gillento Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 In that case, can the "Master" be used to change the volume on the fly without changes in the DI out? Quote
MoJoKe Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) You can certainly adjust the master on the fly, I was doing just that last night! The DI out has its own level control, which is switchable on the rear panel +4/-10db, and there are additional DI options in the system menu. The DI Path can be set at the end of chain, post or pre amp EQ, and you can further adjust the DI Level. Edited July 26, 2015 by MoJoKe Quote
gillento Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 So let's say I need 3 or 4 patches for a set. Do I need to change all their programmed Master Volumes or does the Master pot takes care for all the patches. Does it come after the DI and after the programmed levels? Not knwing for sure is the one thing from buying one of these babies .... (Sorry, I am not a native english speaker) Quote
Dood Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Not a deal breaker, but it's a shame the stereo version doesn't bridge to 4 Ohms? - OR is there a way of muting an unused channel? Quote

Dood Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 I've just noticed that the mono version also has stereo line outputs - so worst case scenario, another amp could be ran as a slave for stereo operation. Interesting! Quote

Guest bassman7755 Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 According to the manual the "S" version does mono bridged @ 1000w Quote

[/quote] Ah fair enough, I guess the problem is that in order to run at 4 ohm bridged you would need to spec out the amp modules and power supply to be able to run 2 ohm stereo which would probably significantly increase the cost. Quote
Dood Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 I'm not sure it would - the Hartke LH1000 is capable of running bridged at 4 ohms and it's a monster amp for not much money. I appreciate it's an AB amp rather than D class but still, I'd expect that a little price hike was ok to swallow for the benefits. Quote

Dood Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 How low does the Octave effect track? I mean, can it handle an open E string? Quote

Some of the Factory Presets have MV included, and the output level jumps up and down all over the place as you select different patches! Quote

the someone Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 How do the tube/vintage amps sound on the ma? Thanks Quote
MoJoKe Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 My favourite amps are the Fender and Ampeg... I like the Trace Elliot too. All very authentic. Quote
MoJoKe Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Wahay! Just been told, the new firmware is available! I'm at home today so I'll get it loaded and report back later Quote
the someone Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Looking forward to see what the v3 update brings. See it's has a new comp but what does the comp indicator on screen mean? Quote
MoJoKe Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 I've already updated, having a proper play tomorrow, so I will report back! Quote
MoJoKe Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Anyone in the Devon area, I was speaking to MSL earlier, and there are going to be some cracking deals on Markbass and DV Mark (tell your guitarist friends!) at the Mansons show.... Quote
ryancowell25 Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Just done the update myself..... I would have thought the compressor at display would be some kind of threshold indicator Any thoughts anybody? Everything else seems to be there. Quote
MoJoKe Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 The MIDI updates are really excellent, particularly as I use a Softstep, the new effects are a bit "meh" if you ask me. I have loaded the new compressor and nothing happens on the display when active... I'll report back more later! Quote
