I just used the built in camera on my iMac, recorded direct into GarageBand synced up in iMovie.

Great playing! You wrote that, right?

Monique's complex richness is evident even after the forms the files had to take for us to hear them. I'm saying that .wav files or live, Monique is just more astounding.

Thank you for the awesome clips! Great work!!

I feel I need to share a pic of the rig that's putting a smile on my face every day!

What I'm using is Monique into the effect return of the GK 2001RB into two GK Neo 212's. The MB800 is a spare power amp just in case. I also have the Warwick Hellborg preamp in there because I wanted to A/B it with Mon, but frankly, even after four days of shows, I have yet to turn it on. It's a great preamp, by all means, but for my personal tastes Monique is unbeatable!

I really couldn't be happier with my sound right now!

Geez! Wow! That is wonderful. And you've had her there less than a week.

Wait 'till you get her figured out.

Thank you very much.

Thanks for the compliments, here's a very quick demo just to show one of the things i love most about the monique. When I play her through my bergs, and start turning some knobs, i get an awesome chewy, growly, grunting low end, the envelope of the note really changes when you start changing eq and sensitivity, just awesome.

Wow again! Thank you for this. Now I need to hear more.

She likes it on the bottom. Great picture. Thank you.

Wish I could be there to catch the tour. "lykke til."

I followed up on your poster idea. Won't be long.

We've missed you.

Wow. Where have I been? I started researching this preamp out of curiosity being that my girlfriend's name is Monique. Now I'm completely intrigued! I think I'm pulling the trigger. This piece of gear should make her happy. I'll be reminded of her at every gig. Scoring points on both ends! How cool is that?

ezrs · #**851** 01-31-2013, 04:39 PM

Hey all, what is the weight of the wood Monique? And is there a padded gig bag for it?

Thanks!

Cool. When you break up can I have the pre amp?

(And her #)

You can tell her I have always thought it was a beautiful name.

Thanks!

Boxed and ready to ship, Bamboo Monique is 16 pounds.

Others will hopefully pipe in as to the gig bag. There are some good ones out there. Also, Linda at Studioslips.com has one available.

Jule,
Did you get a bamboo case for the Demeter Minnie? If so, do u have a pic? and how does it fit under the Monique pre?

Very cool. I think you'll be very happy with both Moniques. Well, I know you will with one, at least!

No pics yet. Still do not have Minnie in my shop. I'm ready.

It will happen soon. James is talking about shipping Feb 15 to folks who have already placed orders for the Minnie.

The Dove Cage cover now comes off a lot easier (for the tube-rollers out there) due to a bit of redesign. Don't even have to take the bottom or the handles off as before.

All the new ones will be like this. Another good customer idea.

Jean Baudin · #**859** 02-07-2013, 05:52 PM

Jule was kind enough to loan me out a Monique for a week... just picked it up and my initial reaction: WOW!!!!

Hoping to give it a shot at my show this weekend. Thanks Jule!

Tugboat · #**860** 02-07-2013, 06:08 PM

Ok...so....Monique is supposed to be here tomorrow, as per tracking. BUT,...18" of snow and 60 mph winds predicted starting early tomorrow morning. I'm worried about my girl.
