steve Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 After almost tearing my hair out (not that I have any) at my previous DB gig because of feedback when i set my amp volume above that of the level of a gnats fart, i thought I'd share my positive amplification experience of tonights gig. My signal chain is DB -> J-tone Big DB pickup - LR Baggs GigPro -> TC Electronic Polytune -> Artec Parametric EQ -> Boss LS-2 Channel A ->Ampeg PF500 Boss LS-2 Channel B ->EHX Headphone Amp Where :- the para EQ is there for emergencies (and wasn't needed) I use the EHX headphone amp for monitoring to help with my intonation. The pickup is a simple piezo one (similar to a BassMax) that was around £30 of ebay. Lows rolled of on the amp. The bass sounded pretty faithful to the acoustic tone when played without other band members, I had some really positive feedback from the audience saying how nice the bass sounded (so they could definately hear it) and the other band members said they could hear me OK. I can't enthuse enough about the Gigpro, but I'm impressed with the pickup also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'm using the LS-2 as a signal splitter, one channel of which feeds the headphone amp, which is hooked onto my pocket, and then I use one side of a pair of earbuds to give me a bass signal in one ear. Worked really well last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
