Korg Toneworks AX10B....Does anyone use one of these fella's, and if so, what are they like??? I currently use a Behringer V amp, and a Line 6 floor bass pod, (but not at the same time). In my opinion the V amp knocks the line 6 into next week..but the shape looks cack!! I did have the rack mount version of the Behringer, but in a live situation it could only be used with a midi pedal the size of Russia!!... so it had to go in favour of the floor mount version. The Line 6 does'nt have enough range on it for me, the only thing it has going for it is, it's brand new, never been gigged and is probably gonna' be Ebay fodder lol. Anyway, back to my original question, any advice on the Korg would be much appreciated...

I have no idea how you have your amp set up but you might find that using the E.Q to dial in a few more mids to you sound and take out some lows, which take a lot of power to amplify and might not be projected well by the cabs, makes it easier for you to hear yourself. Like you say the acoustics there will be shocking too so that will not help one bit. Forgive me if that sounds patronising, i really dont mean it to. I just seems that strange that your set up is not enough at the moment. Of course it may just be that you are far more 'Rawk' than a few of us on here![/quote] Ahh!!...now then, i don't use any mids at all if i can help it....i do however use a lot of lows and top end. I'll give those mids a tweakin' next time we rehearse and i'll let you know. 'Rawk'!! at my age!?!?... We do have it large when we get going lol..but it's only really since we've been in this bloody village hall. The drums just sound absolutely huge!! How do you tell a drummer to go lightly???..hahahahahaha.

It all depends on what you need really, but like uzzell said I would think you already have enough power on your hands for most applications. If you need any more than you have now you should probably start thinking about putting you bass through a P.A and using you rig as a monitor. What are you going to be using this set up for? We predominantly play metal...(and no..my amp doesn't go up to 11 lol). All im trying to do is re-educate myself on the basics of amp/cab set up's, it's been some years since i have been in a gigging band, i just wanted to be sure i was getting good wattage for my pound. Originally, i thought i would have enough power with the rig i have and everything would be tickety boo! But, we have had several rehearsal's in a small village hall due to not being able to get our usual rehearsal room. However, i am more than aware that the acoustics of an empty village hall are totally different to that of a nice warm rehearsal room. I had my amp volume up to 9 and it was barely audible over un-miked drums and guitar...and yes i thought PA should fill any short comings in power, but our drummer is such a big hitter..( like most drummers i suppose).. i was thinking that i'm not even going to hear it as a backline monitor....and the answer to this one is!?!?... there's only one way to find out lol.

Lol..i know exactly what you mean! I used to manage a small manufacturing section several years ago, and not one of lads or lasses had heard of The Marquee! and these kids were in there early/mid 20's lol!! I had to explain, that if you were a "muso" "back in the day"...then it was your nirvana to play there! Obviously they thought i was insane and used to ignore me in public..hahahahahaha. I really don't know what the world is coming too....... :wacko:

[quote name='Paul_C' post='743441' date='Feb 12 2010, 07:55 PM']you've got two 8ohm cabs plugged in which I imagine is dropping the impedance down to 4 ohms which uses the full 350w if you only had one cab plugged in then it would only be 240w[/quote] The back of the amp states... 8 ohms = 240w 4 ohms = 350w There are 2 outputs which both have 8 ohms written next to them. It's just really thrown me...lol So would it be worth while upgrading to the 500W amp..just for a little bit more oomph??

Ow do fellas....im from Rugeley.

I have recently got my hands on a Hartke rig....and please forgive my ignorance for asking these simple quenstions, but i'm old lol!! Amp...HA3500 350 Watts Cab 4x10 XL series = 400W Cab 1x15 Xl series =200W All 8 ohm rating... Amp states 240W at 8 ohm's..amp has 2 x speaker out channels, also 8 ohms.. Does this then mean i have 120W per channel????. If this is so, then it ain't gonna be loud enough for what i want. Could anyone advise me on a real rip snorter set up?!?! Have had my eye on an Ampeg set up...but don't know what i'd be looking for really. Music style played metal/rock. Thank's very Ta'
