[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1358853381' post='1945938'] Some recabling still to do and my custom Xerograph needs to sit in place of the Moog LPF when it's back, but aside from that this is what I'll be rocking for the months ahead... Close up right board... Close up left board... Other pics... Housed in a pair of Diago Showman boards - meaning it's the 1st set up I've had in over 18 months that I can carry on my own!! Win! Shep [/quote] nice looking board as always shep,but the grey stache looks out of place i think you best just send that to me! andy

[/quote] exactly as we all know behringer will already be trying to make a copy. andy

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1358791171' post='1945108'] Blimey! Good work! I'll check it out now! Thanks for searching! [/quote] no probs, the only problem is i getting the low rumblings of gas lol andy

[quote name='Osiris' timestamp='1358604074' post='1942045'] Hi folks, I'm thinking of possibly getting a 2nd amplifier to use when gigging in larger venues and want to know the easiest/best/most efficient way of doing so. My current rig consists of a TC Electronic Classic 450 into a 4 ohm Tecamp M212. I also have a Mesa Boogie Walkabout Scout 8 ohm 1 x 12 that is used for rehearsing and smaller gigs. Obviously with the Tecamp being 4 ohm, I can't run a second cab with the TC. What I would like to do, if viable, is to effectively run 2 rigs at a time - with one amp powering the Tec and another powering the Boogie. So my question is, how best to do so? According to the TC manual, I can run a second TC amp by plugging the effects loop out of one into the effects loop return of another. However, what is not clear (to me, at least) is if this will effectively treat the second amp as a slave power amp, meaning that I can only control the volume? i.e. I will have no control over the eq or compressor? Having full control over the second amp is desirable, but probably not essential - I just want to know what the facts are before deciding whether to pursue this idea or not. If I were to run a signal from the effects loop out of one amp into the instrument input of a second, would that work? i.e. would the signal be strong enough or of the correct impedance? (Does the signal impedance even matter???). After years of trying all variety of amps and cabs, the gear I currently have gives me the sound that I want so I really don't want to have to change any of it. What I have in mind would be to get a second Classic 450, or maybe an RH450, and use that to drive the little Boogie cab while the first amp powers the Tecamp. Your thoughts, advice, input, derision etc. on this much appreciated. Sid. [/quote] if you connected them like this you'd get the eq and compessor setting from the first amp i think. andy

[quote name='TraceAmp' timestamp='1358356499' post='1937731'] This is my temporary board: [/quote] whats the boost chorus like? andy

Gk do the mbe 212 which is a nice light weight 212, and is in the 300 pound mark new. For that size cab id get an 8 ohm version just so you can always expand on it. There wnt be a massive loss in volume between 4 and 8 ohms. First of do you like the sound of your 15? If so maybe add another 15? Personally i prefer to trust my ears so if a 210/212 and a 115 sound good then i forget the science. And just use them. Best thing to do is get out there and play thru some cabs.

true yould be right before i had the 115 i did have a trace 1153 to beaf up the 12's sound. the 115 is a very nice cab indeed would like to grab another 112 i think and a cheapish power amp so i can have a stack of 12's with the 15. :-) and then later grab a 810/or a 412(i know hartke dnt make this) andy

[quote name='Phil-osopher10' timestamp='1357685812' post='1926908'] I understand that they probably are a good bit better, however at the start of that clip they sounded muffled. But at the money they are asking I would prefer to get a secondhand really really good cab like vanderkley or bergantino. My overall preference would be a super12 but it is way out of my price range at the moment. Would either of the cabs sound muffled? [/quote] thats probs more the amp that the cab as you can see i use a swr head and its really sharp and clean, with a nice bit of bite much better than the video makes out andy

[quote name='Protium' timestamp='1357677014' post='1926654'] That's to reduce the floor footprint mainly [/quote] ok, still dnt really get how a stacked 210's out desperse a 610 or 810 tho but thats me i guess, go all jeremy clarkson bigger is obviously better andy

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1357678689' post='1926719'] The Hartke Hydrive 112 is also one to consider. It has variable impedence as well - 8 ohm and 4 ohm. It gets good reviews. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha2bh_OZl0I[/media] [/quote] this cab is unbelievably good! seriously worth the little bit extra as i know ill get slated for this but the lower range gk cabs didnt do it for me! the speaker is amazing too! and it 300w at either 4 or 8 ohms, rather than 200w i know this doesnt mean much but the hartke is a loud little cab andy

nice well if you get the chance strongly recommend the hartke. also just to vouch for the fact they are well made! it flew from one end of my van to the other when i had to break suddenly! big bang cab is fine not even a scuff. andy

[quote name='phil.i.stein' timestamp='1357675084' post='1926592'] i know, but believe me the darkglass is the best i've heard. i'm still going to try that ODB mod though (although i'll be sending it to someone who knows wtf they're doing) [/quote] always best lol andy

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1357674577' post='1926569'] A 6x10 (or the 4x10 with a 2x10 popped on top) has drivers side by side (regardless of what way you stack it, unless you put the 2x10 vertically on the 4x10). Putting drivers on the vertical plane narrows the dispersion. The wider the driver, the narrower the dispersion. Putting 2 10" drivers next to each other has the same dispersion as a 20" driver. You don't need to worry too much about vertical dispersion, infact it's probably beneficial if the sound isn't bouncing off the ceiling (like a single horizontal 2x10 would possibly do). [/quote] is this why in 412's (bass cabs anyway) the speakers are staggered? andy

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1357673819' post='1926545'] A 2x10 + 4x10 (or a 6x10) would have more straight in front volume but with a poorer dispersion than the vertical stack. (that's assuming that the cabs are all from the same manufacturer's range). [/quote] im confused? a 610 is only in most cases a speaker lower than the 210's stacked no? andy

[quote name='phil.i.stein' timestamp='1357341074' post='1921498'] i'm a happy b3k user. but, i saw this a while back, and think i'll do this to my old ODB-3 after listening to the clips. trust me.

[quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1357660046' post='1926192'] Sounds good, always been interested in it but I'd feel I'd need the amplite for it too, power wise. For how cheap the hydrive cabs go fo it'd be do able. Are the 1x12's sealed?? [/quote] Dnt get me wrong the headlite is no slouch keeps up with two loud guitars moderate drummer in my metal band and same but with a loud drummer in my pop punk band so its def loud im being greedy really wanting the amplite aswell lol. I cant see any ports so i think so, And with the tweeter which is switchable and the fact its a switchable between 4 and 8 ohms is very cool. Andy

If your exchanging at a shop can you go and try them out? Go by ear if possible rather than getting set that you need matching speaker sizes.

Headlite is awesome for how small it is! Awesome eq, the aural enhancer is nice but its defeatable if you dnt like it. And the onboard compressor is very nice indeed!! And its frickin tiny!!! Def gonna grab an amplite when i can afford it. Ideally id wanna keep the hartke cabs ive got at the mo and add a 810 or maybe lose the 15 and get another 112 so that ive got a smaller rig for my pop punk band but its a long way of really.

[quote name='danbowskill' timestamp='1357598664' post='1925297'] Sounds like a huuuuuge bargain!!!

[quote name='Graham' timestamp='1357586514' post='1924965'] I tried a 4x10 of these maybe 3-4 years ago and was un-impressed - it was a great sounding cab, as long as you wanted to go no lower than drop D at the lowest. I was in a drop-B tuned metal band at the time and so tried it out with a Stingray 5 and it just couldn't handle the low B, it wasn't great with a D either. Which was a shame as otherwise it was a great sounding cab - tight, rich and detailed just no good for my purposes. So, as long as you're staying in standard tuning these things are great - you really do get a lot of bang for your buck with Hartke. [/quote] thats weird i play in standard d tuning and do some drop c with my metal band and the 115 and 112 combo stand up to the punishment lol, the 810 had a lovely sound when i tried might nip back and try it using my headlite and see if the 400w is enough to drive it! im sure it will be! andy

[quote name='thumperbob 2002' timestamp='1357560433' post='1924384'] I have one- made it into a vintage styleecab- now I always turn off the tweeter- with tweeters always seemed to scoop out the mids [/quote] Have u made it look like an ampeg do share a pic? Andy

i was looking for a way to record my bass as in one of my bands we write stuff using google drive and emailing tracks to each other. couldnt afford a expensive firewire or usb interface, but i then found this online got it on a whim but it works really well record using audaicity, it took a bit of fiddling to sort out play back etc. but i plug it right into the di on my amp i do turn down the signal being sent thru the di but it gives a very nice clear recording and with audacity being a free download it cost me less than 10 quid to get recording and im thinking of doing some videos now using the webcam on my laptop. not as good as others but it gets the sound of my amp into the software also im guessing it would happily handle an sm58 put infront of the cab. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3M-Microphone-USB-MIC-Link-Cable-USB-Male-to-XLR-Female-/170615848476?pt=UK_Musical_Cables_Leads_Connectors&hash=item27b97f3e1c i have no connection to this seller and have only linked this so people can find the cable. andy
