0175westwood29 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) So im thinking of moving my preamp of my board to a little unit above my amp. looking at two currently..... as they around the same money it might be i end up getting both and one turns into doing my sub channel? (probs the ashdown) i know and love the ctm preamp had a ctm 100 for a few years great sounding thing! but im intrested in the flexabilty the 2112 has i know there is some baked in eq but i dont mind that i also really like the drive sounds (shame they are on a fs) Guess my only question is does anyone have either of these? in my mind im tthinking of mixing the two di's from the geddy before sending to foh ( my board already has 2 Di out 3 if you count my amp sim) and i could be wrong but im guessing i can run out of the fx loop send into the front of an amp on the ctm?

Lozz196 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 “I know and love the CTM preamp” says to me you have to go with the Ashdown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0175westwood29 Posted June 24, 2023 Author Share Posted June 24, 2023 The ashdown is a known factor for sure! But I’m intrigued by the sansamp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sifi2112 Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 (edited) I was disappointed with the GED2112 .. too fuzzy for my liking, guess I was expecting a Darkglass X7 esque gritty sound but alas it didn’t deliver for me. Yes two separate outputs for either two poweramps or left / right single poweramp with maybe hi / lo cabs. I think there’s an internal dip switch to run them in parallel though. Pity I couldn’t get it to work for me coz I already own two great poweramps .. the Ashdown looks interesting … Edited June 24, 2023 by sifi2112 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 The Ashdown is interesting to me too. I doubt I’ll ever get one as I have a Helix, but I’m still very interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've still got 2 of those (Peavey and Ampeg) and had the Trace GP12 SMX as the front-end of a Trace head. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0175westwood29 Posted July 6, 2023 Author Share Posted July 6, 2023 well I can confirm this setup doesn’t suck!! need to test out with my board but atm bass straight into the 2112 uneffected out into the ctm pre. All three di go into the Behringer mixing them down into a single di might fit a little mixer I. The back of the rack for a in ears mix of the lot. Or even save up for a two notes torpedo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never understood why so many Mac users seem to be content having having the dock at it's enormous default size and positioned permanently at the bottom of the screen.
