Just bought a preamp from @Brian45: fair price, great comms and very well packaged. Thanks

Selling this lovely Ashdown. It's been a tricky decision to part with this one but I am not using this (barely ever have) and can't see it happening now, so it might as well go to a new home. This combo is from the UK custom shop. Nice amp if you like Ashdown ABM features but not the weight. Features a SICA neo driver and an Eminence APT80 for the horn. I lined it with wadding which made a subtle improvement and also added a proper crossover for the tweeter. It honestly sounds really nice, it is a very good tweeter - the same that Barefaced use on the One10T. Price is now £350 plus delivery -

Pumpernickle Compressor by Schalltechnik04
funkydoug replied to funkydoug's topic in Effects For Sale
Sold pending payment. That was quick! -
Bought this on basschat last year. Not using it. Works well, no issues. All lights and knobs are working. Powered it up and gave a test just now and all is good. I just don't need it. I found it to be very clean, uncoloured compressor. There is a good Ovnifx review for anyone interested in such geekery. £70 including UK postage.

Brilliant thanks @paul_5. Makes perfect sense, much appreciated mate.

No reply from Ashdown... I assume it would be an easy enough mod for a local amp tech ?? Ideally add a dial or a switch to make it adjustable, or even just an on off switch. Anyone??

link to the G3n v2.0 firmware below ... no sign of the MS70 yet. The webarchive used here doesn't seem to have the MS70 for some reason unfortunately - at least I haven't found it yet https://web.archive.org/web/20181022055543/https://www.zoom.co.jp/sites/default/files/products/downloads/software/G3n_v2.00_Win_E_0.zip

It's not a bad bump to have. Our ears are much better at hearing stuff in that range than in the lows, so that bump helps bass cut through in a mix. Sansamp VT pedals call it 'bite' I think. Not everyone loves it, but then again not everyone loves salt on their chips...
-
Mine was for the G3n rather than MS70. Pretty sure they're different Firmware. I'll have a look and see if I can find yours but can't promise!
-
I don't have the MS70 but my experience with the G3n - if it helps- was that the 2.1 firmware did indeed prevent any of this working. I had to download and install the older firmware 2.0 and then it worked no problem. I was able to install any of the effects from the latest firmware though, by using the Firmware Editor to extract them from firmware 2.1 and then insert them into firmware 2.0 and save that as a modified v2.0 firmware which continues to work flawlessly.

Interesting experiment, bet it was great fun. It's not a fair fight though if you're wanting to compare amp types (as you conclude). The Hexavalve Vs TC RH750 is full fat Ferrari Vs a Ford with all kinds of engine efficiency management going on. I'm as big a TE fan as the next guy but compare the Hexavalve with an absolutely premium Class D head (Mesa TT) and you'd be in for a clash of the titans.
-
The emerging consensus is that both of these pedals are ace, but they should get together and have a kid which would inherit their HPF, notch filter, dual channel EQ, compression, tuner, dirt, fx loops and DI outs. come on EBS ... you know you want to

Sold elsewhere

Brilliant, thanks for that. I knew BFM does the airheads but not Greenboy. Will check that out, and LDS too. Thanks @Jack

The main advantage of rack format for me is the interoperability. It was/is a 'standard' that designers built for so that things could be swapped, interchanged, combined. In the case of my original post, I like the idea of having a combo in which the head can die and the combo can survive (just choose a new head) without the whole thing needing to be scrapped. Triggers broom comes to mind...
-
Thanks guys. I guess the sheer size and weight of the combos mentioned here is part of the answer, in a market looking for small and light. It seems a shame that we're moving away from this kind of interoperability. It also seems a shame that a new standard for a smaller / micro form factor isn't emerging, as far as I know.

Are we aware of any bass combos that use an interchangeable 19inch rack head? I think Orange use this format for their more powerful combos but I'm at a loss as to why this is not a more common format. Unless of course we imagine a world in which manufacturers want us to buy more of their stuff rather than make things that can play with others... Ashdown ABM combos do seem to use heads that can be swapped with others from the same range (ABM heads are interchangeable between combos if they've come from a combo or are in a wooden amp case) but that's not quite an 'open' design. I'm also aware that BFM offers an airhead version of some of his cab designs, which I've been sorely tempted to try. Would be interested to hear if anyone knows of combos that have this kind of design or if there are good reasons for it not being commonly used. To my mind it makes a lot of sense in that if the amp dies, or your tastes change ,you can swap it for another. Any thoughts?

Hi, Does anyone know if a switch could be added to turn off the tweeter on these combos? Apologies if this is a brain-dead question! Not sure what if any complications there'd by if a simple breaker was wired? I'm interested in getting one but would prefer to have such an option. Thanks in advance Doug.
