    Radial Highline vs. Radial JDI for Pedalboard XLR Out

    Since the recent release of the Highline series by Radial, I'm wondering if this is better than the tried-and-true JDI for a lower signal-to-noise ratio in my XLR out signal on my pedalboard. To my understanding, since the Highline is a line isolator with a 1:1 transformer instead of a direct...

    You can use a Bluetooth transmitter like this one and plug into the headphone out jack of the D4+. However, be warned that the high latency caused by Bluetooth makes playing bass through it borderline unbearable. I would highly recommend using wired earphones/headphones instead.

    Regarding pickup height adjustments, should I use headphones or speakers?

    I'm doing it by ear. I used to do it by compressor and have all strings show roughly the same gain reduction when plucked with the same intensity. Learning about the Fletcher-Munson curve made me use my ear.

    Regarding pickup height adjustments, should I use headphones or speakers?

    I want to set up my pickup height to have somewhat of an even volume distribution across strings, but I realize that the sound coming from my monitoring headphones has more treble content than from my bass speaker cabinet. If I rely on my headphones, the treble side of the pickup will be a bit...

    Relatively transparent outboard preamps to liven up a passive bass a bit?

    Tech21 Q-Strip. It's transparent enough when flat to make you think "is this even on", but that top end sparkle when boosting is the icing on the cake.
