    4-cable method: what am I doing wrong?

    Sorry, I do not understand why so many argued against the 4CM. The way you have set it up is correct, other cablings are not and should not be called 4CM. The 4CM is excellent IMHO and it gives me the best tones and lots of flexibility (my setup). What seems wrong is that the DI at the amp is...

    I resent the e-mail and got immediately a very kind answer from Chris Goodwin Customer Service Manager with Peavey. To my pleasure he thinks the amp can still be fixed, yet parts such as the preamp board would no longer be available and that the amp will have to be repaired on the component...

    So far no response. Maybe just some more patience needed. And BTW, I made some thorough testing: There are really several things wrong. E.g. the return signal plugged into MONO (or RIGHT/MONO) always leaks into the power amp, i.e. while being in SERIES MODE switching the effects loop on or off...

    Thanks for the hint. Will try.

    I own a wonderful TE tower consisting of AH1000-12, SN Box 1048H, and SN Box 1518. Some silly boys have played with it in the rehearsal room and now I lost control of the various settings, from the front of the amp or the Footswitch BFC-6. E.g. pressing the button to disengage or engage the...

    Have you checked phase cancellation? If the two lines are somehow out of phase, in the sum they cancel each other out. However, once in the amp, I understand that the two signals are actually mixed and become a single signal, right? Any phase cancellation took then already place in the mix. To...

    Zoom B6

    I guess you have plugged your B6 into the ordinary input on the amp? If yes no wonder you get a muddy tone as you are still using your preamp of the amp. To really profit from amp/cab sims you better connect your B6 to the return of the FX loop of your amp. This should give you sounds closer to...

    New: Zoom B3n Multi-Effects

    This improvement has little to do with analog vs. digital. The clear step forward in the sound quality from the B3 to the B3n is due to more sophisticated algorithms, i.e. improvements on only the digital side of things. Unfortunately, Zoom did those improvements not carry through on all parts...

    New: Zoom B3n Multi-Effects

    Shure, a global EQ that takes care of particular gig environment may be quite handy. Yet, in my experience, I preferred the better sound by using not two preamps in series. All the lack of clarity and quality in tone you seemed to be most worried I could get rid of with that arrangement. For me...

    Line 6 HX Effects

    Yes you can. I do that a lot and connect two different instruments (bass, e-cello) that way to my HX Effects. I use the HX Effects as a switch between the two instruments. Since levels differ, the most basic thing I need to do is use some amp effect only on one of the instruments. I use however...

    New: Zoom B3n Multi-Effects

    I agree somewhat to the arguments discussed here, but not fully. Let’s perhaps focus on the B3n. This device came out with the notion that updates in form of additional functionality would be added on a regular basis. In particular since the B3n offered much less effects than its predecessor...

    No idea. I have an e-cello. ;-) more here: Invalid Link Removed

    New: Zoom B3n Multi-Effects

    The nice website by Charlie may still offer some answers to what you are talking about: Zoom B3 In addition I remember we also had excellent analysis with all the frequency diagrams for cab simulations in one of the B3 threads (Zoom B3 As Preamp and Zoom B3 As Preamp Part 2) but I am afraid I...

    New: Zoom B3n Multi-Effects

    It depends also a lot how you use your B3n with an amp. Connecting the main output of the B3n with the main input of your amp, you have two preamps in series. In my experience this can easily make the overall sound muddy or otherwise not satisfying. I have therefore started using my B3 MS-60B...

    Line 6 HX Effects

    Using the computer may be the reason. Save the preset also on the HX Effects itself before switching or any other uses of the device. This may help.
