I have a B6 that I use with my QSC 12.2 as backline and monitoring, much better IMO than a backline amp. Anyway, that's another discussion... The only issue I have is fine tuning overall volume control. I have plenty of headroom, but I don't like to control overall volume on the bass and can't be going behind the QSC or bending down mid-song to alter the volume on the B6. The B6 has a master output volume control for each patch assigned to the right side button (the 4 encoders under the screen) - if I connect a volume pedal to the B6 (I have an old Bespeco one that still works), will that default to controlling this volume control or will I have to assign it in the patch? I just want it to control this volume output globally, I'm not interested in wah control or anything, just for volume so I hope that if I plug it in it will default to this control automatically. Anyone tried this? I haven't tried it yet, will do when I get time, I just wondered if was as simple as I hoped! I use a Bespeco expression pedal connected to the 'Control In' jack on the B6. This is assigned to a 'Master Volume' which sits as an effect in the patch. I don't know of a global option. You could achieve the global volume control using a volume pedal in the signal chain.

The gig was a restaurant/bar full of people which meant we couldn't do any semblance of a full sound-check, unfortunately. Quick line check, levels and off to the races. It was a mess for a few songs, but eventually things settled in. I found that making on-the-fly changes on the B6 was pretty easy when time allowed. The B6 was great in terms of sound, and the high visibility of the touch screen is really a substantial upgrade that I only really appreciate now that I've gigged the unit. Huge HUGE gripe is the switching of banks while in MEMORY mode. Far too much tap dancing needed to simply go up/down one bank (and I only really need 3 banks for all my sounds). Instead, I opted for the bank up/down arrows on the touch screen in MEMORY mode. Would rather not have to reach down to the pedal to do this, but better than doing the riverdance. All-in-all, though, a very positive experience, even under difficult circumstances and in a venue with not-so-good acoustics. Has anyone come up with a solution to the lack of bank switching in memory mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
