I have a mixer, which has insert points on every channel. I want to be able to use them as direct outputs. I tried last night with mono jacks, hoping that would work, but no. So, I have to use stereo leads, which is fine, but will that cut the signal to the main channel then? Someone must make a lead for this situation, any ideas?

I really wanted to try the boss wah on bass. I heard it do some amazing things on guitar. I use a Wah Probe, but I use it in a blender.

I manage to make two very different basses sound similar through the same effects rig, which makes neither sound much like a bass. So yeh, if I were looking for a new bass, tone would not be the first priority.

Thanks, i'll just buy one and hope

I know in principle you don't want to change the ouput of the GB, but if you got it down to match the jazz, you could then adjust your filters to match the new gain level. Then when the jass is plugged in it should be OK. It seems like Silent Fly might make you a totally clean boost anyway...?

Any EQ pedal should be fairly flat (if you don't touch the faders) also an LS-2 or similar would be fine. Maybe just wait for something cheap to come up.

If you want to use multiple pre-amps, then you have to split your signal before the pre-amps, unless you want one to (over)drive another. If you just want more power, use the amp with the pre you like best, then run a line from the FX send to the FX return on the other amp.

Thanks. Any more opinions? Maybe I can get a PSU cheap.

Most of my sounds worked for both, but I use a LOT of compression.

It's probably still under warrantee. If it's that young, that's what i'd do. Does it have an effects loop? If so you could monitor the FX send to see if it's the pre-amp, and you could feed the FX return from your pedal to see if it's the power amp. Other than that no idea (i'm only in here to see if my thread got replies!).

Basically, some wrotter who last moved my nice presonous pre-amp with PSU plugged in managed to pull the wires out of the plug a bit, shorting them, which I didn't notice before I plugged it in. No reaction from the pre-amp but the PSU stank and was very warm. I don't want to mess about trying to repair the PSU but I don't have anything else to provide that sort of power. Will the pre-amp be fine? If so, i'll buy a PSU.

Maybe you could get the same pre-amp from your GB to put in your jazz?

yeh if a pedal is fine with a loud bass, and not fine with a quite bass, then sticking a booster before the pedal should even out the difference.

If all you need is extra gain, and you put the micro amp before your filters, yeh it will help.

[quote name='umph' post='726862' date='Jan 27 2010, 08:49 PM']are you handy with a soldering iron? i'm thinking of doing a DIY thread for a blend pedal, they're extremely simple![/quote] Please do!!!

I'm confused. You should only really be using one sound card, so use the SB. The problem is that you have a front panel for the SB and the mic input doesn't work? Do you have the SB software installed? They give you a mixer where you should be able to see the mic level. EDIT: But it works on the back, so that's not the problem. Perhaps a dodgy connection then. It might be worth just getting an extention to plug in round the back. Better yet, get a decent pre-amp to plug your mic into, then plug that into the SB line in.

I looked at the link, that seems pretty amazing! I can't wait to see what it looks like.

What's the new one OG? That looks weird.

Would a heavy drape have to cover the whole room, or just the area we're using? Would duvets be appropriate? Thanks for all the help guys.

Thanks! Is gobo just another word for rectangular box? Would cardboard boxes stuffed with rock wool have the same effect?
