[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1385463157' post='2288472'] The 9.2 is the usual Genz Shuttle tone, which is tight, bright and clear. It will get much fuller if you engage the variable low boost which lowers the HPF...drop the hi mids to taste as well. [/quote] At last night's rehearsal, I played around a bit more with the high mids and ended up with a lovely tone. I'm loving the shuttle! (The band in the next room was making a right ruckus - a bunch of deviants known as Dick Venom and the Terrortones ;-) Popped in to say hello to BRX, the Warwick Star looks great!)

[quote name='woodyratm' timestamp='1385715924' post='2291364'] Xero worth the wait? I've got a Pitchfactor and VT Bass deluxe on the way (if the seller hasn't tried to con me.. annnnd once I pick up the VT from Houston. UPS screwed up ¬_¬ ) [/quote] Well worth the wait! It's quite an unwieldy beast and takes a bit of taming, but I'm loving the fat dub! Controlling the self oscillation will take a bit more practice! You've got some exciting stuff coming. Hope it gets to you soon :-)

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1385659850' post='2290848'] Is this what you're looking for in the bub sound? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_nbYWMZRXU"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_nbYWMZRXU[/url] ... but I may be wrong [/quote] That's very different to what I was thinking. I think we need more clarification :-)

I have a sealed 6x10. I wouldn't say that it changes the tone, rather the attack, or transient response. Punchy is a good description. Ported cabs have more bass response, but I happily play dub and reggae on mine, and believe me, it has as much low end as you could want, if required. I don't know why (I'm sure someone on here could explain) but a sealed cab seems to be an especially good match with a valve head.

[quote name='0175westwood29' timestamp='1385664272' post='2290929'] do you use the mastotron and xero at the same time? as they look very close? andy [/quote] Yes, they are deliberately close together as I need to activate both with one stomp. The fuzz into the EP-controlled LPF gives some really lovely synthy sweeps and wobbles. I also use the LPF solo, but it's pretty easy to turn on by itself, I just need to make sure I have narrow shoes on :-D

The Bill Laswell stuff that I know doesn't have the filter sweep that an envelope filter provides. I'd say it's more of a static low pass filter, with the cutoff frequency pretty low. The Moogerfooger MF101 of Iron Ether Xerograph might be worth a look. Or maybe you're referring to Bill Laswell stuff that I'm not familiar with - a link would help

[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1385652731' post='2290723'] Could we have the "follow/unfollow topic" buttons shown on the mobile version please ? [/quote] I should probably know this, but what does the 'follow' button actually do? I'm guessing that it should notify you when there has been a new addition to the thread, but I've tried it and it didn't do that

For the first time ever, I have more than one pedal, so I thought I'd make a mini board:

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1385571948' post='2289810'] Depending on context, though..? Examples... "I am stood upon regularly by my dancing partner..." "I was sat at the back by the usher, there being more space..." "I was stood up at my very first date..! "I was sat on the stool by a very tall man, being too short myself, at 3 years old..." No..? [/quote] Quite right sir, if used in the passive sense as you have illustrated. My beef, and I should have been more specific, is when used in the active sense; they themselves caused the sitting or standing to happen. Every day I hear something like: "I'm sat here on the train...." or "They were stood at the bar, when suddenly...." It's like saying "Everyone was danced when suddenly the music stopped" Even BBC presenters are stood there saying it ;-)

Where did you get the 130db figure for the S12? That's jet engine territory :-D

[quote name='DiMarco' timestamp='1385478472' post='2288696'] Might look nice, but it is not a Dolphin anymore that way. [/quote] Bonus

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1385463157' post='2288472'] The 9.2 is the usual Genz Shuttle tone, which is tight, bright and clear. It will get much fuller if you engage the variable low boost which lowers the HPF...drop the hi mids to taste as well. [/quote] Thanks for that. Strangely enough, I liked the tight low end sound when engaging the mid scoop preset, but then dialling out the treble is difficult. I thought that the low boost sounded a bit muddier, I didn't know that that lowers the HPF cutoff. I'll keep playing, thanks.

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1385381342' post='2287480'] I had a Shuttle 3 and traded it for a Shuttle 6, both reminded me of wasps trapped inside a bottle. [/quote] My 9.2 will take a bit of getting used to. I bought it for deep, clean low tones, but with the treble all the way down on both bass and amp, it's still a bit too bright! Still plenty of time to fiddle though...

I've had a look and only have spalted with a bit of flame (bizarrely, left over from a shoe cabinet I made) probably not the best for what you need. Nugget to the rescue!

I might have a few knocking about. I'll check tomorrow.

Correct: I'm standing.. I'm sitting.. I was standing.. I was sitting.. Incorrect: I am stood.. I am sat.. I was stood.. I was sat..

I listened to My Sharona. Is it me, or does the guitar come in late, then make another cock up soon after? I'm afraid the backing vocals sound bad on that song. Nice bass playing and tone though :-)

It would be much nicer if you rounded over that annoying point on the bottom of the bass

[quote name='redstriper' timestamp='1385377245' post='2287429'] yip all recorded and mixed at home on the cheap - who needs studios these days I like your stuff too, maybe we can do a gig together some time. [/quote] That would be great. I'll PM to see what can be done

Really really difficult choice this month. Well done everyone

Just some more thoughts a year on. - don't be fooled by the fact that it's a sealed cab - this thing has enough low end (if you want it) to do any full on dub gig. - I've recently been favouring a clean, deep sound for some dub numbers, and got a Shuttle 9.2 to play with. Through the '69er, this extremely transparent amp shows up that 'coloured' aspect that the '69er has. When I'm playing very deep, very clean tones, you can hear a small amount of speaker distortion, which I'm pretty sure is coming from the top left driver, doing its job as designed. I think that you'll never get ultra-clean tones from this cab, but that was pretty much understood from the beginning.

Gave the amp a facelift to match the '69er https://www.dropbox.com/s/nfsmcddgzdctj1m/aamp.JPG

An improvement for sure, a bit ACG
