artisan Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I traded my class D amplifier for an Ashdown CTM 100 all tube amp' this afternoon. I recently bought an EMS Multicomp which worked wonders with my "old" amp & I am wondering if I should use it with my all tube amp'. With the class D I had the pedal set on tube sim & cranked up the comp/limit fairly high,but with the tube amp' I feel I won't need to use it so much if at all,however since it's a recent purchase I'd still like to use it. I was thinking of using it in dual band mode & set the comp/limit pretty low,maybe a third of the way up or so. what you you do ? cheers. btw this is my first tube/valve amplifier & I have yet to even switch it on,in fact I have never even played through a tube amp' before.

Sean Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I use a comp in front of all my valve amps. It needs setting slightly differently to when I use it through the Mesa Walkabout for example but valve amps don’t negate the need for a comp. As far as tube sim, try it, see what it sounds like. I had an EBS multicomp years ago and found it excellent. Suck it and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artisan Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 Thanks Sean. Tried it on Monday's rehersal & found dual band mode with both controls set at 10 o'clock was perfect for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
