Ashdown Spyder send/return and preamp

Hi guys,

I have been playing ampless for the last two years. However, I have an Ashdown Spyder 330 and I wanted to experiment today with it. I plugged my bass to the amp and the send of the amp to my computer. The thing is, I thought the Gain should have affected the output, but it didn't. Actually, none of the controls seemed to affect the signal. It kinda sucks because I wanted to use that cool preamp with the power section of my RM500 (in the weird cases that the 330 wouldn't be enough). However, it doesn't seem it won't work.

I think I read somewhere that the effects send and return of the Spyder came before the preamp. Is that right?

Could you use the DI output for recording?

Would the 500 be that much louder than the 330?  Not sure what your setup is, but adding a second speaker cabinet will make things louder (if you're only using one at the moment).

Yes, I use the DI know. I was just curious about the send and return of the amp.

And yes, adding a second cab would be much more efficient, but I only have one cab now. But what you say it's true, there is no much difference
