jackers Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 yea, I've found the same, with the stock tubes break starts a little past half way, which is what I would expect from most gain controls really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Ant, Jackers, are your OTB's fairly new models, or from a year or more ago? I know that Orange were planning to source rather better valves ... maybe they have done so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackers Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 I think my OTB is about 18 months old, so that is definitely possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramirez Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) No point starting a new thread! Just been playing around with mine, and was surprised to see someone describe it here as mid scooped. Does anyone else find this? I was messing around trying to get is as close as possible to the Ampeg Fliptop model on my Zoom B3, and found I had to pull the mids right down and the treble and bass full up. I had no reference so my ears and brain were lost by the end I'm sure, but I found myself preferring it with the mids down low - it didn't sound to scooped to me (but as I said, my ears not have been best placed to judge it by then!) So, currently: Gain: 9 o clock, Treble: Max, Mids: Min, Bass: Max - using an American Special FSR Precision with fresh LaBella flats (I'm preety sure the freshness of the strings contributes to what I don't like!) and an Orange SP212 cab. We'll see how it goes with a band tomorrow. Edited February 26, 2013 by Ramirez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Mid scoop is kind of a fact of the sort of EQ it has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramirez Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Hmm, interesting. Just played a bit more - my Precision is massively more mid heavy than the Jazz, which goes someway towards explaining it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Both pickups on full gives a mid scoop on the jazz, back one off to even it up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0175westwood29 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 thread bump just got myself a bt1000! hopefully getting shipped to me via a nice basschatter tomoz! wondering if the setting here are transferable as the 1000 seems to have cut and boost written on the eq with 12 o clock looking to be flat have they changed the eq slightly on the 1000w version? andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
