Silent Plugs are only available in TS or mono configuration.

It is mainly wired IEM systems. Te Behringer ones are OK, but some are not. TRS to XLR should be OK.

I bought the CQ20 for the extra (XLR) inputs and the built-in power supply.

Be aware that some IEM systems only have stereo on the XLR part of the combi input. It is not available on TRS.

The Rebbels are playing a pub Festival at the Swan in Stalbridge, near Sturminster Newton, Dorset. We played the pub last year and were invited back for the Festival. We were expecting a full FoH and sound tech but it appears there are two bands on two stages and we need to use our own PA. We are not even on the poster ! https://www.facebook.com/share/1AHNsDR6zk/?mibextid=wwXIfr I will post pics an reports on the “last night” thread.

Ampeg were a great company but time. and tech moves on. I never got the Ampeg Bug although I loved Trace Gear. I think Peavey have honoured the Trace legacy despite my initial fears. Like Trace, Ampeg have limped from owner to owner with none really taking tha brand seriously. Portaflex was a disaster, it took almost ten PF500 iterations before the amps were right, meaning you cannot trust them. I don’t think Trace ever had such a problem but the name of Ampeg went from top dog to has been rapidly and are now a brand rather than a make.

Stunning!

I agree and would add Sade to that short list.

Listening to. “The Covid Enquiry”. Cannot wait for their second album.

The Ampeg sound may be revered but the looks made the Linear Concord look good. The cab looks OK but the head looks like it was built from someone’s parts box. Of course beauty or sexiness is in the eye of the beholder.

The BLX130 is the one amp I regret selling and I sold it because,,,, I could not find the extension cabinet.

I think there are enough springs to change them all. However I would try the bad one first and cry for help needed.

Just about to post these but thought I would take a look. They are much smaller than I imagined. They have sent you a few. You should be able to fit them but if not, the offer still stands.

I have had real trouble with a TC Mic Mechanic alongside a Zoom B2 Four, On the same power lines there is a high pitched wine (Chateau Neuf Du Pape?). I had the same problem with the B1 Four and the Mic Mechanic. I must get the 'scope out and see whether the Mic Mechanic puts noise the powerline.

Do you have any problems with noise? I often find that using a digital pedal on that same supply as analogue pedals can induce noise on the power lines.

A lesson I learnt many years ago.

Fundamentslly, I agree with @neepheid, however I will add some context. I have played 5 string bass and lined the ability to go low onto the N string, rarely if ever venturing below the D on the 3rd fret. However I am happier on a 4. I once watched a YouTube video on the art of Rhythm Guitar. It was, as usual, 20 minutes to explain a simple idea but the gist of the matter is that Rhythm Guitarist should avoid the E and even A strings (assuming standard EADGBE tuning) when playing chords, so as to leave that sonic area for the bassists. All makes sense if you have played with a rhythm guitarist that insists on strumming all 6 strings. On that basis it makes sense to keep away from the guitarists spectrum, so the C string is well into Guitard’s area. Or this way be madness..,.

I think those are called guitars.

Guess what came in the post today?

The sound is great, how did you mic up the drums? That singer is also great, bass sounded OK (great really).

Guitarist!

As far as I know? Ashdown use Sica drivers, sometimes rebadged as Ashdown. Sometimes left with the Sica branding.

Slight update. The addition parts and wires have now been secured using a cool glue gun.

Looking at the current board it suits the Zoom B1 Four pus other pedals in a line. It will take the B2 Four but only if one of the other pedals is sideways. Looks like I will be making another one, taking account of all the lessons* of this one. It may be longer or add another cross beam, I will leave that until this one is finished. I have a gig on Saturday so I need to get a move on. Some of you will have seen that I am making an onboard Power Supply for this pedal board. That is progressing well. Of course there have been issues* but the latest iteration dies not semi to add any noise to the pedals I have. The material used for the top panel is strong enough but is really hard to work. Back to good old aluminium for the next one.
