY different ball of wax to slightly messing with half of the signal and putting it back with its unmessed twin. Iirc doubling up on incoherent sounds gets you 3dB louder. Coherent sounds x2 is 6dB louder. But adding coherent sounds out of phase results in a cancellation! Trouble is effected sounds retain much of their original form but could be 90 or 180 deg phase shifted if unlucky. Chorus and distortions commonly return 180 deg out. The blending of clean with the effected then suffers.

Yes it matters. That is the very reason many blend pedals come with a phase switch option. I guess you have to hear a phase mismatch to understand. The clearest demonstration is twin cabs miswired from a single source. The bottom drops right out. In my case I wrote of up the page my crossover zone was affected by some pedals coming back inverted relative to the clean lows. In the usual series line up of effects the various phase shifts are immaterial w.r.t our hearing. Not so when blending parallel effected signals, either before the amp or "in the air" with the bi-amp/ cab.

No guarantee an effected channel comes back in phase with the unaffected one whether it's biamped or mono mix.

Whitewash the south elevation. Shade the windows. Insulate the ceiling. Save on cooling effort by not letting it heat up in the first place.

Host of my regular open mic is a hua of a musician, guitarist singer, can't play fretless 5 string bass to save his life. Doesn't stop him trying after a few whiskeys. I figure it saves on other wannabes asking for a go.

Your problem changes from the lows to the mids when an effect that causes a large phase shift is used. Everything gets woolly. My old heavily effected rig got around the clean blend problem with a bunch of gear. I sent lows through unaffected and blended them back in with a phase adjustable blending system using three channels of a Wounded Paw blender. If you only use pedals that maintain phase you can skip the phase flipping but blending clean bass lows with effected skinny string guitar range is very fun. The other way to skin the cat is only use pedals that don't gut the lows. They are out there.

Methinks you are short on imagination and inexperienced in accompanying tambourine.

One would hope you have a dud. Can you test it with a known clean input to confirm the noise is coming from the unit?

What is the utility in defeating the Master Vol?

I find some jazz charts must be keyboardist written as they are ''correct'' but ''no bassist would play it like that''.

Only works when both pickups are on full. Humbuckers ftw.

Nobody is talking about first timers! It's the infrequent dabblers that drive us nuts. They think they can bass but they can't.

If you crank up your preamp output does it get LAF? There's your answer.

At least he's consistent. My drummer often accelerates through the count off then starts playing somewhere in the middle. When he uses his tablet gizmo app I get the tempo from that. If he isn't I have to cop his warm up to the count off. But dang he's a good drummer!

Not sure where you are going with this but a little story... Band's drummer was giving a lesson to a student as I rocked up to rehearsal. There was a backing track playing of a big band tune we do. I thought it was our band. The bass line was very much note for note with what I did improvising over the chord chart, before doing something a bit flashier. Bizzare.

Ya think?!!!

You should get a tech to examine the signal before assuming the noise is coming from the slave amp. If I was you I would break off the engagement to the Little Stubbie before this gets crazy.

If a little of the onboard does the trick I wouldn't be chasing another rabbit down a hole. What would a different comp achieve except adding too much compression when you already have just the right amount?
