DarkHeart Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 [quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1468614229' post='3092215'] I don't know why people think you can set the levels differently when using it as an A-B switch on the inputs. You can't. The only time you can set the levels differently is when you use it with a single input and A-B between two amplifiers - ie. two outputs and one input. You can't set the channels to different levels if you're switching between two inputs. [/quote] yes you can, have you got one? see those knobs on the top that say `Level`, you can turn them round so you can have the same volume from both inputs to the one output. Quote

AndrewJordan Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 I would send MoJo a message and ask him. He says he has one and it does. But it isn't clear from the manual. Quote

Apologies to all [/quote] It's easy to assume it as you'll most likely adjust the A channel as it's the first one you'll plug something into, hear that it changes the volume, and assume it's the same for B as well. Plus when you look at it, it seems obvious that it'll set the input levels. TBH, I went looking at the instructions after I found by experiment that the input levels weren't individually set. Quote
jonnythenotes Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Seymour Duncan pick up boost pedal. Have it switched off for the bass with the hottest signal, and hit the foot switch button to switch it on to your pre determined level for the bass with the weaker signal.. Pi$$ easy to use with just a signal strength knob and an on / off foot switch... I never gig without mine. Also great for a small pre set boost in songs that need a bit of lift in the mix. Hope this helps... Quote
tauzero Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 If you're changing EQ too, Zoom MS60B with one patch set up for one bass and the other for the other. Quote

TrevorR Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 I used a Lehle 3@1 for just this purpose. Not cheap but built like a battleship, completely uncolouring of the sound, totally silent, simple to set up and does the job 110%. Quote

[/quote] Yes, he said he wanted two basses into one amplifier input. That would mean one bass goes into input A and the other into input B, the output would go to the amplifier, and the switch would be set to give two inputs and one output. And when you do that, only one of the level controls alters a level, and the level that it alters is the overall level, not the level of one channel. What's so difficult to understand about that?

[/quote] I'm sorry, but have you got one? The instructions very clearly say that you are wrong, and the Level controls control the Output level of each Output, not the input gain of each input. Then again, this is Behringer and I'm happy to believe the instructions could be wrong! However, based on what it say, Tauzero is spot on. Quote
DarkHeart Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) yes Ive got one, ive run 2 basses into it into one input on the amp and been able to balance the pair of them using the level contols. Edited July 17, 2016 by DarkHeart Quote

It allows 2 basses to be plugged into 2 inputs, one into each, and the output can then be plugged into an amplifier.

[/quote] The levels are not set by the controls on the pedal in the way that you think. Read the instructions (conveniently reproduced on the first page of this topic), or get someone else to explain them to you if they're too complicated. Quote
