got a TC  sub n up, pretty decent and you can download all sorts of presets so there's bound to be something to suit.

Christmas bash for one of my bands.

 

Love playing with this line-up.

 

 

sounded great,  Handbox? 

Especially enjoyed the little funk interlude around the 2:30 mark!

Heard Black Dog by Led Zep today in the gym and was thinking that would be a great song to learn.

Each extension plugged into the previous, with only one into the wall?  

not usually, there's 2 or 3 sockets in the walls, although we have done that on a couple of occasions with no problem. nothing gets switched on all at once!

I opted for a few 5 meter 6 way extension leads in black and put them around the band in a sort of ring so there's plenty of power sockets all around us for pedal boards, lights, PA and amps. So far so good, no blow outs yet and that's after quite a few gigs in dodgy pubs.

felt like it!

Gogo Penguin.

The only gig I've been to where I fell asleep standing up....

I'll stick with Reaper...

great solo, very tasteful.

I've been gigging with a Markbass CMD 121 this year and it's fantastic. Loud, punchy and light. 16kg

Worth a look ( and I was using an Ampeg SVT-CL previously)

If you've got an audio interface, you can also get a free trial of their helix plugin on the Line 6 website to try out the sounds a bit before you buy.

had a look, couldn't see it. Do you have a link? Thanks.

I generally make my own jack to jack (Van Damme/Neutrik) and buy XLR cables. I've used Lynx Cables on Ebay a few times, they're good.

Yeah custom lynx are great and very well priced, all our xlr and gtr leads are made by these guys, no problems, lots of gigs

This is an interesting one. The SSL 2+ has a big red button to turn on 4000 series console emulation, but it's just that: one button. There's no granularity and certainly no eq or blending of tones.

 

At $39 I'd be prepared to give the demo a go with a view to purchasing. Thanks for the pointer!

it has some great custom presets from a load of famous producers I've never heard of, but they sound great

I was about to suggest The Waves SSL EV2 plugin for $39 but then I see you're using the SSL Interface.

I'm also using reaper with The Audient iD4, this with the Waves SSL EV plugin gives some wonderful tones. Might we worth downloading the Demo to try?

I'm going to end up buying this, aren't I? I've wanted an all-valve head for some time now. PM incoming...

don't worry, as long as your back holds out you'll probably never go back

As per the title. Is anyone having success with this setup? I've looked around t'internet with no real luck.

Currently using a jamMan looper to trigger backing tracks but it's a bit of a faff to change key (and not instantaneous) 

I don't really want to lug a laptop to gigs, would rather use my phone or iPad, garageband would be perfect if it could work.

got my lad one of these, only paid around £90, he loves it. Apparently it comes with loads of decent synths. I got this one as it has better quality keys, most in the price range are a bit rubbish but these are more solid.

I have two cheapos which I love: an Aria digital reverb from the 80's and a Pearl CH-02 chorus, also from the eighties, which are absolutely terrific.

those Pearl pedals now fetch a good price.

Would it not change the impedance between bass and amp, and maybe help drive a long cable... bit like an active buffer?

isn't the Boss TU3 also an active buffer? I heard somewhere all boss pedals are buffers?
