I also cut the VLE filter out completely. I have the same amp head for small gigs and while that suits the fretless honk I find it works against the lowend creating a distorted muddy low mid sound. Try turning VLE down to zero and use the regular EQ to out back in whatnot take out (VPF adds bass and treble but cuts mids). So maybe turn up the bass a little? Shep

However if I deleted every post in the two threads discussing this sale that stated the seller, or buyer was anything but a sensible, genuine person there would be no thread left. Language has been 'reasonable' and as the situation looks to be resolving itself now I trust no more harsh words will be thrown around and we can all leave it at that... ... Or we'll break out the whoop-ass!

Thanks dude. A few sound snips of the effects from last night - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtopic=72012&view=findpost&p=1116543"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&sho...t&p=1116543[/url] Bear in mind that we're only a 2 piece so if it's not drums then it coming from those pedals...

Couple of shots from last night off a mates camera. Had a pro photographer down who had some AWESOME pics of the gear as well which I'll get back [s]last[/s] next week... And from the Audience view

Thanks Si, your the man! A few snips from last night that friends took, not stunning, but through decent Hi Fi speakers you get a bit of the sub etc… [url="http://s61.photobucket.com/albums/h44/pantherairsoft/Our%20Helical%20Mind/?action=view&current=SAM_1325.mp4"]http://s61.photobucket.com/albums/h44/pant...nt=SAM_1325.mp4[/url] [url="http://s61.photobucket.com/albums/h44/pantherairsoft/Our%20Helical%20Mind/?action=view&current=SAM_1326.mp4"]http://s61.photobucket.com/albums/h44/pant...nt=SAM_1326.mp4[/url] [url="http://s61.photobucket.com/albums/h44/pantherairsoft/Our%20Helical%20Mind/?action=view&current=SAM_1330.mp4"]http://s61.photobucket.com/albums/h44/pant...nt=SAM_1330.mp4[/url] Shep

Si, you are a gentleman and far too kind. Appreciate you coming along as well. The turnout was a little smaller than expected, bit with the 50mph wind outside I'm not that surprised. The reception was stunning and pretty much getting mobbed afterwards by DJ's wanting to do some remix and/or collaboration work made us feel like we did something right. I think the extra studio time put in before hitting the live scene has paid off... Getting that dynamic as a 2 piece without samples or midi has been tough and the material written in the last few months (like the first 2 tracks last night) are clearly a step forwards for us. The promoter tells me the Venue manager wants to book us for more events this year and we have a few things on the boil with some pretty big clubs so fingers crossed. A week today until we hit the studio so next time you see us live Si, bring a few extra quid to buy a CD Shep

How was my gig last night (Friday)?... Well... Simply the best gig I've ever played. The sound was amazing, the response was like nothing we've ever had before. I'm off to bed feeling proper chugffed with myself Thanks to Phil.I.stein for popping along as well!

We just finished soundcheck and we got a crazy vibration off the bass drum skin that shook the whole place. Registered as 20hz and it was painful. Whilst it is cool while setting up for a drum and bass gig I don't think I'd want exposure to it for that long

[quote name='phil.i.stein' post='1114672' date='Feb 3 2011, 10:42 PM']is there anything that will deliver down to 20 hz ? for synth/dubstep tones a sub-sub woofer ?[/quote] To be fair, anything around 45hz-50hz still has a huge stomach shaking sub to it, not sure 20hz would be very healthy on the body at volume!

Defo not going to get to see you I'm afraid. We're on between 11 and 11.30... so super late... but being late for my own gig may not go down well Have a gud' un'

[quote name='cheddatom' post='1112380' date='Feb 2 2011, 01:39 PM']I'm working on my band's new album Friday night which is why I can't make it. I'll look forward to the recordings then! I'd quite like to try recording some of this stuff myself actually. Let me know if you ever fancy some free demos, I have a fairly nice recording set-up coming on (although my mixing's coming on slower!!).[/quote] Never turn down the opportunity for free recording - we shall arrange something!

Well if you can't make it Friday (we're on about 11), then a couple of weeks later we'll have a 'real' recording. The prospect of doing an EP with a damn good engineer (Johnny Carter/Ex-Pitchshifter) again and capurting how we really sound rather than these horrid 'mic in a room' demo's is pretty exciting. Shep

[quote name='DanOwens' post='1111995' date='Feb 2 2011, 08:33 AM']I very rarely use delay, Shep. On my DL4 I have a simple tape delay, a heavy modulated delay and the Line 6 Sweep Delay. How/why do you use it so extensively? Dan[/quote] I use few types of delay in various lengths from short reverb type delays to longer modulation ones. I find tones to be realistically synth like if they do now instantly decay. Obviously at times that's why you want, but to be able to release a note and have it fade, or quietly repeat adds lots and lots of depth. It also means I can use both sides of my effects set up via an LS2, playing from channel a and swapping to b as the first sound delays over the too of it, giving the effect of 2 instruments overlapping... Which is a much more 'synth' than 'bass' characteristic. About 50% of the tracks we play are only achievable due to delay creating the dynamics. Sure it isn't for everyone, but for me it's a mainstay of my sound Shep

[quote name='fatgoogle' post='1111718' date='Feb 1 2011, 10:20 PM']Many thanks for all the info. At the moment i have a Ashdown drive +, EBS octaabss and a zvex fuzz factory on my table being made slowly. Im thinking saving for the moog LPF will give me the basic sound to work with at the moment. Or is their any other basic essentials i should look for??[/quote] Some form of LFO, such as chorus or trem to add some 'wobble' and depth and I'd say your good to go. Everything after that becomes luxury. For me, delay is important too, but I know others disagree with this. I could happily gig with OC2, Corvid Fuzz, Unichorus, Moog LPF, DD20…. which is about a third of my regular set up.

[quote name='fatgoogle' post='1111369' date='Feb 1 2011, 06:07 PM']Been listening to some Miloopa and it is amazing. Those showcase video's of bond on youtube are amazing. And DanOwens for future reference would you say midi is essential for dubstep type musi9c. It seems both you and bond use midi, but john davis doesnt.[/quote] Neither do I. I have been tempted very very often, but something about doing it all analog, even though some stuff is bloody hard is very rewarding. Midi is very useful but right now, not for me. My board is very close to Bond's, with the swap around of a few pedals, but missing the midi. Useful (and a very powerful tool) - yes. Essential - no.

Dans recordings ate awesome. Ours are a mic in a room! Lol Actually it was your review of the LPF that finally persuaded me to add it to my set up. Thank god I did!
