I've not used many octave pedals, but from the ones i've tried i'd definately go for the Micro POG... They sound awesome! Once I sort my amp out, I think i'll have to get one myself!

I was gonna ask the same question as Dincz, but thats opened another can of worms for me! I understand the Ohmage side of things... Im looking at buying a new rig... but want to get the most efficient poissible. After reading this topic i've discovered that your cab should be around about half more than ur amp... so for example, if I had a 500W head, i'd need a 750W cab OR 2 x 375W cabs. And if this is the case, then you wouldn't be able to add or take away any cabs and would have to use the rig as it is... Is this correct??... Actually, sod it, i'm gettin a combo!!! lol

Yeah, the cab I use has a tweeter, and you can't switch it off... I borrowed a newer cab to see if it made any difference and that had a switchable tweeter. I'll bear that in mind when I make the purchase. I have played with the EQ for some time now, and I do get a good sound, it just isn't quite loud enough. It's hard to explain, but playing the bass on it's own it's really quiet. I'm gonna make the trip to PMT tomorrow to try and sort something out. Have you been to Manchester PMT? Is it any good?

Thanks for your replies!! I bet they were quality indie! Especially after hearing The Big Roar. I heard The Chapman Family were good too? Do you think it's worth spending the extra wedge on an ABM rather than a MAG? I think a cab and seperate head would be the way for me, just so the weight is shared, rather than a combo like Rhydian uses. I haven't listened to much of Warpaint... they any good? They're a lot quieter than TJF aren't they? I've tried to up the bass and drop the treble but then the amp just farts and feels like its gonna pop... like indie says, I think 4x10 might be the way... Will I beable to run a 4x10 with a 1x15? I'm not really up on this ohmage lark. I'm nearly there, but what difference is a 2x10 than a 4x10 in terms of ohms?

Haha... is that the secret??? Damn, if only somebody had said earlier!!! lol Im running at pretty much 10, I poo a little bit everytime a play thinking that it's gonna blow!!!... the amp that is!

Well, using my rig, i've had comments saying that the bass sounds thin. No balls. I'm not sure if it's my EQ'ing, or whether I'm better off going for a 4x10 instead. Only trouble is now, i'm really weary about what i'm buying. I feel like nothing will be good enough unless I go 8x10. lol I really like a band called The Joy Formidable...and he has an amazing live sound. He uses a MAG 500w 410 combo with a Jaguar. It sounds amazing, although his pedalboard is about the size of a coffin, but I keep thinking theres this bass secret that nobody is letting me in on!! lol

Thanks for that!!! Thats one of the reasons I had the Rick, but can't seem to get anywhere near the sound... Must be the beast that is the 8x10 that does it!!

I LOVE the bass sound that Editors get... anybody know what rig he uses, or how to get a similar sound??

Oh, it still doesn't sound well with the extension unplugged. Not enough bottom end... then when the cab is in, it sort of feels like the 10s are trying to take too much of the bass and the 15 isn't taking enough.

Thans for the posts guys... EQ is normally:- Bass at 9 oclock, mids slightly boosted and treble flat.. Thats the best I've got so far. I was wondering whether it's because of the carpeted walls. The guitarist has got a big sound, so I did wonder if its because of that, but it does sound quiet on its own... no bal,ls at all. The Amp has been off to Ashdown to be tested and come back that everything is spot on! How do I check if its in phase with the 9v battery test? Thanks again.
