    One thing that generally annoys the pish out of me is folks in an fx forum telling me I don't need any. Should be a rule about that.
  2. Downunderwonder
    Definitely not a chicken and egg situation. Twits came long before Twitter.

    The bass gear mag joker Tom Bowlus did a big review. He pumped up two with an 800w Quilter and reckoned he was getting to use most of it, to good effect. Beats me why Peavey/Trace have been so long bringing out a big brother for Elf.

    Get an EUB for kicks?

    It's commonly accepted over at Talkbass that the 2x8 puts out like a good old 2x10. That being the case a pair ought to be enough to get the soundman telling you to turn down.

    It's impossible to quote repairs without diagnosis. It could be a loose connection, likely minimal charge. It could need all the transistors replacing.... For the money he's asking you could tear the amp out and you've got a slightly heavy cab for 40 quid until the next time you're passing Ashdown HQ.
  7. Downunderwonder
    Amp makers vary. At least pedal makers fell in line a little bit with R to L even if jacks are on top or at rear.

    That's a whole different song you're singing. OP has a complaint of too much low mid and not enough spank on the high end. I'm of the opinion turning those filters down to zero is a good place to start playing with the EQ. They are very powerful.
  9. Downunderwonder
    Flat for the filter knobs is off = 0 Many people assume incorrectly that noon in keeping with the EQ knobs is neutral. So that is why I point it out from time to time.
  10. Downunderwonder
    Pedals that only give you the advertised tone when served up with a massive volume boost.
  11. Downunderwonder
    Turn the filters to 0/10 is a good start.
  12. Downunderwonder
    Easier to do the battery test if you ask me.

    Zycogastria is a fictional descriptor found in two places on the internet, Basschat and an identically named thread on..... TalkBass.
  14. Downunderwonder
    And sun.

    Some have a dodgy amp to chassis ground via a star washer that rusts. When that happens the amp blows up in a bad way. I think it's only on the bi-polar 'bear' version.

    Dual band compression makes it an SMX, most likely a 250, being smaller than your MkV. Peavey really goofed when they left out the EQ Balance in the new stuff, if you ask me.
  17. Downunderwonder
    If memory serves, what you have there is a Series 6. If you don't need no fancy compressors I think the SMX might only impress by virtue of less weight, no less LAF. The 'EQ balance' is quite handy sometimes.
  18. Downunderwonder
    Pretty sure there's better deals out there but it's not as if they are making any more of them. Courier would indeed make it uneconomic quickly.
  19. Downunderwonder
    ...ya know it's gonna be...alright.

    Most people put the tuner first. Comp before / after envelope is a personal choice. Generally an octave goes before other stuff so it always gets a clean signal. On the other hand you might like glitchy octave after envelope. Once you figure those out you can try inserting drivey stuff and see what you like.
  21. Downunderwonder
    Out of the way but where I can get to them. Given I usuually have little space to work with, and even less control over it, that is challenging sometimes. More usually preamp stuff is on top of the amp/ cab but all iterations are in the playbook.
  22. Downunderwonder
    The authentic modules are made in China too Must be a very convenient lie they tell you to justify their 'competitive' pricing structure.
  23. Downunderwonder
    Sansamp Deluxe has an fx loop. I can't remember if it is pre or post the Drive. Google ain't what it used to be.
  24. Downunderwonder
    If you are habitually digging in hard you are naturally extremely compressed right off the bat. The dynamic range between digging in hard(ish) and digging in (really) hard is a fraction of what's available.
  25. Downunderwonder
    On the other hand what I suggested originally is very doable. You find a inefficient bass driver and you could easily be 6dB less sensitive than your Bigfoot, right off the bat, ie same loudness with 4x the power. The tricky bit would be handling the 300W and discerning power tube breakup from speaker breaking.
