Sign in to disble this ad
hey guys,
i need some help. i looked online and i cant find the setting i am looking for. i am trying to get the amp set flat without any coloration. i know that the flat setting on the amp is not actually flat. could someone shine some light on this for me....trying to tweak it to work with my upright.
also, another question. if i plug a preamp into the back, will it bypass the pre on the amp. if so would it mess with the power management thing that the amp does....?
thanks,
evan

This will eliminate the use of the spectracomp, tuner, and tubetone, but will allow you to use the master volume, mute switch, and DI in post eq mode. I tried it a couple of days ago because I was wondering about it myself. The power managment is not affected.

That way you could still use the tuner and input gain and mute |

I think he's saying you can patch from the di out into the effects return on the rh450 to bypass the internal pre and still use the tuner function. This does not involve a second preamp. |

You could come out the di the into an external pre amp then into the effects return |
