I've got a few transcriptions I've been looking for something to do with (mostly Steely Dan, couple assorted tracks) gimme a shout if you'd be interested in using some! Great job on videos too!

Some good advice in this thread. I bought an Apogee Duet 2 and have to say the thing is fantastic! A fair bit more expensive than your budget allows though. Having said that I haven't used any of the other units mentioned here so maybe I've overpaid

I liked both the Darkglass pedals best, which is lucky because I own both! If I didn't I'd be in a world of pain! Haha. And yes, your dry tone is awesome!

Here we are then!

Shell Pink with dark Tortoiseshell guard is nice!

The GigRig Generator will power everything you have with the right adaptors, which they sell seperately.

I generally use setting 1, 3 or 4 depending on whether im using my jazz with rounds or my p with flats. But bypassing the EQ is still possible as the pure clean sound that comes out is amazing! If your bass is active, then tweak from the onboard preamp!

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1444248084' post='2881627'] I've been using the Avalon for over a year now, first with a Crown XTi power amp, then a Crest CA9, through a Barefaced Super Twin. The first thing to say is, yes, you can feed the power amp and the DI at the same time. Like you say, use the line level for the power amp and the mic level for the DI and it works a treat. i first heard the Avalon when doing some recording, and thought that's the tone I want live. I love this setup - simple, clean and oozing quality. The Crown amp was good, but the Crest is amazing. On the Avalon, I tend to bypass the EQ presets and it sounds so clear and musical. Enjoy! [/quote] Lovely looking (and I bet sounding!) rig there mate. Can I ask how you transport the Avalon? I have the rack ears kit and was wondering wether to rack mount it with the Chevin or seperately so I can take it on it's own for recording and what not!

Thanks all for your replies. I originally wanted the Berg 310, but gave up waiting for one and bought the Chevin and Vanderkley instead. Been using the U5 into the front of the Tonehammer 500 into 2x Berg AE210s and the sound was marvellous, but working on a ship for months at a time, bringing a rig on and off was beginning to be a ball ache, therefore I made the tough (yeah, right!) decision to buy a power amp for the U5 and use it as an amp for a second rig (...Cue wallet emptying)

No one with any U5 experience?

I've bought a Chevin A1000 to go with my Avalon U5 as a pre/power amp setup, to be used with a Vanderkley 4Ohm 212, and I'm unsure if the whole setup can do what I need it to. Now here is the question: The Chevin only has XLR inputs, so I assume to take the Line Level XLR output from the Avalon into the Chevin, to send to my cab. If I do this, can I simultaneously use the Mic Level XLR to send to the desk? If not, would using the Link output on the Chevin function the same as sending a Line Level signal to the desk? New to the whole "Pre/Power amp" setup so just a few questions to avoid blowing myself and/or the gear up!

Just switched from George L's to Lava Cable.

Will the original Pedaltrain Nano be of any use? I have a spare I could sell you! It's a little bit smaller than the Nano+ I think, but if everything will fit on to it you're welcome to have it!

Cheers man. Just ordered another couple of lava jacks and some cable for the last couple of connections. Finished pics coming later this week! Cheers
