    NPD: Mooer Prime M2

    I ended up getting the B1FOUR. I have found that it connects very easily to the computer. (No audio interface though- just patch editing and management) A 3rd party has created tonelib software for managing the device and it works very smoothly. This product like your ms-60b, is also showing its...

    NPD: Mooer Prime M2

    Thanks for this, I have the M1 and have had a similar experience. I'm considering upgrading to the B1FOUR. Also if you like the rechargeable batteries in the Mooer, consider buying some rechargeable AA batteries for your Zoom. They will last longer than alkaline batteries.

    Why do I need a pedal preamp?

    With my previous description, you would plug the bass into the Battalion. So bass -batallion- effect return. This means you're bypassing the amps preamp and using the Battalion instead. The other option outlined by gtirard would effectively have you stacking the amp preamp with the Battalion...

    Why do I need a pedal preamp?

    So if you have a situation where you may be dealing with an unfamiliar amp, you can plug the Battalion (or other preamp pedal) into the Effects Return of the amp which bypasses the amplifier's preamp. You are just using the power amp. This gives you a fairly consistent tone from amp to amp. Note...

    Fender Rumble Club

    Well, I think it is time to join the club and ask for a number. I've been the proud owner of a Rumble 40 for a few years now. It was doing a fine job in rehearsals and as a stage monitor with my fairly quiet band. However, the addition of a second guitarist and an outdoor venue meant it was...

    How much Rumble?

    Ok fellas, point taken. I guess I missed the term SPL which I thought measured loudness. Does Fender publish speaker sensitivity data for these amps?

    How much Rumble?

    I hear you but you seem to be describing speaker efficiency rather than the max output of combo amps with different wattages and speaker configurations. I do agree that this is not scientific and mostly just for fun. I suppose if enough people post similar results some reliability may emerge...

    How much Rumble?

    I'm just wondering how the max spl of the various Rumble amps stacks up. I have a Fender Rumble 40 and I used a phone app called Open Noise. To measure the sound I placed my phone about a meter from the amp and turned it up as loud as I could and played fingerstyle for a bit. The levels jumped...

    Amp EQ Control Style: 3 band semi-parametric v. 4 band

    It seems like a lot of popular amps and preamp pedals these days have either a 3 band eq with sweepable midrange, or a 4 band eq. Generally speaking what are the pros and cons? Which is more useful? Are there situations where one is more advantageous than another?
