dave_bass5 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Just wondering if its anything like a HPF, and if so what its set at? @Lozz196 I believe you have used one 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never engage the rumble filter when I use an electric bass. (thins things out a little too much if I remember correctly)= Lozz maybe has more details.

dave_bass5 Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 Thanks, that’s a pretty much my understanding of it, but it would be nice to know the Freq its set at. This is the second time ive owned one, or will be later this week. the first was many years ago so that didnt have this filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 It is a HPF, but as it's not a bass specific pre, it'll be set higher than for example a Thumpinator. I have a figure of 80Hz in my head, no idea if I've remembered that from another thread or just made it up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If using the eq on the amp as well I reckon it would keep things nice and tight and focused. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 Cheers Lozz. Ill give it a try at some point. It does seem like it would be set much higher than a HPF but i cant find the actual freq. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have a Thumpinator and a Q/strip, which has a HPF in it, but i want to try and only use one battery powered pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 The estimate from the Tech21 rep in that other thread was 100 Hz! The rumble filter is more designed for acoustic guitars, where you want to roll off actual bass and not just subsonics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_bass5 Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 I got my PD yesterday. I had forgotten how powerful it is. Very happy with it (only used headphones so far). I can see me never using the two filters on bass, nice to have them though. One thing that puzzles me is the level knob doesnt turn the audio off when its all the way down. With the Blend off and level at zero i would have thought the audio would be muted, but its still quite loud. This is though both XLR and 1/4 jack. It took me a while to get a volume level that didn’t blow my ears off. With my BDDI the level goes down to almost inaudible. Still, very happy with it.....for now.

If you're going direct and inadvertently have the level at minimum the sound tech will get some signal and not think there is an issue with the connection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_bass5 Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 All this time travel stuff is very confusing, I need a Doctor lol. Don’t suppose there will ever be a programmable PDDI like the BDDI version? Ive found too many good tones in mine, struggling to choose.

funkydoug Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Although the PD v2 rumble filter is not designed as a HPF for bass guitars, the unit does have the subsonic filter that all Sansamp products have, so it should not need a thumpinator or something like it to filter out very low (subsonic) frequencies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no spec on the Thumpinator so it is hard to guess but I suspect it is something below 50 Hz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
