Stoner/DOOM Bassists thread part 36 - Old School Death Metal Wannabes - Page 9

Has anyone else had a hard time with a venue?

I mean, if you book a show, would you expect to be listed on the wrong date on the venue's website? Would you know other bands have confirmed and still see TBA? Have you ever seen times listed on the site but nothing as to doors or show time? And lastly, not knowing what the cover charge is going to be? Oh venues, I was missing you.

Wating for all that info so we can make a flyer to hang up around town.

Lookin good!!! Loved the gut shots you posted on FB. Even with something as simple as this you don't skimp on the small things.

Both of my cabinets are 4ohm, which if plugged straight into the head would result in a 2ohm load due to the outputs being parallel, which is no good as it would cause an impedance mismatch and probably lead to a melt down of the head. So you take this series / parallel speaker box, and I can plug both of these cabs into it in series mode, and instead of halving the impedance it doubles it, resulting in a single 8 ohm load which i can then plug into the 8ohm out of the head and use both cabs without causing a meltdown.

Something kind of open and airy? (I'm debating with a bandmate over a section in a tune)

Welcome to the thread!!!! I wouldn't scream blasphemy, if Yob can do it and still be one of the heaviest bands evah, its good with me.

The best thing about rock and roll is that there are no rules.

Stay on top of the promoter or owner. Sounds pretty typical of bar owners to me though. I consider them to be anything but useful.

Hah, thanks for all the support. I've been lurking around this thread for ages - figured it was time to actually use my TB account. Good call on Yob, the only two things I remember from the last time I saw them was - Aaron has a sick tone, and everything just flowed well.

Toastfuzz · #**167** 11-20-2012, 07:17 AM

I've got 2 fresh 15"s, 2 fresh 12"s, 3 empty cabs, and a long Holiday weekend. These cabs are f***ing getting done

The whole band has amazing tone and flow. That's one of the reason's i love them. Their dynamic is mind blowing and their presence is mind altering. Such good stuff.

My board is looking terrible

Lazarus.Bird · #**172** 11-20-2012, 08:02 AM

Still has more pedals than mine does

Ancient Tone · #**174** 11-20-2012, 08:06 AM

Awwww that board looks sooooooo sad. I hope its just getting redone!

ampegfuzz · #**175** 11-20-2012, 08:11 AM

I was in the basement yesterday night testin the Gk thru the 115 and I seen my board and was taken back at how bad its in dismay. Going to try to put it back together this weekend.

father of fires · #**176** 11-20-2012, 08:11 AM

I'm really trying to get buy with one battery powered pedal to avoid the need for a pedal board. I've actually stopped using a tuner (except for gigs) for this exact reason.

When I do use a tuner I leave my pedals on top of my amp and just walk back and forth to activate them.

I'm in the process of being gouged by my vet and the bleeding hasn't stopped yet so all of those cool pedals and power supplies I was looking at are now a distant memory.

Lazarus.Bird · #**177** 11-20-2012, 08:24 AM

I know nothing about these amps, but they look pretty awesome. Anyone looking to get into the tube game at a low price might have interest in this: FS: RARE all tube Trace Elliot goodness! Hexavalve and Twinvalve!

dunwichamps · #**178** 11-20-2012, 08:24 AM

ask demon666 all about his Trace Elliot

So I tried stacking delay pedals last night at practice. I use delay for the intro/outro of one song, just scraping and noise for ambient effect. I wondered what would happen, and it actually produced some very cool, somewhat dizzying effects. I think I'm going to try to incorporate it, but it's going to be a bit of a tap dance turning off two delays, then hitting the dirt pedal in time to hit my cue.

This will solve that issue for you:

Clean/Dirty Loop Switcher™ w/Combinable Loops

Put your dirt in loop one, put your delays in loop two. You can then use the 1/2 switch to toggle between them with one step, or hit the combine switch to use them just like you would normally.
