I have the HA-1 and find it’s an elegant solution.

If it comes down to a pissing contest , I’m normally pushing 700 watts. I usually run it at around three. Before it gets bad the BL will normally call for the drummer to give us a rimshot , which is a cue to drop the dynamic.

We look after my 99 yr old mother-in-law , and I have a little practice nook set up at her place. Not a big room , carpeted , and I practice at a pretty quiet volume. So I find the C2 is a great little cab for that … but for rehearsal with a drummer it won’t cut it , my little Barefaced One 10 will deliver that without breaking a sweat. I just picked up the Darkglass m200 and look forward to using it at the next rehearsal. I have other bigger stuff for gigging.

Thank you , ghostwheel I run a little red C2 cab for home practice as well. Most often with a Darkglass e500. I’ve found the C2 wonderful for quiet practice , but not suitable for rehearsal or gigs with other players. It doesn’t fill a room.

Welcome Sarah. Here’s hoping you’ll find some players.

Welcome to the forum. I’d love to see a pic of your amp.

How was Your rehearsal last morning or night ?
msb replied to nilorius's topic in General Discussion
I was initially quite shocked to realize I had absolutely no idea that there was such a thing going on. And had been going on for ages. -

The bluegrass scene is quite the subculture. Between Maine and New Brunswick the real diehards here are off to a festival to go camping most weekends throughout the summer. I was introduced to it some years back and had no idea it was such a thing. -

I like the look of that , mind you I have a couple of short scale Gibsons. But that looks very nice! -

I was in a similar situation for years. I’d get a rehearsal tape … we might try the material at soundcheck , or just have a go at it. We were always adding material. -
I hit a point in my 30’s where I decided that I was done travelling and was only taking gigs in town. The circuit was a misery. I was tired of the road food and the hours sitting in a van. It was a good call.

This Trace Elliot ELF never ceases to amaze me!!!!

I’ve found you have to sit right in front of the C2 , it’s directional , doesn’t really fill a room. However it’s perfect for quiet practice. -

I’ve just used adaptors with 1/4 in speaker cables -
My Dano Longhorn still has the factory strings , it’s from the first batch of reissues so they’ve been on since 98 or so. I have some TI flats on a 4001 that are probably five or six years older. I think the strings on an old 72 Pbass might be older. I’m mostly playing short scales now so it’s unlikely I’ll be changing any of those now , I have a set of LaBella flats set aside in case I lose a winding or break a string on the Dano.

Lovely stuff! I enjoyed that. thank you

A couple of little practice amps , my practice nook at the in-laws. Darkglass m200 over a One10 , e500 over a C2 , couple of Gretsch basses , couple of Gibsons. I recently picked up the Elf and the m200 so I’ve been bouncing between them. Couple of old Yamaha NE-1 preamps too.
-
And the lost has been found , recently updated my IPad and had to re-log into the Darkglass Suite to access my library. All 131 presets I’d created are still there. I should trim that back to maybe 25 and then create maybe a dozen new ones!
-
The Darkglass Suite is the software that runs the Exponent amp. There are just under two dozen pedals and effects and over forty cab sims within the Suite you can use to create a preset. I program my amp with an IPad. It’s actually quite intuitive and simple to run. And you can literally make the amp do just about anything. Including a nice rich classic thump. You can load five presets for use and quickly change between them , and supposedly store any amount in your library. But my library was empty.
-
My preset library is empty , just the space where my presets have been stored. And the five presets I had loaded no longer have names. So I renamed the five I had stored , and saved them to my preset library. Those are now there. Anyone using the Suite notice any changes or weird stuff? It’s not the end of the world , I’ll just start creating new ones and try to be a little more organized labelling and storing them. But if I had been depending on access to that library I’d be screwed.

Mostly old school blues , but a good range of grooves over a night. Bergantino cabs , I mostly play mid sized rooms where there’s just vocals in the PA , the stage sound is the room sound. I have HDN 112 and 210 cabs but most of the time I’ll just bring a 112 , more than adequate.

You’re indeed a trooper , Burrito. Here’s hoping that bug will fade.
