    VT1-Compressor (prototype) is in the post. Be kind, please :)

    OH my Dave! the li'l fella is out in the players domain then? This pedal I have to try! ;o)

    CK.. if no one else is in the queue, please may I be next?

    Not seen one of these before, a radical new cab or not?

    Hey John! yeh, I'd seen them a while back and really just dismissed them for their size at the time, but physically it wouldnt bother me now. I'm sure there's something to be said about the cabinet being 'round'. I suspect there would be some issue as usual, with cramming to many drivers into too small a box. I think there has been discussion about how inefficient iso-whatsis face cabinets are.. I wonder how they fair against other cabs out on the market (if they dropped the rear facing cone).

    It does raise the question as to what is wrong woth your existing rig?[/quote]


    lol.. Dave, I think the only thing wrong with my rig is what's commonly known as the 'human condition' !!!!! lol Why cant we just be happy with our tone? Always having to fudge with it all the time!

    I will bring it to the next bash for a good sesh.

    Have you moved in to it yet? :)[/quote]

    I drive it to town! It has wheels on ;o)

    [quote name='Toasted' post='18123' date='Jun 15 2007, 11:17 AM']Where did you buy from dood?[/quote]

    I could have shopped around I guess and went to our european outlets for a good price, but I ended up buying from the Bass Gallery. (I needed a cab sooner rather than later, for gigging etc) I was very impressed with how it sounded in comparison to the rest of the BG stock. (My tastes anyway!)

    or get an EQ pedal.. you can then boost the frequencies that you want for a particular solo sound. I used to add a little middle, cut the very lows and the very highs, giving the sound an almost wind instrument smoothness.

    Thats interesting, it hadn't occurred to me that if we have a site full of foul language it can be picked up by 'parental control' type software and web surfing URL blacklisters.

    More than a good reason to **** your language. The last thing I think the Basschat forum wants is for people to not be able to get to it for one reason or another, I think anyway.

    [quote name='ste_m3' post='17145' date='Jun 13 2007, 07:40 PM']Aha, ive always had a few issues with how to say some manufactures names! like...

    Pedulla... Pedyula or pedyoola
    Behringer... Bay-Ring-er or Ber-inj-er
    Epifani... Epi-Fanny or Epi-farn-ee

    Maybe i should start an off topic thread... hmm!

    anyway, to the question in hand, its always twoten to bassists. And two ten inchers two anyone else![/quote]

    beh-rin-jer
    pedyoola
    epifannee (where the accent is on the P, as in Epiphany) the guy in the gallery says epi-farnee.. Can't see that being right. But eppy-fanny makes me chortle in a playground smut sort of way.

    Ampeg SVP-BSP Preamp

    [quote name='andy67' post='17236' date='Jun 13 2007, 10:07 PM']hi folks...

    all I see with the svp is a svt 3pro without the power section! maybe thats an amp you need to demo, I am very pleased with mine!

    oh well cant get everything right! need to do a little more research on the svp-bsp! <[oil tanker]smiley>[/quote]


    oh yeh.. and one more thing! putting line driver valves into the SVT 3's poweramp section was just ace! Makes the poweramp act a little more like a valve amp than a usual SS poweramp. Kinda compresses when you push them really hard. Just this side of distortion. (except when the amp runs out of steam)

    yup, you're spot on, the all valve SVP preamp is more or less exactly the same in the SVT3 and similar in the SVT4.. and the same as the SVT 2 pro.

    The BSP has a similar EQ section, but the valve triodes are hooked up together with nothing in between, right at the start of the signal chain, before the gain control. In much the same way as the config of the Trace Elliot SMX preamps. The rest of the BSP is op-amped.

    Interestingly, I found the very best clean tone with the least noise picked off from the clean channel send. However the rendered the rest of the preamp (dirty channel etc) useless.

    I'd almost go as far as building that section of the pre as a standalone preamp.. and it would definitely sound great. Hmmm.. mebbe I just will! ;o)

    Get some NS-10's!! (there's a myth attached to that, that circles the engineer fraternity.. right up there with beyer' DT100's)

    Actually, yes the obvious would be Hifi speakers! I have been monitoring on Mission floor standers for years and never realised! I'm just so used to the sound of them and compare recordings with CDs using them. a sort of psuedo mastering, if you will.

    My guitarist recorded his whole album using the big Behringer active monitors. The record label left it as it was, save for a small amount of finalisation as far as I can tell.

    Ampeg SVP-BSP Preamp

    One thing I can add is that the Pad button feeds straight into the valve. The gain control is actually situated after that valve. therefore, you can actually overdrive it with a hot bass with the gain control on zero! ;o) (I used to have one too you see)

    The problem you are having is the preamp's ability to drive with enough gain up to line level. FWIW, my V Type has a massive signal output in comparison to any Ampeg pre I have owned, so it's not just you.

    Frankly, its not really a problem of the power amp.. if anything, you don't need a more powerful amp.. but one whose sensitivity (the input level on which the poweramp will produce it's full output) is lower, so the preamp needn't have such a high output, to match up with.

    The odd thing is that you are driving an ampeg into an ampeg.. surely they should have matched the 2?? lol .. If you can get some sort of line driver pedal/box and plonk it in between pre and poweramp you should notice a good difference.. at the expense of some additional noise.

    Alex is also correct, I have heard of pre's being modded (and poweramps for that matter) to match kit together.
