Used mine last night for the first time with the band at rehearsal.......at volume . At the moment lm using just the presets to get used to the box . Went through quite a few of the presets and immediately noticed the difference in sound at a volume , compared to bedroom level . I settled on 80's studio , very over compressed at bedroom level , but l found it great in band situation . Quality of sound ( IMHO ) far, far better than the b3n . For a 75 year old , things ain't half improved over the years . Now back to the box , to learn how to tweek it , to get it even better .

Ran the Ashdown Retroglide now for three days bedroom level ( not continuous playing ! ) but longest about two and a half hours with the fan switched off , did not even get warm . Nice not having the noise .

Added an on /off switch for the fan after talking to Dave Green at Ashdown , who informed me that there is also a thermal cut out in the unit . So if the amp starts to get too hot ( forgetting to turn on the fan at a gig ) it shuts down .

I got in touch with Dave Green at Ashdown ( very helpful man ) about the noise of my Retroglide fan . He suggested that l put a on/off switch for the fan ( off for bedroom usage , on for stage ) saying that the 800W head should not get hot at bedroom level . Pete

Recon I`ve read this somewhere here , but cant seem to find it ............ is there a pitch shifter in the box , where It will down tune my bass to Eb ? Had a look , but cannot seem to find anything . Pete

Hi , Getting notifications , but cant seem to open up and read ? Pete

Looks like my Laney Digbeth Bass Preamp and Zoom MS60B will be going up for sale , cos I`m loving this B6 . Taking a while to sort things out , but with the help from you guys , recon I`m getting there . There is such a lot of quality in this pedal , the sounds are superb , and the layout is well thought out .

I use a Gibson Les Paul Tribute and a 1997 Epiphone Ravoli , going through the B6 now ( input 1 LP input 2 Ravoli ) , into a Messa D800 and two MarkBass 2x10 cabs . Any suggestions how you would set up to use say different amps for each bass, different chorus , flanger , tremolo and auto wah for each bass , effectivly having two completely different set ups that Icould select by just pressing input select button ? Pete

Thanks jimfist , a lot easier than my way .

Its OK guys , Ive found out by trial and error ........... 1) In Guitar Lab , click on Patch at top 2) Right click on the PATCH NAME you want to move , a menu appears 3) Left click on SAVE TO PATCH POOL ( it then appears in PATCH POOL at left of Guitar Lab ) 4) Right click on your saved patch name in PATCH POOL , a menu appears , right click on COPY TO DEVICE 5) Right Click where you want to save it to , a menu appears 6) Right Click READ FROM PATCH POOL There it is , where you want it HOPE THIS IS CLEAR Pete

Does anyone know how to move , say , BANK/PATCH NCY Slap 045 to EMPTY 101 ?

Thanks Guys, 40 seconds to "see it on PC" , and screen not so tempremental now ! Pete

Had about an hour on it , very impressed with sounds . Just a couple of things ( might be me ) 1) on loading to PC to use the editing , takes about 4 minutes each time . 2) touch screen very temperamental, sometimes works one touch , and sometimes two or three . Anyone else have these issues ?

Thanks , will do

Well , after reading all this about the Zoom B6 , I have pressed the button , and it will be here tomorrow .

Hi , Just got a used Tascam GB-10 , same problem .......Factory Reset solved it Pete

Sorry Lozz , I did not realise that Post Office and Royal Mail were different . Are you still using the cab you bought from me ( I cant even remember what it was now ) Pete

Anything for you Lozz......................

Hi All , Anyone had any dealings with the above . I posted an effect pedal to a buyer , did not put a return address on it , or a eCP number , so it was refused in the drop / pick up shop and "returned to sender" . ALL MY FAULT I know ! When there is no return address , the parcel goes to the post office NRC in belfast ! Tried numerous calls , no one seems to answer . looks like its a lesson learned Pete

Still enjoying this pedal ( only at bedroom volume ) but got a rehearsal week Friday , so will hear it a volume. All the controls are so interactive , Got hold of a Zoom MS60B to run in send / return loop just for tuner and one or two effects .
