badboy1984 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Played a gig last night and I took the following amp equipment with me. 1x Ashdown LB30 1x Trace Elliot GP11 1x Trace Elliot 1153 cab We played in a small venue bar last night with the PA only for vocal and keys. Everything else is back line. I decided to try the LB30 first to see if I can get enough juice out. At the end although I can get away of using the LB30 when I crack the volume to near full and use high input to lower the gain, so the tone is pretty clean. I ended up not to use the LB30 and gone with the Trace Elliot instead. On the Trace Elliot I had the gain and volume at 12 o'clock postion. Is a 11 band EQ and I had the following settings. -3 db on 40hz +3 db on 100hz +6 db on 180hz +3 db on 340hz everything else is on 0 db. When I walked out to the front and do the sound check the bass sound lovely and cut in nicely but when I close to my amp and play the bass solo it sounded harsh like abit of distortion is added. At that point I decided to leave it as it is and play the gig since it sounded decent and no more time to mess around with EQ etc. It got wondering is the cab farting out or too much low mid to cause this?
