Higgie

From owning both in the past I’d say with almost 100% certainty that’s the DOD on Power of Equality

As @ped says, without a blend knob, BP/HP modes are all but unusable. Fixing it to LP only is the way to go if you will only ever run a bass guitar through it.

I used to have 2 heads and a number of different cabs before I went down the IEM route. I had 2 Darkglass Microtube 900 V1 heads, one of which would live in the guitarist's van with my Epifani UL410 so when we on gigs together, I already had a rig in his van with his gear and the PA. The other Darkglass lived at home with the choice of a Bergantino AE410, AE210, and AE112 depending on the situation. I found that combination of gear was super flexible for all my needs, as most of the gigs I did travelling with the guitarist were theatres, where the 410 was more than enough, and anything I did aside from projects with him gave me a 410 for bigger gigs, 210 for medium gigs, and 112 for rehearsals/minimal backline gigs. I eventually sold the second rig (DG Head and Epi 410) as I was doing more IEM stuff, and then the Berg 410 and 112 went the same way as the 210 was more than capable of anything that didn't require big PA/IEM. Once most of the function bands I played/depped with went to IEM too, I sold the second DG head and Berg 210 because I came to the realisation that there was no point having such an expensive rig when only 2% of my gigs needed an amp, and I could just buy a Fender Rumble 500 210 Combo to just chuck in the car on the odd occasion I need an amp. Been very impressed with this combo. Light, loud and sounds good. What's not to like? I do mostly theatre pit work nowadays and only need the amp for the odd function that's not on IEMs, so it's perfect for that. Having said all this, I'd love a DB750 again 😝

Just finished putting this together for my next tour: It's a bit convoluted for something that looks pretty simple! On the next tour I will be doubling on electric and upright, so the sound man wants a separate feed for each. I, on the other hand, only want one volume pedal, and one tuner for both instruments, which means they will both have to share a section of the signal path. The Lehle Acouswitch popped up for sale here and I worked out that between that and an LS-2, I can do what I need. The Lehle has two inputs, so the upright will go into Input A (as this input goes through the preamp/EQ section) and my Sadowsky P will go into Input B (as this doesn't go through the preamp). The only actual effect I need on this tour is an Octave pedal, so the Octamizer can sit at the back of the board in the Lehle's loop and be brought in and out of the chain with the footswitch on the Lehle. The last thing in the chain is the second effects loop on the Lehle which is always active (no switch). In there I put the Peterson tuner (in monitor mode so the readout is always active, but the pedal isn't muting the signal) and then the signal is routed out of a TRS Mini Mod to the volume pedal that is off the board using a Y splitter. The signal comes back into the board then hits the LS-2 set to A<->B Mode. Send A goes back to the Return of the Lehle, and Send B goes to the Khan DI. Whenever you switch instruments with the Lehle, you switch outputs with the Boss accordingly. I modded my LS-2 to have blue and white LEDs to match the blue/white channel select LED on the Lehle. So although you have to hit 2 switches to change instruments, all you have to do is make sure the LEDs on both units are the same, which will ensure each instrument goes to the correct DI Out. I put the LS-2 as close to the Lehle A/B switch as possible to make it as convenient as possible. Signal chain is: Upright --> Lehle Channel A Electric --> Lehle Channel B Lehle Loop 1 Send --> Octamizer --> Lehle Loop 1 Return Lehle Loop 2 Send --> Peterson Strobostomp Mini --> Dunlop DVP4 --> Boss LS-2 In Boss LS-2 Send A --> Lehle Loop 2 Return --> XLR Out to Desk (Upright) Boss LS-2 Send B --> Khan VTDI --> XLR Out to Desk (Electric) I like being able to roll my volume pedal off to tune, and this setup will allow me to do that for both basses, with one volume pedal and one tuner. The Lehle also has a mute switch that sends the signal to the Tuner Out, but I wouldn't be able to roll off the volume pedal to tune in that configuration, so I doubt that switch will get used much. I've used a Rockboard MOD to keep all my ins and outs neat and tidy. I also drilled out one of the side holes of the Rockboard to accept a PowerCON connector, which I've soldered two IEC's on to. One goes to the GigRig Generator under the board for the pedals, the other right angled IEC comes through the top of the board to power the Khan VTDI. All 1/4" cables are made up of Squareplug SP400 jacks and Mogami 2319 cable, all XLR cables are Van Damme and Switchcraft low profile right angle XLRs. The Y Split for the volume pedal is a Squareplug SP550S (TRS) to 2 Squareplug SPS4 TS jacks. I like the Squareplugs as not only are they super low profile and well made, they sell different colour screws that you can use to ID your cables. I have orange on the jack that plugs into the Output of the volume pedal, so I (and any potential deps) will know which jack goes where. If you got this far without falling asleep, congratulations - you're as much of a nerd as I am! 🤣

Would the internals still fit in a Future Compact case?

Yes I use the CE6B models. I'm afraid they have since been discontinued as I found out recently when going to buy another pair. Cosmic informs me they are able to modify their 6P model to give a more 6B like response, but are also apparently bringing a new model out that will "replace" the 6B in their line up, so I'm waiting for those to drop before I make my mind up on whether to get those or some modified 6Ps. Another thing for me to bear in mind is, now I'm using a Porter and Davies BC2 stool, the added low end of the 6B can be too much at times, so maybe this time round I will just get the 6P for a flatter response.

Looks like its a preamp pedal based on the AG amp. Looks promising!

It’s 70% of the weight of the G1 - ie 30% lighter. It’s not heavy by any means, but thought it would be worth clarifying in case you expected it to weigh less than it does!

IEM mix is separate for me. Bass -> Backbeat -> Wireless.

I'd be up for a group buy. I need a spare plate or two. Just paid the customs duty on my second G2 which will be delivered next week - It will be going straight up for sale as soon as it arrives. A change in circumstances means I no longer need a second one. Anyone who is after one can skip the wait and the import duty etc bringing one in from the US - Box will be still sealed and absolutely new. PM me.

This is what I would try first! Relatively inexpensive and you get a great filter too!

This. Cab sim is on DI out only
