ped

Finally taken more pictures 

I Don't think posts in 'Off Topic' or the Marketplace count towards your total, so get stuck in!

I think the sweet spot for a combo is to be loud enough for personal monitoring and small/light enough for one hand carry. Otherwise, what's the point?

As such, I love my Eic BC112pro. The tilt back stand makes it super useful on bigger stages where there's a good PA.

Interested to know what you think it's missing. it suits me very well, with EQ all neutral; the 'taste' control is all I use.

Played a great gig at the weekend, probably our best yet. The Thunderstangbacker sounded ace, and I love my little Eich combo!

This is the way I do since so many years as my ears are meant to hear mainly from the front 😂 , but it seems that musicians ears are designed the other way round as they always put their amp and many cabs in their back, or maybe they listen through their butthole... 🤔🤪

 

Joking aside it's simply a thing from the past when there was no P.A. or F.O.H., so use your amp the right way from now on @ped. 😉

Maybe standing behind an 8x10 in the future might help with stage fright

When I was still using my RCF FRFR I'd often position it at the front of the stage but "firing" across so that the rest of the band also got the benefit.

I do that at rehearsal where we don't PA the bass, and it works well. However on stage I've actually used it next to the drummer but pointing away from him and towards me, so that his monitor mix isn't muddied by my amp. Given that I'm off to the side with nobody else next to me, I think it gives the rest of the band less bass bleed and a cleaner stage sound.

We played a really great gig yesterday at Oundle music festival. Once again I used my Eich 112XS combo which tilts back so I can hear myself really well on stage and the DI sound is perfect. 
 

When I position the amp on stage, I naturally put it behind me because that’s what I’ve always done. But at sound check I tried it in front of me like a monitor, and had the FOH out keys and vocals in my actual monitor. It worked really well and I could feel the bass and hear it even batter. 
 

I moved it though for the gig because it was in the way to be honest for everyone else coming on and off stage but I wondered if anyone else does this regularly? I think next time I might do it from the start and move other things around to make room. 
 

I think having it facing away from the audience probably helps reduce the on stage sound, too - I think I could have it even louder without affecting the PA sound out front.

Jokes aside, this is my current setup

 

Handles on the side make this a pedltray

Just the FI, BMC and WAZA left now

I like the Valco KGB. I found my tall font Muff got a bit lost in the mix - the Valco does exactly the same sound but allows far more control, including phase, blend, impedance and tone. Plus three voices with varying mids and gate. If you can’t get what you want out of the KGB, it’s probably not a fuzz!

Given the lack of functional difference between the two I’d go with the Halon, as he’s replied

sharing my processors on a pedalstand for both thick and thin strings. The tap tempo on top of the expression pedal is to toggle between EXP1 and EXP2

 

 

I rather like your red IEC cable

Ive been searching for info on these but can't figure out if the button is an on/off switch, or just for pairing. Are these the type that you can leave plugged in and just turn on when needed, or like the Boss ones that turn on when pugged in?

 

From memory, the former. I think you press the button to power on, and hold for pairing etc.

Agree on the Bassballs vibe - it's a twin envelope follower which therefore creates a sort of phase cancellation effect depending on how you adjust the filters. But it doesn't seem to be triggering very dynamically, as suggested.

IEMs can be substantially enhanced by using a tactile feedback device such as a bassboard or backbeat. I still prefer an amplifier if I’m honest 

I was expecting to see an Aldi OC-2 clone from the thread title!

I had a Bossa jazz bass, it was fantastic. 

I bet someone sent him a telegram at the time slagging him off

Always makes me wonder, when it says 'designed in collaboration with' - when it comes to a FSO, surely the input is 'this pickup, these knobs, that colour, make the pickguard extra ugly'. Hardly 'design', is it?
