How do you find the DHA distortion? What kinds of tone and sounds do you get out of it? Can it be really subtle and then all out fuzzy?

The Bugbrand Weeviliser Extreme, sounds like i wicked pedal. Have you got any sound clips? Which pedal is it on the board? Cheers

Wow that Precision is gorgeous, the best finish and colour i have seen.

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='57713' date='Sep 9 2007, 01:27 PM']Do not run 2 x 8 ohm speakers from your amp with the selector on 8 ohms! It doesn't matter if they are daisy chained or run from separate outputs, if you are using 2 x 8ohm cabs it must be on 4 ohms. Take some time to read the info supplied as stickies on this forum.[/quote] Cool cheers mate. Ill have a read.

Wow thanks for the great replies and information. So with my valve amp, should i change the impediance selector to 8ohms and run a seperate cable out of the amp to the seperate speakers? I dont like the sound of the very expensive output transformer breaking.

Here is a pic of the blemishes on the valves. [attachment=2152:Photo_0316.jpg] Im sure the fan is working. The impedance slider is also set to 4ohms too. Ill need to get another cable to have the speakers comming from a different output. Thanks again for all the advice!

Hi, it already has a fan installed so that cools it a little. I wire my cabs like this; head, speaker cable, cab, speaker cable, cab. Is 4ohms the correct ohmage i should have it on? It gets very hot, the valves themselves have blemishes where the heat has been on them. I didnt touch the metal of the amp but i put my hands over the front and rear vents and the heat coming from them was hot enough to cause me some concern. Now this may be all normal with valve amps but because i have had zero experience with them, i need telling. Thanks for the advice already given.

I know but it sounds mental! Synth player can handle the low end while i experiment!

Hi, Im new to valve amps and im concerned about the amount of heat im getting from my new Ampeg V4B. It might just be my inexperience but its getting very hot at gigging volume. Even a slight burning smell. Iv checked that the power supply is correct so its not that . I have also cleaned the inside out so i know the dust is not burning. Could i have the impedance switch set to the wrong one? Its currently at 4ohms running two 8ohm cabs in series. Any light that could be shed would be very much appreciated. Cheers

I like using my unibass with the solo button engaged. Mix it with a bit of delay, pitchshift and fuzz. Makes a totally unnatural sound but its a nice little flavour to add to a song. I owned a DI aswell for a while. It was amazing, the best synth pedal i have used, but i sold it to buy another bass.

Here is an update to my rig. [attachment=2139:Photo_0314.jpg] Summer jobs rule!!!

[quote name='dutchwife' post='49909' date='Aug 24 2007, 04:55 AM']Alright chaps, thought I'd stick my box of tricks in for good measure. 'scuse the tarty case; the one I had before was custom made in the States & had room for close to 30 pedals (I was playing in a duo with a drummer-that's my excuse & I'm sticking with it!). Still fairly flexible, sometimes swap out one of the delays for an EBS Dynaverb, the Bassiq sometimes loses out to a Boss FT-2 & the Multidrive does shiftwork with a MetalZone from time to time. The SYB-3 is not through choice, the guitarist I'm touring with now insisted on it being included. Kind of nice to have everything packaged up up & ready to plug & play. Also amazed to see the number of Deep Impact pedals being used in the UK. Must have been popular over there too. By the way, thanks, this post is an education! Hadn't heard of some of the toys you're using so I'm going hunting on the weekend. Oh, and sorry if the photo sucks but it's easier to get a useful sound from the SYB than it is to get a good pic from my camera. Cheers, Spark [attachment=1917:IMG_0045.jpg][/quote] Two synth pedals... i like it!!!

If you want them the easiest thing would be to send me a stamped addressed envelope and I'll get them straight off to you. If they suit, PM me and I'll supply my address.[/quote] Sorry mate but they are a bit to thick for me, if they was 125 i would use them to tune to C*. cheers

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='44135' date='Aug 11 2007, 10:31 AM']Cheers for the heads up. I've just purchased a batch, even though I don't play 5 string! For the cost of postage does anyone want the spare B strings (x3) out of these sets when they arrive?[/quote] Ill have them depending on what gauge they are please. Cheers

Im 19 so do i count as a teen? Been playing 6 years too. [attachment=1634:Photo_0274.jpg] I love my bass so much.

Wow what a great bass Alpha Dave. Can you post some pics of it up against you so i can get a feel of its size, i cant seem to visualise how big it is.

WOW!!! would defiantly get a white one to match my black if they did it in five sting.

Yeah they do make custom boards. They can make a flight case style board for a good price, around £160 for a showman size board i think they quoted me?
