I started Yoga a year ago - it's done wonders for my back and posture

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1324856749' post='1478187'] Do you have any extra power supplies or batteres? Try powering one pedal on a battery and everything else on a supply. See if anything changes. Then power that pedal again and do another off a battery. Is likely not due to a noisy pedal but this process will let you iron out that possibility. Compressor near the end of a chain = bad is noise bothers you. As mentioned. Ground noise can come from anything. Often from the fridge etc! What kind of noise is it? Hum, buzz or hiss? [/quote] Thanks all - I've only the one power supply, but will try batteries and a different socket to see if that makes any difference. It's hiss more than hum, but with each pedal having a different pitch to the hiss. The surprising thing for me was the hiss present even without the compressor on - will think about adding that later, but then the filter can get a bit peaky... Will experiment, cheers

Merry Xmas everyone Bit of advice required - I've been doing some recording over the last few days, and I didn't previously realise the amount of noise in my chain. I'm using pretty quality pedals, so I've been surprised at the levels coming through. The chain is; Boss TU2, MXR Bass Octave Deluxe, MXR Bass Envelope Filter, Demeter Compulator, Danelectro Reel Echo; all powered with a Diago powerstation, and using short, decent cables. I know that having the compressor later in the signal builds up the hiss, but I find it helps the sound following the filter+octave, and even when it's off the BOD and BEF are still surprisingly noisy. Any tips? Anything I should try? The MXRs are quite new and I've not recorded with them before, but they're much noisier then I expected... Thanks

Thanks guys - I think New Cross will be too far for the North Londoners, but will look into Electrowerkz Cheers

Anyone?

A friend of mine is moving abroad for work (with family) and has asked me to put a band together for their leaving party. He's now asked me if I can suggest a venue! The details are; Saturday night in Feb 150 people Central London (W.End / Camden) Stage required (PA preferable but I guess we could hire one in) Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

ok, finally got around to taking a snap. Chain is; Red Onion A/B box (off the board because it's only used occasionally) => Boss Tu2 => Demeter Compulator => Boss OC2 => MXR Bass Envelope Filter => MXR El Grande Fuzz => EHX Freeze => Demeter Tremulator => MXR Carbon Copy => Sansamp BDDI A few of you may recognise some of these

Bought Trev's delay pedal, really quick and easy to deal with, next day delivery, better wrapping than Jay-Z Top guy, deal with confidence

It's a live version of Dark Side from Wembley 74 streamed every hour on the hour. Best version of great gig I've heard them do live.

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1316785402' post='1382880'] Possibly none at all - depends on the excursion limited power handling of those woofers. Even if there is a difference it'll be pretty insignificant. [/quote] Ok, thanks again

Resurrecting this thread, as there is one more point I didn't really raise before. Using the Shuttle 3.0 head; - Running just the 2x10 cab will be 8ohms so 175w - Running 2x1x10s will be 4ohms, so 300w Is that right? And how much difference will that really make?

[quote name='arthurhenry' timestamp='1316537371' post='1379402'] Almost all the bass on Animals is Gilmour too. I believe Waters only plays bass on sheep, except the end. [/quote] Really? I'm surprised to hear that. I've heard a few bits from the Animals tour with some great playing by Rog

Just to say, I'm available to dep for a PF cover band, should anyone need I've picked up a couple of live recordings from WYWH and Animals tours - some great live playing by Rog

[quote name='alexclaber' post='1375481' date='Sep 16 2011, 01:31 PM']If the 1x10" and 2x10" contain the same woofers and the 1x10"s are roughly half the size of the 2x10" (there's a fair bit of leeway) then the maximum output of two 1x10"s and one 2x10" will be the same. If the internal volume per woofer is smaller with one of the cabs then it'll need some bass boost to get the same tone but they'll run out of loudness at the same point because that's determined by the volume displacement rather than the thermal power handling.[/quote] Thanks Alex

[quote name='chris_b' post='1375435' date='Sep 16 2011, 01:03 PM']You just place the feet between the cabs, or between the amp and the 210. Don't fix them then you aren't permanently changing anything.[/quote] Great idea, thanks

[quote name='TimR' post='1375350' date='Sep 16 2011, 11:56 AM']I think in theory that the max power of the combined setup will be limited by what you can put into the 1x10. Assuming that the 2x10 is 4 times as loud as the 1x10 just by virtue of having two drivers in the same enclosure I'm not sure how much extra volume you'll get from adding the 1x10" and then having to run the amp at a lower power. Unless I'm missing something.[/quote] My question essentially was, if I replace my 2x10 extension with a 1x10 extension cab (so I run a mini-stack of 1x10 combo + 1x10 cab), will this keep up with a drummer on the rare-ish occasions I gig with one? Or is a 2x10 cab notably louder than 2x1x10s?

[quote name='chris_b' post='1375338' date='Sep 16 2011, 11:41 AM']You can buy 4 rubber cab feet from Maplins for about £3. I just put them between the cabs and they easily clear top mounted handles.[/quote] Ah, but then it won't fit back into the combo chassis...

[quote name='xgsjx' post='1375285' date='Sep 16 2011, 10:59 AM']I would have thought the 2x10 wouldn't have a much bigger footprint than the 1x10, just higher?[/quote] There's actually quite a bit of difference - the 2 speakers aren't directly on top of the other, so the cab is bigger in all dimensions (and heavier). Also, and a bit weirdly, because of the handle on top of the 2x10, you can't easily balance the Shuttle head on top, I have to cut out some polystyrene to sit in on

Thanks, all - some things to think about there Cheers

[quote name='chris_b' post='1374951' date='Sep 15 2011, 10:16 PM']I'm assuming the 110 and the 210 are 8 ohm? I'd put the combo on the 210 and run that rig at whatever volume is appropriate, and you haven't had to spend any money. More speakers = more cone area = better tone.[/quote] Thanks - I have run it as a 3x10 (combo + 2x10) and it was great, I was wondering whether just 2 1x10s would hold their own against a kit - that would give me more room at home, easier portability and hopefully a bit of cash. The GB is max 300w through 2 cabs by the way...
