EBS_freak Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 [quote name='shizznit' timestamp='1334059821' post='1610233'] I might have an issue with my Reidmar. At loud volumes it's cutting out when I slap...as if it was hitting a limiter. It has only started to happen over the past couple of weeks. Even when the compressor/limiter control is off it still happens. Has anyone come across this yet? It could be that I am pushing the amp to its full capability, but it's a concern nonetheless.

Ghost_Bass Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Well, my first experience with the Reidmar ended with me returning it to the shop and getting a Neo 112 instead. I found that i needed more headroom and not more power. After trying to find excuses to keep it with me i left it up to the band to decide wich amp should i keep. I reheased with both amps and the decision and everybody prefered the 9.0. The reidmar has more of everything in comparison with the shuttle, it has more power, more bass and more high but that extra bass was muddying my band's sound even after i rolled off the bass knob, the GB just has a tighter low end. another point for the GB was that i can get my sound with it set flat, on the Reidmar i had to reach for the Eq instantly. Playing alone the Reidmar sounds better but in the mix the GB cuts trough better and is more defined. I still want a Reidmar in my arsenal for those occasions when i'm playing an outdoor gig and need that extra power but the cab is more important for now because my midget is still on the production cue. I'll be checking the sales forum to see when they start to pop up in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] That's what's bugging me. No matter what settings I have its happening. Even when I turn off the character or filter controls. Nothing wrong with my cabs...they work perfectly with my HD350 at the same volume. I have used the amp at a higher volume before and it didnt do it then. Tried different basses with the same result. My drummer was asking me to turn up, but I couldn't because the amp was cutting out. My backline volume is never that loud because he is a light drummer, so I am quite worried. If I can't get my head around it I might have to give Ralph @ EBS a bell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I should have said that i found that i need more cone area than amp power, my single Neo 110 isn't enough for a live gig and the 9.0 has enough power to drive the cabs to the volume i need on stage.

Musicman20 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Wow, you can use a single 10" for a gig?! Are the band acoustic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_Bass Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Nope, we're a funk/soul project! We have our own PA, bass amp is only for stage monitoring (and i should add that my drummer doesn't slaughter his drum), don't you guys use PA!!!

Ghost_Bass Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 We did a 200+ gig last friday, i used GB and the Neo 110 (112 still on it's way) and i could hear my bass perfectly but in those harder moments i can't tell if i'm pushing the cab too hard so i decided to get another one so that i won't take the risk of damaging the 110 before the midget arives (when i gat the midget it will also be used alone if i fancy it over the EBS ones). I like to travel light! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 A Neo 110 with even the quietest drummer would be (as a good friend of mine would say) fart city. The laws of physics and acoustics must be different in Portugal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whynot Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Slightly off topic, but I turned up at a gig with my Line 6 110 combo having been told there was PA support so only needed a monitor for myself. Turns out no PA support. Stuck my 1x10 combo next to the drummer thinking disaster, but was suprised to hear the bass loud and clear and told was fine all round the room. 6 piece band. Must admit band not particularly loud and not a masive room but 100+ people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't dial sub-bass on my sound and i don't push the bass boost on my GB and i can still hear more than enough bass, in fact i have more bass from the Neo 110 than i ever had from the Shuttle 12T cab!!! If i wanted to make the walls shake and roofs collapse i would have stick it my old Trace Elliot rig... As for the laws of physics i prefer to take the best advantage of them rather to go on overkill mode... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oopsdabassist Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 OK back on topic, just bought myself one of these as a small light backup for my Eden, TBH I can see me using the Reidmar instead, it is AWESOME loud, can't wait for 1st rehearsal with it tomorrow!

NJE Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I have had my Reidmar a few weeks now and I am really loving it. Last night my Drummer even commented how much more alive my bass and cab sounded with the Reidmar compared to my old Markbass. I hate to say it because it was a genuinely solid and good amp but my old Markbass LM2 just doesnt even compare to the EBS. One thing I would like to see from EBS though.....a proper case or bag for it! every other amp company makes a case for their small heads.

Oopsdabassist Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I got a foam insert carry case thingy from Maplins and trimmed to suit, also takes my multi effects pedal, and mike gear too. After rehearsal today All I can say is WOW! I can see the Eden taking a rest for the foreseeable future as this thing is the dogs danglies lol. Seemed to inmpress the rest of the band too, especially the guitarists with their '2 hand lift' all valve heads hehe! NJE I A/B'd the Reidmar against a littlemark III and I reckon it was waaaay better, and nearly half the price!!...and not yellow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Hehe!! That's the only thing I didn't like about the LMIII I had. Looked like it was designed for ages 4-8yrs! I still think they are great sounding amps though.

shizznit Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 The issue with my Reidmar cutting out came down to the Ampeg B410HLF cab I was using for a couple of weeks. I messed up the attenuator crossover which was why the cab (not the amp) was cutting out at high volumes. I used my EBS Pro 410 with the Reidmar at ear bleeding volumes at rehearsal the other night and all was good. I also used it at a gig with a Neo 210 last weekend and it didn't skip a heart beat.

tividalebass Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Got to say a loving my reidmar with ebs 410 proline, was thinking of the classic cab but these weighty 410 go for such little money these days managed to get mine for the price of 1 classic cab, was a no brainer really. Wifey was not impressed at first but the sound soon won her round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franzbassist Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) This may seem like a bizarre question, but how tall are the feet on the Reidmar (i.e. what's the clearance under the amp?) Edited May 14, 2012 by walbassist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_Bass Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 But you can change them for taller ones! I'm guessing you have the same problem most of us have, to place the head on top of a cab where the manufacturer cleverly (or not) designed a handle... don't know why they keep doing that f******g sh**t, it's so easy to do a recessed handle like the ones on the Promethean gear...
