Pbassred Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Since I can't find any evidence of [b]anyone in the world [/b]doing It, I am tempted to fit one of these:- [url="http://www.markbass.it/product_detail.php?id=153"]http://www.markbass.it/product_detail.php?id=153[/url] Into my Littlemark800 tube - just to see what happens. The scientist in me wants to record the difference(?) for posterity. Does anyone have any suggestions for tests? - I don't mean take it to a gig. I mean something more measurable.

brensabre79 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Record a bit of your bass playing, clean, and straight into the desk (no amp, or anything). Play it back through the head and record the result. Then make the change, and play the original recording through it again, all settings the same and you can analyze the results. Some people just play the same bassline twice, but then the inconsistencies in the two performances make analysis harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brensabre79 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Although my first question would be why do they not have a Pro DI out in the first place? For the prices Markbass amps go for I would expect it to be included! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pbassred Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Not to hijack my own thread, but ...yeah. I can see that there is a cost issue involved in fitting an audio transformer as standard, but it would be cheaper than making a completely new circuit board. I also have a teensy concern about how well the circuit board stays in place inside the amp in a rock and roll world. but that's part of the investigation I suppose. ( just spent today drop-testing electronic equipment). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pbassred Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 Well its on order. I don't know how long it will be until they ship. Knowing MY luck they don't actually have any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertbass Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Wow, selling a super DI upgrade that should have been in the amp in the first place. That's brilliant marketing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 you wouldn't get that sort of behaviour from Behringer now, would you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertbass Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Of course you wouldn't, someone else would have to make it first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
