    RH450 + RS210 - Not Loud Enough

    Simple. You aren't moving enough air. Technically, the guitar, snare drum and cymbals are relatively close in frequency and will appear to be louder because they are easier for people to hear. If you were to take a Sound Pressure Level reading, you would find that, although a distorted...

    In/out and DC jack placement on pedals - What's your preference?

    After reading other comments, Top doesn't refer to the stepping surface but rather the top edge (as in where all my Boss pedals have the power Jack, duh). Top edge it is. It would solve all my issues. Also, any pedal with stereo should use a TRS Jack instead of two mono jacks.

    Ideas for a stage monitor for bass

    Why not use your bass rig? I use 1/2 of mine in small clubs. I have 2 Hartke 4x10 cabs. Small places I use only one. And teeny tiny places I still use one 4x10 and I use my direct out to the mains.

    Has Leo Quan gone out of business?

    I have it on good sources from an online retailer friend that Leo Quan has passed away about a year ago and the family has stopped all production through probate. :-(
