    Not sure if you are allowed to post links, but I recently bought this and it works a treat. 8 isolated 9V, one 9V high current (500mA), one 12V and one 18V.

    Really cheap too and it comes with all the cables you need. No background noise at all even with 7 pedals on at the same time.

    Sansamp BDDI XLR output - Stupid question

    in Effects

    Posted

    I have a gig next Friday and I'll send the bass signal only into mixer and PA system..I have either a Tech 21 Sansamp BDDI and a programmable BDDI just arrived today which I will use, so I know I could send my signal to the mixer using the XLR output.

    My stupid question is: since I use other pedals in the chain AFTER the Sansamp, I guess these would not be sent to the PA if I use the xrl output from the sansamp in the middle of the chain? In this case, would i necessarily need to have to Sansamp at the end of my chain to send all the pedals?

     

    Second stupid question..if what I just wrote it's true, can I alternatively send my signal to the mixer and PA through regular jack cable from the last pedal of my chain? Are there significant differences in terms of quality or advantages between XRL and quarter jack cable?

     

    Thanks

    Monster effect pedal power supply

    Selling this beast of a power supply for effect pedals. I commissioned many years ago in Italy to MEA Handmade, which at the time made the best homemade pedals and power supply units. Unfortunately I don't have anymore the specifications, but I have just sent an email to the manufacturer and if he gets back to me I will update this post.

    It has 15 9V outputs, I connected up to more than 10 pedals while all on and it didn't have any problem supplying them, no hiss or background noise.

    The unit is quite large, 17x10.5x5.5 and it comes with adapter to work on UK sockets, used it this way many times with no problem at all.

    If I remember I paid over 90 euro at the time, I'm asking 20 pounds as I am not using it anymore.

    Collection from central London or I can post.

    Proud owner of a MIM Classic 50 Precision. I bought it already upgraded with Delano pickups, really love the sound and feeling. I pick it up after months and it's still in tune B|

    No! Don't do that! Have both!

    I love my Classic 50s... that is the classic Precision sound and I love it. The Model T of course can do a similar sound if you wanted to, but not quite the same. It's a different and very cool take on it.

    Problem is I don't have enough space to keep another bass in the flat, and I couldn't justify spending 700 on another bass with the missus... I guess I'll keep an eye for a  second hand one :ph34r:

    Compressor Input, Output and metering

    The input decides how loud you want to be when hitting the threshold and start compression.

    Sorry, I still struggle to understand this. Does it mean that at a lower input the compressor will start working at a lower volume, or vice versa? Or i guess I can just use the metering leds to figure outat what volume it starts working?

    I have a MXR M87 Bass Compressor. I understand the Ratio, Release and Attack controls, but I struggle to understand how I should use the Input and Output controls based on the compression metering (leds at the top).

    I guess you adjust the Output only based on the volume you want the pedal to give you, but how do you adjust the Input? Should it be so that when you play the leds are normally in either the green, yellow or red area?
