gonna have to suggest the lateral sound "Spore" great boost/drive/fuzz! well worth a look! andy

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1489639109' post='3258549'] Give the soundman two separate feeds as suggested above. Andy - I would watch it if trying to blend a Torpedo with clean DI live. The Torpedo is digital so has a slight processing delay. This is only a few ms, so not big enough to be noticeable by itself, but if you mix that with clean you might experience comb filtering effects like a flanger stuck at one point of its sweep. This is a benefit of the analog nature of the OmniCabSim! [/quote] Interesting I hope to be able to try it out, the di would be a meatbox so not clean but thanks for the info

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1489438703' post='3256996'] My query is this. Live, I aways send the bass to PA as well as through the cab on stage. I'll only usually do this through a mic'd cab or my Omnicabsim cab sim pedal, mainly the latter unless the sound guy kicks up a fuss. I wont DI straight from the amp as I find it sounds too unnatural by comparison. The Omnicabsim will sit in my amp's effects loop, with the dry out returning to the amp and the DI from the pedal going FOH. That being said, I'm warming to the idea of blending the signal I am sending to FOH, say 50% mic'd/omnicabsim and 50% DI from head, so I get the best of both worlds. What is the best way of me doing this? [/quote] This is a reason for me wanting to get a two notes torepedo I can give the sound desk an 810 mic'd sound with no mics so they can't complain, every time I try to send two signals to the pa they have a moan. I normally send my normal bass and a di which has the subs from my meatbox.

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1489477161' post='3257167'] Really, I did a side by side comparison of the OC-2 & the T-16 and thought the COG got 95% there, closer than the Octabvre I thought.....plus what it could do with the rest of the filter, pretty versatile! Si [/quote] Have to agree, the t70 set up like the 16 when listening in the room sounds pretty spot on to the oc-2 hate to say it but the oc-3 sounds pretty damned close. I only noticed a difference when I close mic'd the cab for recording

Ill be cheeky and say Cog T-70, alot of awesome sounds in one box the boss Oc-2 is great aswell tho! Andy

[quote name='Jack' timestamp='1489416346' post='3256712'] Hey, it's always best to use the gear you have. But what's better than best? That's right, new gear. Many DI boxes will accept a speaker output. So if you bought something like the incredible [url="http://www.countryman.com/type-85-direct-box"]Countryman Type 85[/url] (or one of it's cheaper or more expensive competitors) you could put that in between the amp and the speaker. And then you'd sound awesome. [/quote] needs to be a load box not a di but this is what i was saying you'd get the sound of your jcm not the svt sim of the vtdi

[quote name='TrevorR' timestamp='1489411638' post='3256654'] Adding in the Radial DI box to introduce an effects look into the signal path looks like a pretty over-engineered solution given that a slight re-ordering of your existing pedals and leads seems to solve the problem. [color=#000000]Go [b]from[/b]…[/color] [color=#000000]Bass-> Korg Pitchblack-> Sansamp VTDI-> MXR Phase 90 -> Corona Mini[/color] [color=#000000][b]To[/b]…[/color] [color=#000000]Bass-> Korg Pitchblack-> MXR Phase 90 -> Corona Mini -> Sansamp VTDI.[/color] [color=#000000]Then use the VTDI XLR output to take the signal to the PA. Then use either 1) the parallel out to the amp if you DON’T want the EQ and drive settings on the VTDI to go through the amp or 2) the main jack output of the VTDI if you do. [/color] [color=#000000]If there is an issue that you prefer to have an overdriven sound going into the modulation effects rather than modulation effects going into the overdrive then your set up would be…[/color] [color=#000000]Bass-> Korg Pitchblack-> [i][NEW OVERDRIVE PEDAL TO GENERATE OD TONE][/i]-> MXR Phase 90 -> Corona Mini -> Sansamp VTDI ([i]set up with a low gain to act as an amp/speaker sim rather than an overdrive[/i]).[/color] [color=#000000]Anything more than that seems like over complicating things for no particular reason or benefit.[/color] [/quote] not introducing an effects loop just a simple way of getting a di signal from the power amp of the jcm so no vtdi needed in the chain.

have a look zander circuitry and lateral sounds, both very affordable and they make great pedals, id have to say the spore from lateral is a great all round pedal can do clean boost, drive, distortion and all out fuzz! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqWNJNOaxuQ the zander stuff sounds huge and again has a lot of sounds, which will fit the doomy sabbath vibe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHmLOv61AcE&t=1s Andy

[quote name='Fisheth' timestamp='1489399646' post='3256523'] Interesting, thanks for the response! The amp has no FX loop! I'll have a look at the Radial box you mentioned. [/quote] happy to help man,

[quote name='Fisheth' timestamp='1489356216' post='3256364'] Alright, so I'm having a mess about with my pedals as I want to take my JCM 800 to gigs instead of my Ashdown for a bit and I've ran into a problem. The Marshall has no DI on the back, so I've decided to use my Sansamp for the DI part, now here's my set up so far. Bass-> Korg Pitchblack-> Sansamp VT-> MXR Phase 90 -> Corona Mini That's all well and good, but I'm using the Parallel output on my Sansamp to plug it into my amp and my FX's will be going into the chain after the Sansamp. Will they A) Go through the PA rather than my amplifier (I'm assuming yes) and the output on the Corona has nothing to connect to, as I'm not sure I'll ever need a quarter inch for that, however I still have a cable going into it. Will that mean the pedal will still work? [/quote] If there's nothing in the output of the chorus it won't work, those effects won't be in your setup. You have ATM bass-vtdi-amp, then out of the sansamp into your effects but they dnt go to an am or di box, so will never affect the sound, put them in line before the di. For me if you are taking the Jcm for tone I'd want it heard ie mic'd up rather than the more svt sounding di but then that's just me you could put a di box in the effects loop tho to at least get the pre amp, or grab a load box with a di radial do one of these.

Probs safe to say things were getting a tad excessive at the jam last night!

[quote name='indiegrungesound' timestamp='1489243003' post='3255424'] Can anyone help recommend any Octave Up pedals that are cheaper than the EHX Micro POG? [/quote] what is it that you want to achieve sound wise? as a dirty octave up i love the tentacle from eqd, but if you want clean and really good tracking then i used to have the ehx pitchfork which i think is cheaper than the pog and has alot more sounds in it. cant say ive tried the tc but with the toneprint thats got a crap tone of sounds available.

This is a tiny little demo showing the combo of these pair! It's not a useable sound for everyone but it is for me :-) https://youtu.be/1Llact3UGjY

[quote name='Savethedaves' timestamp='1488868910' post='3252437'] I've been looking at one of these too - cheers for the post! [/quote] no problem its well worth grabbing even just for the modulation

So had this for a while so figured I should do a demo The fuzz is actually really good and having the eq switch for flat, full or scooped sounds And the modulation stuff is great https://youtu.be/gla1bAOW9oE

[quote name='blablas' timestamp='1488542783' post='3249812'] Compressor at the begin of the chain, looper at the end. Everything in-between - just try it and use what sounds the best for you. [/quote] see now i like my comp after everything! also discovered the win thats reverb pre drive!

[quote name='bakerster135' timestamp='1488447595' post='3248964'] I use the Bass Whammy after my Sub Phatty to do this kind of thing, and it works great! Definitely octave pedals BEFORE the Whammy. I find the Whammy doesn't sound cheesy at all if it's fed more of a gritty signal. You may have been given that impression by all the guys on YouTube, doing w***y slap on a Warwick through the octave up setting? [/quote] Yep totally agree! They sound great vexing feed with a slightly beefer tone

So have a new demo up on the channel of the T. rex Quint machine octave, pretty cool poly octave with a fifth up aswell as down and up octaves. https://youtu.be/10_XY13iAvo

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1487877416' post='3243853'] Hey fellas Looking good...hope it all goes well.. Suggestion?? - Any photographers in the fold?...the photo booth we have at the Herts Bash is always well received with attendees being able to get some quality photos taken with their gear. For a couple of quid donation to your charity of choice?? [/quote] I'll have my camera as I'm probs thinking this could be kinda cool for my YouTube channel so I'm happy to get a few pics of the day and gear
