Lozz196 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Don`t know abt the RH, but I had a Classic 450 - which may be voiced differently - and it was everything at midday, aside from a slight low-mid cut, and both Tubetone and Spectracomp on 4. Gave a lovely Ampeggy-type sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skychaserhigh Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Just turn the knobs until it sounds good to you. It's the best way to get a sound that you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a batch of presets for an RH450 from the recommended ones on TalkBass and painstakingly tweaked them to get what I thought was three perfect tones for my band. Took it out on a gig and every one of them absolutely sucked in a live band situation. Really put me off the whole idea of infinitely variable tone tweaking options. Definitely worth trying to get a simple start point (or points given you have 3 pre-sets) and make small adjustments (with a patient band) at a loud rehearsal so you know how it's going to work in a live mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 If the RH750 is your thing then great, but for me the thought of a next-level menu of tweakable parameters fills me with... Option Anxiety! Should I nudge that lo-mid centre frequency down by 50Hz? What about activating Tweeter Tone(TM)? No thanks, I'll stick with 3 or 4 knobs that actually I hardly ever touch. OP - you have fun though, don't mind an old curmudgeon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregBass Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I bought my RH750 from someone here, and the settings didn't work for me. It took me a while to work out the semi-parametric eq, but as soon as I did the sound came alive. The big question is: what sort of sound do you want? I found that the top end was way too subdued for me, as I like clank. I made the centre frequency of the treble control lower, giving me more control over that area just above upper mids. and boosted that up to about 3 o'clock. I also pushed the Tweeter Tone up, and pulled the compressor right down to make it more responsive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
