    Tech 21 Q/Strip

    There is a "phantom & ground connect xlr" button at the lower left side of the pedal. The same that comes with the BassDriver and ParaDriver. I believe that if you want to power the unit via phantom it must be ground connected, if you lift the button you lift the ground but would have to run it...

    What are good lightweight amps

    That was a thread worth read! Good craftmanship. As for OP, I've being using a TC Electronic BH250 with a GK neo115 cabinet, power for rehearsals and bar gigs is enough. The amp has very good features all the way from EQ to the Toneprints. It's worth its value if you want to mess around with...

    tc electronic bh250 - new micro head!

    You are right, they never realesed that info. I wrote to them with a couple of technical questions and they replied this: "Thank you for contacting TC Electronic Support. If you are only connecting an 8ohm load, you will get roughly half of the rated wattage." So they didn't say the exact...

    tc electronic bh250 - new micro head!

    I have tried both and own a BH250. The MB200 has 200watts @4ohms and 140watts 8ohms while the BH250 has 250 watts @4ohms and 125watts @8ohms. So if you are using an 8ohm cab you would get 15watts more from the MB200, which in my opinion is not a worthy difference. However if you pair two 8ohm...

    Official Markbass Club - the beat goes on, and on....

    Is there a difference from the LittleMark III and de 250Blackline other than wattage? Since its the cheapest one and the is no other "blacklined" amp head I was wondering if they are other differences like quality or where are they built, beacuse the LittleMark250 was replaced for the Blackline...

    Tech 21 SABDDI V2 with Mids

    I got some nice tips from @Al Kraft and the guys from @tech21nyc ( Stacking preamp pedals ) but I will continue here because it was going off topic on that thread. I decided to go for the BDDI v2 and it's great. I was really looking for midrange control, so if the BBDI v2 didn't have the mid...

    Tc electonics bh250

    Do you know if the preamp's circuity before the TonePrint is analogical or digital?

    Analogical or Digital preamps???

    Reviving an old thread. Does anybody know how to tell if an amp's preamp is digital? I want to know if my TC Electronic BH250 has a digital preamp since there is no clear information anywhere (my guess is that it IS digital since almost everything TC makes is). Also, I'm planning on getting a...

    Ibanez BTB Club, Part 2!

    They should include the specs in the manual, that information is necesary, thank you! I don't know what a parametric filter is, do you mean if I run the signal through a parametric EQ after the bass? I usually just tweak the amp EQ after a little bit but no parametric.

    Ibanez BTB Club, Part 2!

    I have a BTB 400qm. It's supposed to have a VM-3B (or Vari Mid 3 Band) preamp. And I have many questions about this preamp. 1) Does anybody know what are the frequency control centers for bass and treable? 2) The frequency range of the mid control? 3)Are these preamps digital? The reason I ask...

    Stacking preamp pedals

    Thank you! I will keep that in mind (considering TH or other bass designed option if parametric mids is a "must"). Aside from the technical considerations, which one do you feel gets a mellower sound? I just don't want to end up buying a heavy metal box (my main fear with the BDDI). I would also...

    Stacking preamp pedals

    What would you recommend between the ParaDriver and de BassDriver (considering the actual "version 2" of both)? I really want a swipeable mids and my musical style doesn't requiere much dirtiness, like from James Jamerson to John Paul Johnes and standard jazz/blues/pop songs, around that style...

    Lo-Fi vs Hi-Fi

    Hi, I have a question regarding this terms. I understand they stand for "low fidelity" and "high fidelity". Either term is often used to describe recordings, for example if it sounds like a garage band recording is more likelly to be classified as LoFi and a more profesional recording a HiFi...

    B7K & BDDI eq and blend measurements

    Has anybody made this eq measurements with the SansAmp ParaDriver v2? It seems to be able to imitate that BDDI scoop but I bet you could choose not to have it with the parametric mid eq. I'm very curious about this, because if it can emulate 100% de BDDI's scoop then the PDDI is way above de...
