Remember to try use line in on the interface to bypass the pre-amps

Ok, so at my rehearsal room's they have little Laney bass half stacks, while the guitarist get nice highend Marshall stacks. Instead of using their amp due to me thinking it sounded horrible(quiet and muddy really) I wacked in my OTB... Everything got louder as I expected being the OTB seems super loud and all the mids and higher-end stuff came alive. Only problem is there was SO much bass.. I literally dialed the bass off fully on my guitar(schecter) and on the amp now on my SWR at home this ends up turning into a Clangy mess like a fender strat ... But to my surprise it made no difference what so ever with this cab!!!! (same with mids and treble but, they were fine) Just wondering is that the difference between a decent cab and a lower end one? As it seems whatever eq I set I just got a big wall of bass. Anyone else used one and found the same problem? If it's me doing something wrong let me know!! My first amp cab has been the OTB and SWR Goliath so I don't have much experience outside that a markbass 15" cabs and an ashdown 8x10!! Not to put Laney down but I was massively unimpressed with their cabs and going to go to a diff rehersal studio that has nice markbass cabs (:

I'm in a metalcore band.. 2 guitarst loud drummer + Vocalist.. I'm using a SWR Goliath 4x10 + Terror Bass 500 and crank it to FULL apart from gain as it sounds too well gainy haha when we practice/gig..

PMT easily the best in birmingham but take the short trip to leamington for bass stuff =D

I can show you cocktails I make as im a mixologist.. but doesnt really apply to what we are talking about.

The screws on mine were incredibly tight. In the end I had to lay the amp down, use a socket set with a foot-long extension and apply all my weight… that did it. Just! One more idea, especially if anybody chooses to use secondhand replacement valves (though I used a new Sovtek for V2 I robbed a lovely General Electric 12AX7 from my Fender amp for V1). On removing the Chinese originals, lightly press the nine pins into a soft surface (eg plasticine) and check that the pins on your replacement line up perfectly before inserting. If not, tweak them carefully into shape with needle-nose pliers. Bending the connections on the TB500's valve holders may (*probably will*) necessitate entire circuit board replacement!! I bought this 80mm PC fan – [url="http://www.quietpc.com/gb-en-gbp/products/casefans/x-rw-80r"]http://www.quietpc.com/gb-en-gbp/products/casefans/x-rw-80r[/url] - to reduce noise but my tech advised that at 19CFM it didn't push as much air as the original so we left the old one in place. A 30CFM fan would be better.[/quote] No offence but you're techs a noob, what cools it is static pressure rather than cfm, and most cfm are lying anyways
