My guitarist just got this head and i have to say we are all massively impressed and anyone looking for a very affordable loud amp which sounds nice for rock metal or blues seriously should check out the engl gigmaster 15 or 30. and they are 2 channel! with a mid boost! that is all! andy

our gig last night was the hottest gig ever! venue is in a basement, with no aircon! go figure there was sweat on the walls and all over the floor! but the show was sick! played with a london band called "one for Sorrow" and a cornwall based band called "bad horsie" awesome night and a decent turn out! andy

got all the bits needed just been manic so heading in one evening next week to record the video

only a few days away! any basschatters fancy coming down! andy

i use a few different distortions to get a bit more variety my terror, have a mesa flux drive gives a nice grind to the sound and boosts the treble with out loosing low end, but if im in a really boomy room of need to cut thru guitar walls ill hit the lateral root, yes it cuts bottom out but again almost re eq's the amp for me to take away the boom. but the main thing that i do or used to is to use a rack eq infront to add to the eq options worked really well. andy

[quote name='dudewheresmybass' timestamp='1402824399' post='2476986'] I had a play a good while ago. The combination of the two phases can sound amazing! Some amazing textures here. I loved the feature of setting the two phases sequentially too. Enjoy your new toy! [/quote] this is what im thinking ill use vintage setting with them running at the same time. andy

will let you know as it maybe a bit much, with it being two! andy

just grabbed myself on of these from evil bay. i do like how the phase 90 sounds on bass and looking for something dif to my chorus, and as this is 2 phase 90 in one box it should be a lot dif, looking forward to trying this out with some dirt. andy

bargain id say! love these amps always wanted one but alas never been able to find one for the right price andy

anyone use this to help mould a dirty signal? just thinking of something like this at the end of all my pedals to add a bit of eq and bass boost, and its smaller than both the aggie and sansamp di's plus i dnt need the dist from those. andy

def starting to sound like theres something up with that amp, looking at your settings there nothing extreme going on with the amp, and if you have turned input and ouput to max you shouldnt be able to stand near it let alone want it louder! andy

its for this cabling reason i bought myself a speakon to jack cable so handy when you turn up to a gig using another bands cab and they only have jack inputs. it could be down to the 115 not being the greatest cab in the world, doubt you head not being the same brand has alot to do with it. andy

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1401780932' post='2466673'] If you bought it from here for what seems to be the going price you have no doubt got it for what seems to be the going price for Aq Octimizers and the B3 does an awful lot more besides. Plus, if it's not for you, you'll shift it on pretty quick. Win win really. [/quote] ive always found multi effects just made me crave the single pedals again, but hope all goes well! andy

[quote name='codhead' timestamp='1402591467' post='2475136'] Andy, Yeah, the guy I bought the Ashdown off keeps saying that I should check out Sansamp bass drivers or whatever. It just really doesn't feel loud enough, like EQ aside, its really not jumping out there, there's none of that bass boom. It's weird. I need to try it through another cab really to get an idea. Josh [/quote] well worth a try thru a 212 or 410 cab. andy

id be tempted to try the route of eq first, i have never been wanting for volume when using a trace 1153 a few years back with a markbass head which only put out 300w at 8 ohm. also if its a i cant hear myself volume problem then i would def try eq as alot of things could be in your freq range especially with two guitar doing a mid scoop sound, try as has been suggested above i think try cutting the bass and boosting mids (mids are your friend) also there is the possibly sad truth that you just dnt like the sound the mag puts out, so maybe a dif head or a preamp pedal into the poweramp section, ie something like a sansamp or dunlop m-80 could be a cheaper solution to a new rig andy

i can deal with the pain of moving my 810 because of the sound! andy

got this little beasty happening in a few weeks should be an awesome night, nice variety of bands from around the local area and special guest band from london who are awesome! heres the fb event if your around plymouth please come down and say hey! https://www.facebook.com/events/686528614739063/ andy

just as an update love the chorus so much its basically on all the time! sounds awesome! demo coming soon hopefully! andy

im the same as the op, day after a gig i normally spend it chilling and am norm knackered! if i have work i can deal with it, but was tough the other day when i had 2 1/2 hours sleep after a gig in wales andy

Im sorting a few bits out to start doing demos for some of my gear so hopefully in the next week or so ill have some up, My t65 is in a multi effect, but sure its the same bar the effects loop Andy

[quote name='Fionn' timestamp='1401236332' post='2461616'] The EHX Micro POG has three controls. One for dry signal, one for low octave, one for high octave. It's versatile. Just blend between the three to your taste/ requirements. It really is a great pedal, and like I alluded to before, it tracks perfectly. I'm not aware of another octaver which does. The effected sound isn't the "cleanest" that I've heard ... but it's a great sound and I LOVE it. These are circa £150 new, and it's relatively rare to see them second hand (probably for good reason). You were asking about something cheap ... I've had a couple of Boss OC-3's. These also have a polyphonic function (both octave up and down), with a range control. In this mode the effect definitely sounds clean and it tracks really well (way better than the OC-2 and Octabass that I've used). It also has an "OC-2" mode, although it falls short of replicating the OC-2. You can get it quite synthy sounding with the dry signal rolled back, which is cool, although the tracking in this mode is as poor as an actual OC-2. There's also a "Drive" mode which sounds properly dirty and fat with just a wee bit of low octave dialed in. I like the OC-3. It deserves more love. I think that somebody is selling on here for £45 at the moment. Not bad, I reckon. [/quote] Dnt think the oc-3 has an octave up dude does it? Andy

Only a tube pre, so only two tubes in there, markbass would be my next choice if i didnt have the orange Andy

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1401051029' post='2459614'] I don't think you want the Organizer, it's a bit more specialised, it has lag control and does +2 & -2 as well. Look at the EHX POG or the COG T-65, definitely look at the latter.....currently waiting on mine Si [/quote] As i said above only good things to say about the t65 from cog mine doesnt have the loop part which makes ieven better! The filter is awesome aswell

[quote name='skidder652003' timestamp='1401007331' post='2458915'] yeah getting a bit nervous about the weight! I weighed my SWR and flightcase, thinking it would be similar, it isn't. SWR and flightcase only 50lbs, SVT head 80lbs. However as Im the poor sod with the majority of the PA as well, ( active subs, passive tops but no more wedge monitors thank god) and a sack carrier is mandatory, Im hoping I'll get away with it. The Warwick 411 is so heavy it's now on castors. Seem to be going in a completely opposite direction weight wise to the majority of people on bass chat! But.....always , always wanted a 300 Watt Tube monster.. and you only live once... [/quote] they are bloody heavy! andy
