Monz Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I've been involved in some pretty intense trading of gear over the last few weeks culminating in me being the proud owner of a PJB24B and now a Demeter HPB-1 so tonight I set aside a couple of hours to play and see what tones I was happy with... well... I set up my old Peavey MkVI XP into the 24B and WOW lovely tone and probably well loud enough to play any of the gigs I do, so then set up the demeter through a power amp I have on loan and was not overley elated, sounded ok but not what I was expecting to hear, so just on the offchance I put the Demeter as a preamp to the peavey to bypass the peavey preamp and OMG it blew me away... great attack and a tone so musical I could have cried, I am absolutely amazed, yet again I have found the perfect sound (until the next time lol) DID I MENTION IT WAS FEKIN LOUD!!! I am officially a very happy bunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) Interesting - I had one of these from Owen a few years back, used it to front-end an Eden WTX260 and a D210XLT cab, and it simply didn't do it for me. When Owen expressed an interest in having it back, I had no trouble parting with it. Given that Owen also raved about it, it sounds like I should have persevered and tried it with other combinations of kit. Mind you, I've ended up running an Orange Terror Bass through a Barefaced Midget, so I probably would never have got to where I wanted with something as smooth and sophisticated as the HPB-1.
