around 17.35 "obviously we've got some cut down gear here" he says

The bass tone coming through my just computer speakers from that clip is so good

[quote name='lojo' post='1041486' date='Nov 29 2010, 06:42 PM']Slightly off topic, but in a room last night with supplied backline, trace rig, but I brought my RH450 as I was trying out some settings, anyway RH450 DI into Trace combo, what a sound

I did not mess with the EQ on the trace and took no notice of it, but i was really taken by the sound it produced for every setting I had the RH put through it, the trace just did something extra

Not sure if it was the trace amp or drivers

Strange as ive never been a straight trace guy[/quote]


That'll be the massive torriodal transformer! no Class D stuff can match it for playing dynamics thats why Mark King went back to an old Trace Elliot SM in a red box (Ashdown) I did try the TC stuff today I was at a loose end.... Its a bit Swiss Army knife! can see it appeals for the working bass man its all there. Its hard however to add any attack with the EQ, very old school, but cool, very little playing dynamics though as with all switchy stuff, most people won't notice though as its not what they are after, nice but not for me as it takes the expression away from my playing, but I can say that about most stuff these days


1000 apologies for dragging up an old thread, but I made a comment the other day, about DSP, I have mixed feelings using this in a live amp as it can be used in a number of ways if you catch my drift. But ok if it sounds good its ok.

Coincidently a mate who is a keyboard player has just bought a new Hammond B3. Instead of the old tone wheels it has 96 DSP processors! one for each key, it sounds good, just like an original.

Interesting times as I know of some developments with valve technology which might make an interesting counter punch to the electronic route, yes siree there is some R and D into valves and you should see some new types coming out and into amps interesting!
