Walker Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Hi all, My signal chain is pedalboard > Markbass TTE500 > a pair of Vanderkley cabs. Could I run the output of my TTE500 into one of these so I can practice witjh headphone using my whole rig or would I blow something up? [url="http://artproaudio.com/artcessories/mini_mixers/product/powermix_iii/"]Art Pro Audio PowerMix III[/url] Thanks Chris ++++++++++++++++++ From their site... [i][b]Problem:[/b] How do you connect a CD player, a synthesizer and the [color=#ff0000]line output from a bass amp[/color] to a tape deck?[/i] [i][b]Solution:[/b] Use a simple stereo mixer. The PowerMIX III can accept either mono or stereo signals and mixes them down to stereo or identical L/R mono signals.[/i] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 You could take the DI out from the amp into any mixer that has a headphone socket. Just DON"T take a line from one of the speaker outs to anything other than a speaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obbm Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 very simply any small mixer would do what you want as long as it has at least a single mic/line input and a stereo input for CD/iPod/PC. I use a small Soundcraft Notepad which has 4 mic/line and 4 stereo inputs and is much more flexible. I plug my bass straight into the mixer. Because the line-out from the Markbass is a DI out I would assume that it comes before the main volume control in which case you can just turn that down and keep the speaker connected. What the manual doesn't show is whether the DI is pre or post EQ. If the line-out is after the main volume control then you will need to run the amp with the speakers disconnected.

xgsjx Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 ^^ Good point. Worth checking your manual, the Little Mark heads have a jumper to make the DI Pre or Post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_Bass Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/behringer_xenyx_302_usb.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/behringer_xenyx_302_usb.htm[/url] I have one and it works very well. It does everything you want plus you can hook it up to your computer for recording! Very cheap too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Thank you all, I've got in touch to see about pre/post DI issue and that little Behringer lloks great. May upgrade to the smallest Yammy mixer as we could also use that in live situation too. Great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
