I wonder if you would be able to use a send block on one path to send one signal out of the FX loop send. Not sure if that can be configured differently to the main outs, but it might be an option.

Ok.

Why do we need a compromise ? Its never been like this before, and isnt like this on all the websites ive visited. If other fonts dont do it, why not use that as the default? Ive not come across a website that insists on changing what i type.

Yep. We discovered changing the font works. Shouldn’t need to though.

Same. Im going back and forth between the two shows but NG is, well, being himself. Not a fan of this brother.

Got bored, now watching the old grey whistle test on BBC4. Gary Numan sounding playing a nice heavy version of Are Friends electric. His daughter has a great voice as well.

Nice MB rig. Two amps as well. I guess he doesn't have confidence in the brand lol,

HPF’s are all over the place. Amps can often have them built in, and many pedals have them as part of their circuitry. In all my years of playing ive never had my drivers jump around like that, and dont know anyone that has. its not a gimmick, but not a necessity either, at least for most of us.

Ah right. Good call then.

Nice one Russ. Not heard that song for ages (since we stopped playing it). Ill be honest and say im not a fan of black and white, at least not clean black and white if that makes senses, but its shot and edited well so job done.

There is a setting that disables it other than for the headphone out. Maybe you set that by mistake?

Interesting. For the first time we (or rather my singer) had huge issues with her Xvive IEM system. Me and the the guitarist were using Xvive U2’s, with no issues, he was on ch4 and im on ch2, but her IEM kept cutting out and was totally un reliable at anything over 1ft distance. We tried all the channels with no difference. There was one of those rowdy church service type of things going on in the rehearsal complex, and at one stage she had the preacher/voice of god, coming through her IEM’s. I can’t figure out why the rest of us had no issues, but it was quite comical…..for a while.

Take one for the presets and turn the amp gain down and any OD’s that are on. Treat it like a real amp.

Looks to me like they gave him a pair and took photos of him using them. Wonder if he gave them back 😎

I must admit i found the mids a bit fatiguing on longer gigs, but it never let me down. Even the band used to comment on how well they could hear me across the stage, without me being loud.

When i had my old 1212L i felt it could produce two sounds. The onstage, pokey and clear, and then off stage full and punchy. I always used to EQ for the room, but it never seemed to make the close up sound bad. I cant say that for any other cab ive owned. Then again, its a pretty unique cab, and does have a driver aimed at your head.

Same here. This is one of the big reasons I’ve always used wireless, as the rooms we have played in can be very hard to judge on stage, or even on the dance floor in front of it. I like to wander around the room and make sure I’m not too boomy or jumping out of the mix. Of course without the guitarist doing this, a d mucking about all gig with his rig, it’s sometimes a waste of time.

The Q/strip is pretty wonderful for EQ, but amazing for proper tone shaping. The issue i had with it was too many great tones in it, i needed a programable version. This made it hard to settle on any one tone, and as i had my BDDI as well life was complicated, so to make life easier i stopped using it.

Pretty much every gear thread on Basschat that starts “I need….” then 😂

I loved my Q/Strip. In fact i brought it back after selling it. Its now gone permanently, but i wouldn’t hesitate to get another (used though). The HPF is nice to have but its not adjustable and set quite tame for bass. Nice to have that extra protection though, but might not make a huge difference.

Ive not used it myself, just looked up going by the specs. Its been mentioned in here that the Helix doesn’t actually need all that power, others are using less to drive them (like on pedalboards). I believe L6 said they wanted to use a larger plug so people don't go plugging in lesser PSU’s. There is no really need to have it that other other than this reason. Ive used an extension lead connected to my one (when i had it), so the barrels are standard, just not standard in the music industry. Think it was a CCTV power cable extender i got.

What about Amazon? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Power-Supply-Replacement-DC-3G-ADAPTER/dp/B0843QVL8X/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=dc+9v+power+supply+line+6&qid=1630673510&sr=8-6

The bassist in my other band is like that. He doesn't even touch the EQ on the amp. Very strange seeing him set up in under a min when we rehearse.

Ive used the first version a few times at my mates place. Until you actually put them on its hard to see what the fuss is about. Im not convinced id ever use them over a normal set of phones and a B1-Four etc, but there is more than just a gimmick going on. The new version seems better though. A bit too pricey for me though. My iPad and headphones do everything i need. I believe Dave Swift is endorsing them now.

The one show on bbc1 are going to be talking to them live in bit..
