Bigwan

[quote name='DiMarco' timestamp='1484131313' post='3212852'] Its marketing. [/quote] Yes and no. It's intelligent compared to other footswitches as it uses a standard guitar cable to send specific signals for the microcontroller in the amp to interpret. Not sure what makes it SUPER intelligent though...

[quote name='markstuk' timestamp='1484061426' post='3212316'] You do have the best crisps though :-) [/quote] This cannot be denied...

How come this sort of thing can't happen closer to me?!!!

No xlr out and only a single page of settings (4 parameters) per effect it would seem, and that's just from a cursory glance. DEFINITELY Not an upgrade in my book. Not saying it won't be good though! Edit: only 5 amp models... Guitar version is £140ish

Beyma looks pretty good too.

I've had a quick go with winISD just now. Not entirely sure I'm using it correctly. I've put in the TS parameters for the BP1525, the Deltalite 12 and the deltalite 10 and modelled the 15 sealed next the 12 sealed and vented and the 10 vented. The 12 vented gives a similar drop off to the sealed 15, but without the boost in the 120Hz region. But looking at the SPL chart it would seem the 12 would be a better bet... Would that sound about right? I'll try the Beyma SM212 now

[quote name='Phil Starr' timestamp='1483952317' post='3211279'] I'd assumed Bigwan got the idea from the Eminence site. You can see what the bass response would be from the Eminence modelling. There are certainly cabs out there with this sort of response you might like it, you might not. Celestion will send you the TS parameters for their speakers usually if you email them, use the ask Dr Decibel service on their site. If it's something they only ever made for Ashdown you may need to go to Ashdown for the info though. I'd think about whether to look at other speakers at a similar price though, it's at the top end of what you could squeeze into a box that size and it might be that another 10 or a 12 would give you more sensitivity without the loss of bass. The Eminence Deltalite 12 is a similar price for example and would match your cab well. [/quote] That's a good call Phil. I should really have asked what the best replacement driver would be for the given volume of cab I suppose, but I just had that driver in my head at the time! That Deltalite 12 does look pretty good.

[quote name='Balcro' timestamp='1483923921' post='3211211'] Looks like you'll get there, but more by luck than judgement! See here, [url="http://www.eminence.com/pdf/Legend_BP1525_cab.pdf"]http://www.eminence...._BP1525_cab.pdf[/url] and scroll down to pages 19-21. It's loud, but.... Balcro. [/quote] Yeah I'd seen that - that's the doc that initially got me thinking about this. I might suck it and see... As Phil suggests I could build another cab if the combo proves too bass shy - Kringle77 on that other bass forum has built a pair of cabs using these and a sealed 6" midrange driver that I'd be interested in trying out too.

Can't find TS parameters for the Celestion, Bill. Modelling the BP1525 would tell me what I already know, it won't do LOW, but if it did low enough (i.e.the same as the current speaker does) but louder I'd be happy.

I took combo dims and took off 1.5" from width, 3" from depth and 5" from height which left me with 1.728 cut ft, but when you account for the volume of the eminence it'd probably be down there right enough!

I'm having one of my crazy ideas again. I have an Ashdown ABM C110, loaded with a celestion bg10-150. Sounds fine at low volumes, but isn't going to set the world alight on its own. I've been considering replacing the speaker for years, and while perusing the eminence site the other day I noticed that the box volume (about 1.7 cu ft) would just suit the Eminence BP1525 if it were sealed. It wouldn't offer a particularly deep low end, or a particularly extended high end for that matter, but I'm after out and out volume from the combo at this point. Thoughts? Have I gone mad

I'll plug my fav dirt pedal, the Ashdown Lomenzo Hyperdrive. Great job!

[quote name='Burrito' timestamp='1482923342' post='3203507'] My very modest effort... [url="http://s38.photobucket.com/user/Tim_73/media/PedalBoard_zps3jgp7yfh.jpg.html"][/url] [/quote] Modest? Perhaps in the number of pedals, but not in appearance! That's pretty rockin'!

I like the look of the handbox stuff, especially the all valve ones that have been mentioned on here (but they don't seem to be actually making any of them at the minute). Of the other stuff mentioned I've had the Orange Terror and the Walkabout. I think the Orange was the better fit for what you're after. A little more unruly... And oh so LOUD...

Excellent basses as standard. Amazing neck. Mine had Bart mk1 pickups and upgraded NTMB pre. Easily better than most £1k+ basses and buried both the EB 5 strings I'd owned.

[quote name='LewisK1975' timestamp='1481732648' post='3194664'] Yep - Stingrays for me. Up til the last couple of years, I'd primarily played with a pick, and they never seemed to really work for me. Tried 3 of them. Now I play almost exclusively with fingers, and really think I should give them another go... [/quote] Don't do it! Bloody awful things... Took 4 EBs for me to realise it

The TC is a bit of an oddball though - dead simple on the face of it, but dig into the background and it's stupidly flexible. I quite liked the Carl Martin Classic Optical comp I had a while back. The Budda Chakra is apparently the same pedal. I should say I usually hate compression - this and the 3leaf PWNZOR are the only ones I've used that I've liked, but I've gone back to not using any at the minute.

Nice! The RW J I had was good enough to knock my Lakland J off its "keeper" perch. Great, great basses. I'll a 'burst RW P some day...

Always laugh when I see somebody say "only 100 watts"... Speaking of Ashdown, what about a CTM100? 19kgs

Interested to see how you get on Owen!
