Yea that makes sense now. Your explanation regarding the expression pedal does make it a lot clearer to visualise how you would get that wet sounding pop from an envelope filter. Looks like I had the control back to front (for a LPF). I am trying to get down the basic theory behind various...

Nice one Shep!! Thanks also for the excellent info on your web page and blog. I am a long time drummer that has only been playing bass a couple of years, and I am trying my best to learn how the bass side of the Drum & Bass / Dubstep sound is achieved and what possibilities are out there. All...

Hello ! Wondered if any one could help with a quick question regarding a Voltage Controlled Low Pas Filter (ref a Moog MF-101) If the LPF is controlled via the envelope signal (which is varied depending on signal strength from the guitar), then what does the actual cutoff setting on the...

Hi.. Rapid Electronics online do a 20m reel of Evolution XPC OFC Professional instrument cable for £15 +VAT. Looks like they are getting Van Damme cable in soon also which is good stuff. I have bought cables and connectors from there several times and they are always excellent on price and fast...

Hi... Just got myself a M82 pedal, and from what I have read online and seen in the manual it says the unit is 9v. However on the side of the actual pedal there is a sticker above the power socket saying 18v. I won't have chance to try it for a few days so thought I would ask if anyone who...

Hi... I ordered a Sansamp BDDI last week. When it arrived I had the same issue as you; no output from the unit. I thought I might be overlooking something, but to be fair its not that complicated, so I sent it back and got a replacement. New unit worked straight away (and sounds great!)...

Thanks for the replies... Yea, its the high frequencies of the cymbals and attack from snare that was worrying me. To be a bit more specific its only a Yamaha DTX express kit I use for practice (keeps the neighbours happy). The amp and cabs are markbass Little Tube 800, 104HF and 151P cabs...

Hello... Can anyone advise if I could cause any possible damage by playing my electronic drum kit through my amp and cab? Its only for home practice purposes and will only be at a low volume. After shelling out for a new rig last year I dont want to risk playing the electronic kit...

Thanks fellas.. As said above, a bit of an angle is to be expected, but It was kinda of one extreme to the other. No big deal just curious. Anyway, adjusted them so they sit a bit flatter and she is sounding lovely. Thanks!!

Hello all... Just acquired a new P Bass, and on arrival the pickups were set up in a very odd way. Both outside screws (on each pickup) were wound all the way down and the two screws on the inside were set very high. This meant the pickups were very close to the A & D strings and a far...

OK Ok- reading your lips!!! :crying: :D Seriously, really appreciate the advice and sorry if they are daft questions. Thats the whole reason i thought I had better ask (me being daft that is) CC

Cheers fellas.. As long as I cannot break anything then I am happy. The places we practice often don't allow to play full volume and when learning new songs the 'gig' sound is far from important to start with. Sure if we are practicing the set and trying to get a mix I will use the full...

Thanks for the detailed reply.. I can see what you are saying, that 2 x 410s would be the ideal match based on impeadance, sensitivity and displacement as they are exactly the same. And also that a 410 has far different characteristics than a 115 so sonically they will never be a perfect...

Hello all.. First I would like to say hello!! Been reading the forum for a long time but this is my first post... (go easy eh?) Just wanted to run something past the experts.... I have been researching and testing out as much gear as I can, and am settled on the following...
