    Trace Elliot Transit B Bass Guitar Preamp Pedal

    Hello everyone, been awhile since Ive been on here, sorry, been pretty busy. Playing in a new arrangement, for me anyway. Five piece classic rock, Two very good guitarists, great keyboardist, rock solid drummer, and myself, definitely decent. This band runs no live amps on stage, and the drummer...

    players who are ashamed of having "entry level" brand instruments...

    It’s really personal preference. If it works for you, plays good for you, and you like it, stick with it! I am on a budget as well. I use zzounds.com a lot to get the gear I have. They have payment plans.

    Svt 3 gain control

    I also figured out a way to get the cabinet up off the floor a little to be able to hear it better maybe. About 1 foot higher now. I had an old peavey combo amp sitting around, blown head and speaker. Removed the electronics, and it sits great under my bass cabinet now. Gonna give it a try.

    Svt 3 gain control

    Love the graphic EQ! That was one of the reasons I didn't get the svt7, although it was quite a bit cheaper. Read a lot of bad reviews on the 7 crapping out

    Svt 3 gain control

    a few weeks ago I posted a thread, (can't seem to find it now) about my new svt3 not being loud enough on stage. I then used the preamp and a power amp and got better results. Some of you told me to avoid looking at the gain led and use my ears. I tried that, got a ton more volume with just the...

    Svt 3 question

    I will play wit that a little. I just bought a new squier affinity pj bass for some tune down stuff my band plays. Easier to deal with. I was very pleasantly surprised by the way that bass plays and looks especially for 199.00, and was very surprised when the output is way hotter than my fender...

    Svt 3 question

    I thought that was a clipping led. The way I set it was turn gain up until it just flashes every now and then

    Svt 3 question

    Ok, so I tried running the preamp only to my crown xls1002 power amp, bridged mono for 1100 watts. It's night and day! They should have put the svt 3 preamp into the svt7 lol. A buddy of mine has the 7. It sounds like a Hartke 3500, which is ok, it's just not an ampeg in my opinion. The 1100...

    Svt 3 question

    It is a 4 ohm cabinet. We were outside to though, so maybe that was an issuue, plus I'm 6.3, and had to play directly in front of my cab, so I'll give it a try again inside and see how that goes. Thanks for the reply!

    On the fence!

    I looked at tha just now. Might be the ticket. I also have a one space eq and an open space in my rack to help tweak the tone a bit. Thanks for the tip!

    On the fence!

    for the past couple years i have been playing through an ampeg svt hlf410 cab which i love and sounds great always! I have also been playing with the Eden preamp pedal with a crown xls1002 power amp, bridged mode, 1100 watts at 4 ohms. Lately the pedal is beginning to have issues. The compressor...
