MuseMatt Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I would love that as an EQ monitor.... just add an EQ underneath it and u can see where you might want to compensate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Yeah, compensatin does spring to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom skool Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 [quote name='Tengu' post='278228' date='Sep 5 2008, 08:47 PM']I was taught at college that VU stood for "virtually useless". Basically because the needle responds too slowly to give you a true indication of peaks. As a general guide I suppose it does just fine though. A simple clipping LED is far more useful but nowhere near as sexy.[/quote] virtually useles?! I find it essential to be able to see how fast i'm playing! Even if it does mean i play the whole time with my back to the audience! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pookus Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Ashdown VU gets the thumbs up from me. It works just fine and is an excellent visual marker for input gain. Works with the mute button on, so if anything goes wrong on stage, like you need to change bass or whatever, you can check input gain is ok without making a sound.

leschirons Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I think it's an ampere charging meter from a 1954 Austin Healey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
