    I had an M700 as my main amp for about 5 yrs. the Simone is such a great sounding unit too. I know people rave about the Noble as a tube DI but Simone is a better value unit and although it’s a bit bigger I don’t know why more folks aren’t raving about them. In terms of value for money/features/tone Simone is the winner.

    Mine hides underneath the pedal board as last thing in the signal chain. I take a DI off my Simone which goes into the desk via a DG Element. This way I can add more high pass if needed but have my IR’s set to be sounding good as is.

    You’re right and it’s unfair to chime in on the weight. I have other heads from this era. Powerful punchy and they do have weight to them in terms of the sound. My fender 800Pro is about 14kg and it’s entirely manageable. These class A/B or what ever they are really do sound so good!

    If it wasn’t for the weight. 🙄

    I’ve asked on here once or twice what sort of sounds are folk actually getting out of some of these exotic boards and I know most folk are being creative and doing lots of interesting stuff but I never really get board envy. I’m a simple drive and comp guy and this is reflected in my board and mediocre playing 😀

    I don’t play at ear splitting volume or anyhing like that but I do notice the difference with the amp behind me. In one venue we have a sound tech and when I run a cleaner FOH and a dirty amp she always maintains it’s a better bass sound than other bands who play the same room. She’s very conscious of balancing the drums and stage with her foh mix so I know I’m not blasting my amp. I like having the amp behind me and I’ll likely continue to have it as it works for me. I use iems and we don’t have guitar amps on the stage. It’s been experience/experimenting that’s led me to this set up. It works for me.

    What?

    I use iem’s but still like an amp behind me tickling the back of the legs! If I pop out the iem I get a nice sense of the drums and bass with the foh giving me enough guitar and vocals. I might only pop the iem’s out on a few occasions but it’s nice to have that ‘live’ vibe from amp and drums it’s not super loud just enough to feel it.

    Such a wonderful p bass.

    From JHS Colourbox v.2 VERSION HISTORY V1 = Smaller enclosure; no “shift” EQ knobs; seven knobs total. V2 = Larger enclosure; ten knobs total; added Hi/Lo Toggle; passes phantom power. Output transformer addition. The most significant improvements are: Addition of an Output transformer Safely Passes 48V Phantom Power EQ Shift Knobs for precision EQ control Hi/Lo Switch for ultra clean headroom 100% available clean signal even on acoustic guitar Silent switching, aka no "switch-pop" Runs on standard 9V DC Neg power

    I’d just presumed it was MAS Audio. Goes to google Ampeg v9

    Absolute tank of a DI

    The 1176 needs a bass demo!

    Price includes U.K. shipping. Nabbed a few weeks back as I was very keen to try one. I wanted to try running a compressor in the di out signal path but have decided it’s overkill. Experimentation completed. I’ll add a link as it’s quite a feature set on this guy but will say the extra tone options make it more than just a stand out compressor- using the 2kHz setting with my P bass brings in a fantastic upper mid sizzle just where it matters and can really enhance the bass playing live. I love a little bit of 2kHz. https://empresseffects.com/products/bass-compressor While this is a killer unit I’m sticking with my hyper luminal as I use the different compressor ’modes’ with different basses and have a setting preset for each bass for during my set - it’s just more practical for my needs to stick with what I have. And finally a killer review from Hondo!

    Very underrated chorus. Easy to recall presets. Had one in an 80’s band for ‘that’ sound.
  18. krispn
    Two transformers - so you’re getting one always in the signal path and a second on the di. Version one always had the transformer in the circuit, v2 added another to the di out👍🏼

    Funk is a keeper for me. Advert updated.

    I’ve a couple of those LBA transformers hiding under my board and they do add a certain quality to the signal path.
  23. krispn
    Yeah still available.

    Bit off topic but I’ve been looking at camera bags/backpacks which have the compartments as a gig bag stuff carrier solution… not sure what would accommodate a mic stand too but fishing gear is a good start.
