Trace Elliot TE1200 run flat and clean

Hey folks Any users on here running a Tech 21 VT into the front end of an amp ? Looking to get a more Ampeg kind of tone with some drive when required

Perhaps in the studio and home it’s lovely but live with a band it blankets the sound a bit. This is still a great amp for sure

Anyone compared the Boss GX10 with the Boss GX-1B ?

Tried it again at volume and I think it sounds best Compressor Off Shape Off It then sounds full and punchy In isolation the Shape ON sounds wonderful but you get buried in the mix so OFF is better unless you play slap perhaps

If you paid by credit card you’re protected but I’m sure it won’t come to that Their address is very vague ?? No unit number street or postcode I would expect more from a manufacture unless it’s early stages of setting up new place ?

BB-1X arrived and will try it loud tomorrow night. At home it sounds like a mild drive and warm sounding pedal Seems to be more like what I’m after but need to pop through an amp at gig volume. The tone controls are handy too and find drive set 10-11am is a nice grit kind of sound

I’ve found that as a pick player and using shape ON ( awesome) it sounds better with compressor OFF I noticed more bass with it OFF even with the low control at minimum setting

And ordered a TC Spark Booster to stack it with too

Just found one on eBay £80 ! ordered and will try it

I’m looking at adding some drive to my clean tone to run in front of my amp for live use. I do not use a lot of FX but I could benefit for slight light drive on certain songs Should I just buy a drive pedal or something like the Tech 21 Bassdriver DI or a low cost multi fx such as Boss GX1 all around the same price If the Boss GX1 does a decent overdrive sound ( very mild to fuzz ) it may be money well spent with the other features on offer Thoughts ?

If I recall the Orange Terror amps have some quirky thing going on with the FX loop. I’m sure I read something about it on in here a few years back where the master volume doesn’t work although the mk1 did Perhaps try a dummy jack into the input as I recall another amp brand did something odd if nothing plugged into the input jack even though you want to only use fx return

I think I read that Adam Clayton used the Sub feature ON very lightly as part of his normal tone ? Regarding the cabs I agree that mostly they are heavy and woolly sounding which masks your tone slightly and they are not very efficient either. They are robust but not high end quality

Gigged this song years back and it’s a great song

I agree the shape is a perfect match for pick playing. Fingerstyle less so as it pulls the mids out. Im convinced many new users play with the scoop shape ON not realising it’s actually on and claim it’s woolly and too deep. Perfect though for a pick player
