I've stuck with digital and modelling as much as possible, I've just sought out modellers that I find to have an easier interface. I've ended up with a B3 into a GK Plex. Modelly, digitally, ampless, frfr, all of the good stuff just with as little complexity as I could find without compromising sound. Other people in other situations may prefer other equipment. To be fair, for most people, especially on bass, once you have your killer amp sound, you are unlikely to be changing much. On a gig, I have my core sound - easily tweakable per venue... and then fx in the fx slots. In reality, the tweaking factor is not an issue for me - as I am on IEMs. So any tweaking should be at the PA to account for the room, nothing else. I haven't got a local FRFR that I'm using for monitoring purposes - just front of house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's what's a push and a pull factor to another B3 - give me one of the amp models and I'm happy (Aguilar I think or SVT) and I don't want to fiddle - the good thing is the pedal has that - the bad thing is it has so much more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got another board that has an MS-60B and a DI box. I have the Zoom set eq>overdrive(swtichable)>SVT>comp and I really couldn't be happier. One button to press!

lemmywinks Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 If they could have crammed a DI out into that little MS60B then it would be a must buy for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, right? If they'd made one of the outputs (or even jut made it single output to save costs) a TRS so it was balanced it would be ideal.

ped Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 So you can’t use headphones out of an MS60B? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which was not difficult. However, that was a couple years ago. I am afraid that I need the manual now if I had to change something.

CameronJ Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 @owen, your timing is impeccable. There’s one in the classifieds right now for the insane price of £45! Get it while it’s hot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I am all over it like a bad rash. Thanks for the tip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
