beely Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Hi. This is my current bass set-up:- Ampeg SVT 4Pro Barefaced Bass Super 12. Rickenbacker 4001. I’m not unhappy with the sound I am getting but I’d like to try using the Ric-o-sound. Is it possible to use the two individual amps in the SVT 4Pro to separate the pick-ups for stereo use? Obviously I would have to add another cab, possibly a Barefaced Compact (dreaming). I have a stereo splitter, ie one stereo in, two mono out. Could I use a preamp, such as the SVP-Pro, as one mono input and the main input on the SVT 4Pro as the other mono input? Would I be able to direct each mono signal to a separate amp and then on to each separate speaker? I’m not sure if I’ve explained this particularly well, though I think any of you who play Rickenbackers will understand what I’m looking for. I suppose it might be easier to buy another amp but that means more weight, more expense, more hassle etc. The 4Pro has more than enough power for me. Seems a shame to not use it. I did use the Ric-o-sound years ago through one amp and cab. It was a Selmer Treble n’ Bass 100 that had two inputs. (One treble and one bass, surprisingly enough) Even through one cab it still sounded better than straight mono. As I said, I’m happy enough with the sound I am getting. (Actually that’s not quite true as my amp is slightly unwell at the moment as in, not working at all.) I’m mostly just curious to find out if this one-amp Ric-o-sound set-up is possible. Thanks in advance for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Dunno what the input options on that amp are like, but might be easier just getting a couple of preamps and a power amp, it is what I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
