Who's Who

Used the amp last night with no issues at all. Used all the same cables and the same bass and tried it at different voice levels, different settings, pick, fingers and had no issues at all. I had a spare valve with me ready to swap over hoping it may be a simple issue like that, but there was no need in the end. The amp worked fine all night. On the night in question we had my amp, the guitarist amp and his pedal board all running off an extension lead from single socket. Can't think what the problem was if it wasn't the electric as the amp was fine last night.

My PA (RCF 310A's and a Xenyx 2442 desk) seems to pick up static noise from somewhere and goes when the RCF's are turned off then on again. I wondered if it was the electrics to. Does your amp do this anywhere else? If it's fine everywhere else I'd assume it was the venue electrics. Hopefully someone will come along and explain things! Dan [/quote] I've never had a problem with the amp before. But I wasn't sure if it had just started developing problems or if the electrics were causing it.

Bit of a query for anyone in the know. We played a gig last night in an old pub in the back end of Essex. The pub was a typical small oldie pub, wooden beams on the ceiling etc. We sound checked and my amp seemed really quiet. I changed all the leads and it still sounded much quieter than usual. Then when we came on to start the first set it was back up to it's usual volume. Everything was fine and then a couple of songs in the volume started dipping again. This carried on through the whole set with the volume dipping every now and again. I'm really hoping it's not a fault with my amp or cab and I won't get a chance to try it again till the end of the week. So I was hoping that such an old building, with equally old electrics, may cause this problem. Baring in mind a 4-piece band would be drawing a massive amount of electricity compared to the old T.V in the corner, is there a possibility that this was the cause of the problem. Is it possible that dodgy electrics could have caused this problem??? Thanks in advance guys

Bought a VT Bass pedal from Ivan. Paid him Thursday night and it arrived Saturday morning. The pedal was exactly as described and extremely well packed. Would happily buy from Ivan again.

Looks awesome Rick. If it's even a patch on that '54 Replica Precision you did it will be an absolute gem. Can't wait to see the finished product.

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Hello effects Guru's[/font][/color] Just after a bit of advice for a new pedal, and I don't really have much experience in the way of pedals, but I'll do my best to describe what I'm after. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]What I'm basically looking for is to have the pedal on all the time (rather than an occasional effect) with a very slight overdriven sound. A kind of warmer, tube type slight overdrive (if that makes sense).[/font][/color] I [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]have a Hartke Hydrive rig, and while it's great, it is rather clinical. And while I'd love and Ampeg SVT rig I have neither the space or cash flow to get one.[/font][/color] [font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#282828"]So I'm led to believe the two pedals I've mentioned above are designed to replicate the SVT tube sound. I'm hoping I'm right in thinking this and just wondered if people have any experience of them both and which would suit my needs better (or if there's a completely different pedal I should be considering).[/color][/font] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]So if anyone could suggest me a pedal just to 'warm up' my sound a little it would be greatly appreciated.[/font][/color] [font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#282828"]Many Thanks in advance,[/color][/font]
