    Help me pick out an octave pedal

    Hey, guys! So my issue is pretty specific. I Used to play a lot of metal, and my rig is perfect for it. Absolutely clear and true bass, g&l custom fretless 2000, gallien Kruger preamp, power amp, and two acme B4 cabs. It's a monstrosity, and I wouldn't give it up for the world. Well, I'm out of...

    Advice wanted on PA setup

    Alright. Decisions were made, and items were purchased. I have a Mackie 402 vlz4 on the way, with a shure sm58 and some cables. A few days I'll be able to get it all hooked up and rocking. Total price, without the existing power amp, was about $270. I'd say that's a good price for what should...

    Advice wanted on PA setup

    Okay, I've purchased a behringer b1220 speaker for $50, which seemed like a great deal. A little beat up cosmetically, but still sounds good. I know behringer has a reputation, but for $50 it felt like a really good place to start. Today my plan is to run the cabs through one channel (I haven't...

    Advice wanted on PA setup

    Okay. That's the sort of info I was aiming for. The room isn't super small, but it is narrow and I expect feedback would definitely end up being a problem at louder volumes. To give some insight on our setup, we're all coming from melodic death metal bands, so we all have gear entirely happy in...

    Advice wanted on PA setup

    I just feel like a desktop mixer is too much. I just need a couple channels and I can add a two channel rack eq if I feel like I need it, which I probably will. I think I've decided on using a single passive speaker, for now. If we decide we want it coming from another direction we can upgrade...

    Advice wanted on PA setup

    Hey Riis! I didn't know anybody on this site had any pictures of me. I'm impressed you were able to dig that up. Luckily my taste in bass guitars has improved. That old thing was worthless. I have since moved on to nicer basses. Those acmes are still rumbling the house, though. Doesn't matter...

    Looks like the acme cabs are strictly 8ohm, so that's not an option.

    Advice wanted on PA setup

    Hey, guys. I just bought a house and I'm looking to start towards getting my band room ready. I have bass, guitar and drums covered leaving me with vocals. So, we'll start with my needs, move to my ideas and then we'll see if I'm on the right track or if I'm way off. I'm looking to have two...

    FS Only: Darkglass Vintage Microtubes

    Up for sale is a nice little pedal. She's practically new, only used a handful of times myself, and has been sitting on my carpet for the last couple months. I'm in the Army, stationed in Korea, so it's been in the barracks with no pets and no kids, but it'll take about an extra week in...

    New to using effects, and having some trouble

    holy CRAP I feel like an idiot. I tend to consider myself a pretty intelligent fellow, but in my excitement never doublechecked. I think the fact that pass-through worked when it was turned off, made me never doubt that I had it plugged up the right way. I was totally hooking up output ->...

    Sorry, it's a Planetwaves power supply. It's a 9vdc power supply, with the correct polarity and is the correct voltage for the region.

    New to using effects, and having some trouble

    Hey guys. I just bought my first real effect pedal a couple weeks ago. The Darkglass VMT, and I didn't realize it didn't come with a power supply, so I went ahead and ordered one which arrived today. Now, when I plug everything in I get absolutely no sound. The light comes on the VMT, and...
