[quote name='simwells' timestamp='1333032988' post='1596525'] Been rearranging my board a bit today, ... [/quote] What's going on here ?

[quote name='darren' timestamp='1332598248' post='1590500'] I remember the guy in the shop saying it was called electric blue. Not sure if he was making it up though. [/quote] May or may not be what Fender call it but that's what I'd call electric blue.

[quote name='dudewheresmybass' timestamp='1332190753' post='1584661'] As its parametric, I couldn't define frequency without an oscilloscope! It's definitely just up from the very low mids [/quote] From the manual at [url="http://ews-us.com/pdf/BMC_manual_eng.pdf"]http://ews-us.com/pdf/BMC_manual_eng.pdf[/url] 7 o’clock : 120Hz 9 o’clock : 160Hz 11 o’clock : 500Hz 12 o’clock : 630Hz 1 o’clock : 800Hz 3 o’clock : 2KHz 5 o’clock : 3KHz If it's "lo-mids" it looks like my reading of 2:00 from your pic was some way off.

[quote name='dudewheresmybass' timestamp='1332150925' post='1583821'] As yet, I've not tried it with an active with a mid control, but I do find it can really add emphasis to the envelope filter. [/quote] Interesting .... is it a high-mid boost that make it work well with the EF ? Looks like frequency is at maybe 2:00 on the pic, I think.

[quote name='dudewheresmybass' timestamp='1331945722' post='1581422'] This is the board for m function band. [/quote] How are you finding the BMC ? I'm pondering one, but I'm thinking they're more aimed at passive basses, and for active (with mid knob) they don't add so much.

Is that a re-finned DeArmond Starfire I see ?

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1331199887' post='1569153'] I was expecting to see Gabe Roth on bass, but instead it was a girl introduced as 'Foxy H' or something. She looked pretty cool in a school uniform getup (not in a saucy way) playing her modified P Bass through an Ampeg 8x10 rig. Again, solid and supportive rather than flashy - perfect for that band. Highly recommended. [/quote] Same story last year at the Roundhouse (same girl on Bass I think) ... maybe Gabe Roth doesn't like travelling ?

Hmmm interesting. I'd like to know if it lives up to this: [quote] Whether sitting, standing, close or far field; the sound is the same.[/quote] In a live setting.

[quote name='Alex Spencer' timestamp='1330867458' post='1563974'] I was round a friends using a Tech21 SansAmp Pre-Amp > Electro Harmonix 22 Caliber Power Amp > Trace Elliot 4x12, ... Definitely thinking about investing in an Electro Harmonix 22 Caliber Power Amp though. Pocket sized, fantastic if you need a small rig to take to practise or a small gig and don't want to lug your rack around. [/quote] For a 22 watt amp to be appropriate it would need to be a very quiet gig wouldn't it ? I know I've played small venues with a 90-watt amp (GK MB150) and sometimes struggled a bit, and I once played a blues jam that povided a 50-watt amp and swore never again. I know speaker efficiency has to be taken into account, but still, I'd have thought that 22 watts was just not up to the job of anything including a drummer ... might work with acoustic guitars, I guess ?

[quote name='Pete Academy' timestamp='1330803705' post='1563302'] f***ing hell, what a track! [/quote] Good, innit ?

Actually, listening to that again, it's no contest. Haggis Horns it is. And I'll try not do what I did with Trombone Shorty last night ... miss the gig through it being sold out. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dj4rHy7dp5U[/media]

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1330772677' post='1562714'] Very excited, going to see Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings on Wednesday with Mrs RR for our anniversary [/quote] For me it would be Friday on London. Trouble is, the Haggis Horns have a gig on the same date and I'm going to find that hard to resist [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSs1FKz_oIQ[/media]

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1330725782' post='1562371'] Can of worms [/quote] Too right

[quote name='1976fenderhead' timestamp='1330722810' post='1562331'] When you use an LFO to create auto-wah, the LFO is moving the focus of the filter up and down - the LFO is acting on the filter, NOT on the wave. Same as your foot on the wah. When you use an LFO to create flanger, phaser etc, the shape of the wave created by the LFO adds to the carrier wave creating a new wave shape. The LFO is acting on the carrier wave directly. That's modulation - the alteration of a periodic waveform by influence of another. Modulation and alteration or modification are not synonyms. [/quote] Not quite sure where you're headed with this ... maybe it's a more precise definition in the realms of electronics or physics. But if we're going for something precise, the wave shape [b]would[/b] get altered by any wah (manual, enveloped, or LFO'd). It would vary between a complex waveform and a simple sine-wave when nearly closed. A phaser is (I think I'm right, correct me if I'm wrong) a comb filter where the notches' movement (the notch frequencies) are driven by an LFO, which is not really that different in principle to a wah (a resonant filter) where the peak frequency is altered by an LFO. I think I was actually trying to say something much simpler ... something that's as good as we need as musicians. Essentially, If it wobbles, it's modulation. Is that good enough ? Andy

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1330700147' post='1561847'] Wah is a modulation! Depending on what you have, I'd assume its a band pass filter controlled by expression pedal... :-) LFO's and the like can take some real exploration so I thought I'd work on a run down of all the 'basic' styles of modulation and LFO's and how they react to low frequencies etc with some listening examples... Gimme a week! [/quote] [quote name='1976fenderhead' timestamp='1330712816' post='1562133'] er isn't wah a filter? [/quote] Wah isn't usually classed as modulation, but I suppose that between an auto-wah driven by an LFO, and a phaser/chorus/flanger/tremolo (driven by an LFO) ... well, it's hard to argue they're a different class of effect. Andy

[quote name='pnts' timestamp='1329299296' post='1540116'] Anyone tried it with bass? [/quote] Not me, but I too want to hear from someone who has Andy

[quote name='Al Heeley' timestamp='1330359333' post='1556182'] That is brilliant! Thank god we don't have to earn a living trying to sell stuff in chinese.... [/quote] Funnily enough I made the same assumption about the seller ... when I checked, turned out he (or she) was russian.

Enjoy [quote] Hand made Its tasck is fine tuning of the sound timbre coloration. Some examples of using Suppose you are fully sutisfied with the sound of your musical instrument but you would like to have it brighter to sound in mix but not to bulge in volume Add some boost in range 3 kHz with wide Q Acoustics of the room makes the sound of your instrument chanting. This effect can be minimize by cutting low (200 Hz - 400 Hz) or low mid (450 HZ - 600 Hz) with middle Q. If sound of your guitar is disappearing among other instruments Add high mid instead of adding volume to prevent hammer in other instruments Speaker simulation: If you have to play in a line for some reason you may easy to set emulation Cab+mic using the parametric. Just turn the regulation correct to receive sound of any speaker simulators as well as to modulate any pair cab+mic. Cut a little bit (1/3) 250 Hz at mid close to low. rise a little (apr on 1/4) 3 HZ at mid Q Preamp: Use as "warmer" Plug Parametric EQ first in a chain of effects, set timbre and you get nice booster. To wide your staff possibility: Personal regulator of timbre that is always with you Plug the device into loop effects of amp and ... well, you get it. [/quote] errr, not sure I do get it ...

[quote name='harvey1-8' timestamp='1329994857' post='1550905'] xgsjx is right, George L's. Although I'm considering swapping to these: [/quote] I use these sometimes, but I've been advised against them on a certain US forum. [quote] [color=#000000][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]the fact that those don't flex means when your foot moves the pedal, the jack is what has to flex--so the jacks will quickly get ruined.[/font][/color] [/quote] I'm working towards a proper pedalboard using 'pancake' jacks ... they seem to be the lowest profile thing you can get.

Has this been on here before ? Worth hearing again anyway. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc_QFGzTl7g[/media]

Still got the problem ... no news from IPB yet ?

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1328874978' post='1534076'] We will have filters to enable searches for different types and also a gallery view. [/quote] If tags were actually working as links then this problem might be halfway solved. Click on the tag link for fretless, 5string etc, and try and get people to put up a tag for the brand-name. In fact, even if you have a tailored system for separating out 4-strings from every else (etc), a working system system of tag links would nicely supplement that. Andy
