very true, were its also important to be able to mix yourself on stage a bit aswell, but agree a usless SE is a waste of time.

joe public couldnt tel the difference between an svt, abm or a darkglass head...tbh its down to feel and how it lets me play, i always try to match ir to the amp and rig i play, in the mix i just want it to sound good, but if its what im hearing it needs to be what i want, however im def advise the sound guy on how to layer the signals i send (Sub, Synth and amp di) also if i send them a ir'd and treated di ive not yet had an upset sound guy. however im not trying to make a 112 sound like a 215, im trying to get the sound of my 215 into the pa. im gonna start using iem probs towards the end of the year, and for that the ir's (for me two notes) work the best for me

I think it’s down to finding the right ir I love someone micing up a cab, but it’s not always practical At the min I only use ir for home recording but am gonna add it to my live di to help it

Are you trying to match them to a cab you have? I have the same sound in the speaker as your di? The only way for that is ir and something like a two notes cabm+

if your using a frfr its a totally different thing to a normal cab

what Pre amps shave you been using? its taken me a while but my current direct setup is a blend of three di ( geddy 2112 and ashdown ctm rack pre) three channels into two notes wall of sound for recording, if i want a silent stage i use a two notes captor on my amps out put (its a peavey 200w) im careful and its fine. also if you play clean without drive or fuzz you could be fine as you are. ir shine when distortion is involved

the problem with trying to do this with an actually amp is the (Eq/cab IR) needs to come after the power section to have the proper effect, something very easy to do in the box on a mac or in helix,QC or kemper however i know of no EQ that can take the power of an amp. for me sending an amp into a powered frfr speaker is also a bad idea as they are powered so obvioous issues there if going into an frfr there so many good pre amps now which have an emulated out that you caould send into something like this.

this is what i think im gonna have to do speakons and then hardwired leads out the back

Would all be lower than 200w so can have these hooked up into the patch bay and move the two notes between them when needed.

Dod will get you very close, wouldnt try putting it thru iems tho, would either distort or pop them, if its going to a pa you will feel the subs.

Tbh honest I’ve only played one other thunderbird pickup and that was years ago in an epi t bird, the Avedissian is a great pickup punchy and aggressive, hopefully be able to shout about the other replacement early next week

want to put my amps at home in to a patch bay so i can quickly go between them, both for input and output and send them to my two notes captor or other load box down the line. will a standard trs patch bay take the load?

i also have a new pick on the way to replace the neck jazz pick up

first gig with it last night

hahaha!

theres the actual rig lets just say i make up for the guitarists being kemper and QC........they do have powdered cabs on stage tho so.......love the 215's!

Mk 4 decided to crap it’s pants after the sound check had to grab the old school bass 400 series head. but rig sounded killer

but does serve a purpose if someone might search in about 6 months lol

this rig screams trying to grab a couple of the peavey mk4 heads that can run at 2 ohms one for each set of biamp, one could run the 18's and one the 10's

i fell in love with the tone of an old Peavey 400 series mk3 head, now own a mk4 and one of the much older bass heads, all pretty similar in certain ways but i have them more for collection i can interchange them given how i feel. however my main sound comes from my Rack pre amps which are before the amps An Ashdown ctm valve pre and Geddy 2112 tech 21 which i blend for either a fatter of more aggressive tone.

obne signal blender pase and volume control for both loops aswell as a clean volume

from looking you need about 900 or so ma so you could try using a current doubler cable from voodoo labs and something like a strymon Ojai...........will give you 1000ma and the adaptor is nice and small the Ojai r300 is super slimline and has the iec plug aswell.
