No guarantee an effected channel comes back in phase with the unaffected one whether it's biamped or mono mix.

Whitewash the south elevation. Shade the windows. Insulate the ceiling. Save on cooling effort by not letting it heat up in the first place.

Host of my regular open mic is a hua of a musician, guitarist singer, can't play fretless 5 string bass to save his life. Doesn't stop him trying after a few whiskeys. I figure it saves on other wannabes asking for a go.

Your problem changes from the lows to the mids when an effect that causes a large phase shift is used. Everything gets woolly. My old heavily effected rig got around the clean blend problem with a bunch of gear. I sent lows through unaffected and blended them back in with a phase adjustable blending system using three channels of a Wounded Paw blender. If you only use pedals that maintain phase you can skip the phase flipping but blending clean bass lows with effected skinny string guitar range is very fun. The other way to skin the cat is only use pedals that don't gut the lows. They are out there.

Methinks you are short on imagination and inexperienced in accompanying tambourine.

One would hope you have a dud. Can you test it with a known clean input to confirm the noise is coming from the unit?

What is the utility in defeating the Master Vol?

I find some jazz charts must be keyboardist written as they are ''correct'' but ''no bassist would play it like that''.

Only works when both pickups are on full. Humbuckers ftw.

Nobody is talking about first timers! It's the infrequent dabblers that drive us nuts. They think they can bass but they can't.

If you crank up your preamp output does it get LAF? There's your answer.

At least he's consistent. My drummer often accelerates through the count off then starts playing somewhere in the middle. When he uses his tablet gizmo app I get the tempo from that. If he isn't I have to cop his warm up to the count off. But dang he's a good drummer!

Not sure where you are going with this but a little story... Band's drummer was giving a lesson to a student as I rocked up to rehearsal. There was a backing track playing of a big band tune we do. I thought it was our band. The bass line was very much note for note with what I did improvising over the chord chart, before doing something a bit flashier. Bizzare.

Ya think?!!!

You should get a tech to examine the signal before assuming the noise is coming from the slave amp. If I was you I would break off the engagement to the Little Stubbie before this gets crazy.

If a little of the onboard does the trick I wouldn't be chasing another rabbit down a hole. What would a different comp achieve except adding too much compression when you already have just the right amount?

Work great for me. Former Etymotic user.

Hopefully it goes well and you make some gains in skills and confidence. Just in case it goes wrong, a little story... I had a lesson once when I was starting out, already playing out in bands and jams. It was from the guy I had learned the most from so far, by observation at his gigs. It turned out he could play and demonstrate but had no idea how to teach. 25 years on, I am doing ok. So if this lesson is a dud, don't be discouraged!

The first time I heard Mustang Sally it was The Commitments. Obviously it had to be a cover but dang it was a mighty raunchy contrast to the original when I finally heard it. Kids today probably think Johnny Cash wrote One, he did such a good job of owning it.

In my case, absolute trash worse than than the drunkest guitarist you ever heard. And I own a guitar that I hardly ever pick up. But that's exactly the point, guitar players that think they can bass because it's 'only a guitar missing the two top strings'! I doubt any I heard were first timers.

Jeez he has tidied up since that pic. I wonder if that's the wife?

Sounds like you skipped middle age and signed up for the geezerhood. Welcome Brother.

Exceptions prove rules. I have seen many a competent guitarist all at sea picking up my bass for a play. They would probably be fine if they had one at home and practiced on it but that's not who we are talking about.
