    Boss GT-10B

    One of the many things you could do is set one channel up clean and the other with od/dist. then add different eq and or compression to bothin equal amounts or one or the other in different amounts based on what you want to hear when you switch.

    retiring my AMPEG......

    Thanks for the input. I have really been impressed with everything i have heard about the 15/6!! I do know ampeg claims 130 spl max, but my svt only goes 450 watts @ 4 ohms, so im short of that. My settings on my amp are pre-9 o'clock eq is pretty flat and master at 1 o'clock. I would like to be...

    retiring my AMPEG......

    Im thinking about getting rid of my big, heavy ol' ampeg. she's an svt pro-3 head and 8x10 bottom. the power is fine, the tone is not that great for me, not bad enough to complain but if I'm starting over i would like to hit it on the head! .I'm thinking of going with a fearful cab and power amp...

    Good alternatives to Duratex?

    I just did my 8x10 in herculiner, its meant for pickup truck beds. I had it left over from another project and the factory covering had been removed years ago so i figured why not. i went on well and is adhearing great. finish is rough, much like a course grit sand paper but hey its not for...

    gt-10b help!!

    just purchased a used gt, did a factory reset. Now my problem is in a user patch that i write, i can't get the eq to switch on/off with out killing my signal. I can work around the problem by just writing a new patch but i don't understand why i can't get it to work. I have tried both the...

    TC BG250 vs Carvin MB15 which one for me

    I'm more than happy with my carvin micro 10'' handles my 6 string well although I have to run the E.Q. Pretty aggressive. When I run my 15'' extension it really pumps. I just wanted something to play with acoustics's but the rig can keep up with a full drum set just fine, even with a low B

    Unusual tuning

    hey nik, congrats on your new band. Ijust got in to a cover band recently too but they do have some originals. For one song i'll tune ADADB and that gives a nice range to play with, but I have noticed that the b-string is a little more sesitive to tension changes and have to compromise for fret buzz

    Cheap, new, loud enough combo suggestions...

    I have come too prefer the tone on my carvin micro 10'' over my ampeg. And it's just as loud with a extension cab till about 7.5 on the master. I bought it just for a practice amp but now I consider it my main rig and just leave my 100#+ monster and the jamm room. I'm in my mid 30's aswell and I...

    Key elements for the Warwick sound

    i'll second that. I have a german made passive vette stnd. i like the "feel" no frets but not huge on the "mmwwwaahh" for playing hard rock/metal but my wick has allways been great to play/listen/look!!
