How do you get the most out of your Akai Unibass? Guitaramp?

[Koffelito]

So tell me. What do you do with the effect out?

Effects?
Amps?

I have been known to put might through my flanger or chorus. I go straigth into my bass amp. I do not split the signal and go to two amps

[Koffelito]

Ok. But i think think i want to use a guitaramp also. Any hints on a cheap good tubeamp?

Fender Blues Jr. I love mine. Sounds great with the Unibass as well .

[bassbrad]

In a power blues trio I have been splitting my signal and sending one side thru:
UniBass>Zoom G1x> GK MLE>Mitchell 1x12 BW
mixed with my bass tones it is giving me some really satisfying sounds. The down side is the Mitchell is so heavy, it's the heaviest thing in the entire rig.

[Koffelito]

Thanks guys. I will look in to these suggestions. Keep em coming.

i used a nice little Epiphone Valve Jr. to good effect. put a fulltone bassdrive between teh unibass and guitar amp for some nicer crunch.

didnt sound 100% convincing, but it filled the band's sound during certain parts enough.

The valve junior heads go for around $150. Saw a new one on closeout at GC once for $50. Lot's of company's are getting into the low watt tube stuff and 'lunchbox' amps. Look around.

I've done effect out ->Vamp (or POD) -> Tech 21 Power Engine
or
Effect out -> PV Classic 30 1x12 all tube combo (this worked very nice).

I've just been using mine straight through to my bass amp. Ideally I would prefer to split signals, but have found a suitably cheap yet gig-worthy guitar amp to go into. I do love this pedal though. Using it with an envelope filter and big muff produces some very weird sounds - almost like screaming from the depths of hell.

I used mine with a small guitar combo pushed very loud. Inexpensive and worked wonders.
