Would issues with cabling etc not be a constant issue? As opposed to just when interacting with a specific other piece of equipment? I'll try it all the same on Wednesday, just asking out of curiosity.

[quote name='BassBod' timestamp='1320698940' post='1430315']Don't worry - the Orchid stuff is very good quality and not exactly expensive (£19 for an inline transformer). Send John an email describing your equipment and symptoms...he'll have some ideas.[/quote] Email on its way! [quote name='nottswarwick' timestamp='1320699304' post='1430325']Email crown too.[/quote] I've posted on the crown forums, which seem to have regular input from Crown tech folk. [quote name='nottswarwick' timestamp='1320699470' post='1430329']Also try each pedal separately[/quote] I've tried that. It seems to be related to the power supply running the board. Everything other than 1 unit is powered from a GigRig Modular Power System/Generator. As long as the board is powered the noise is there. Doesn't matter what's powered. I can't get the GigRig to induce any hum or noise to the signal chain in any other circumstances though or with another amp.

I'll check out the hum free stuff - its just frustrating that without the board there is no hum? I'll try the effects in the loop when at the studio on Wednesday but I hate the way many effects sound in a loop - given I've spent months refining the sounds in conjunction with it being Pre EQ I'm eager to not have to go down that route! I'm certainly not in a position to invest in additional audio processing equipment. This was an expensive move as it was.

They are before the Pre amp... Bass - pedalboard - preamp - poweramp Based on the same principle of running it before a 'regular' bass amp. I've never ran it though an effects loop as I want it 'effected' by my EQ settings.

Hi folks... After some advice. I've recently invested in a Pre and power amp set up. Finally got everything together today and had a good play. EBS 1v2 & Crown XTi 1000. Set up and running fine. No problems. Noise free etc etc... Until I plug my pedalboard in. I use a huge pedalboard as part of my setup and it's vital to what I do. Going bass to Pre to power works fine. Add the board and the power amp produces a loud low frequency hum with static-like harmonics. Very low, prob around 50hz, similar to unplugging the jack from your bass and putting your thumb on it, thoigh mixed with the actual signal. The sound is definately produced by the power amp as increasing volume makes it louder, where as reducing volume and pushing the volume on the preamp produces a clean (er) signal. Take the board out and it's perfect again. I've spent 2 years building this board and investing in noise free powering systems and it's very successful. I usually get no hum at all from my signal chain. To ensure something had not gone wrong with the board I have tried the board through 3 bass amps today as well, all provide noise free signal, but not the XTi. As the Pre/power set up works flawlessly without the board and the board works flawlessly with every other amp I'm pretty sure there is no 'fault' - but I'd hate to think I have invested in an amp that hates my setup. Half the reason I went for the XTi was its reputation with noise filtering etc etc I've just had to rehearse with my HD350 again due to the noise issues. Tried thing like swapping cables, tuning off lighting, trying different plug sockets etc but nothing changes - but given it works fine without the pedalboard I doubted this would be an issue. Ideas/suggestions? Shep

My number 1 bass (Used for about 99% of playing now) is my Roscoe Century 3006 Fretless...

Moogerfooger Cluster Flix arrived today. D&B players dream. The videos don't how half of what this can do. Contender for best pedal I've owned - YES! Video footage coming this week. Amazing bit of kit.

Excellent! Ones on the way

I have been wondering the same thing - Nothing laid out in discussions about the upgrade. From what I can tell, it is notifying you that the other person has deleted the message (in the same way it tells you what time they read messages when you go into it). It has little significance to you, other than you now know which people don't value your conversation very much

I can only second all the comments above. Your reputation goes far around these parts. Bass Merchant will certainly be missed! Shep

What power requirement does the receiver have? Is it 9.v centre neg like your 'average' effects pedal? If so, has anyone tried daisy chaining it of a pedal power supply, or does it require a dedicated supply? Shep

I don't use any in the amps loop. A few pedals do sound better in the loop, but slight alteration in tone does not seem worth the effort to me. I also like to ensure pedals can interact which mens is need to have 2 well thought out signal chains or I find I have a pedal in 1 chain that I then want to mix with the pedal in the other chain. Each to their own as with everything - but everything before works for me.

I couldn't find a feedback thread for xgsjx... Although I'm sure I'd seen one before! This is 2 tier positive feedback from me. Firstly Graeme bought my OC3 pedal. Easy and trouble free. Secondly, Graeme recently helped me out with a solo project by preparing me some electronica backing tracks. The tracks he produced were well and truly fantastic and way above my expectations. Seriously appreciate it! Thanks dude Shep

Another easy deal with Tim. He bought my BBE Crusher Distortion pedal. Easy peasy as before. Cheers dude

Sold this fine chap some Georgle L's. Paid promptly. Perfect transaction. Thanks dude Shep

As above, try everything an see what works best for you. The different orders create different sounds when you use then together. For me, Fuzz always comes before modulation. But as the answer above shows - everyone is different! Shep
