Gday! Something I can contribute to! I base my entire tone around what I can record DI'd from my Sansamp. I've spent countless hours switching between headphones and studio monitors to know accurately the sound that I'm sending to the amp! I used to run my sansamp into the EFX loop on my old...

I find that you just need some critical thinking, some patience and a good ear. Usually, when I look at pedal placement I play the pedal on its own for a bit to get its general vibe then I think about what I want to do with it. There really is no "rules", but there is a decent guide that you can...

Stewart Hill, and his band Dead Letter Circus. Probably some of the tightest finger playing i have ever heard recorded or live. Dude literally slipped over in a puddle onto his back and kept playing in time without any mistakes. Hell of a show.

I used to run a mono-split-stereo to mono signal chain with various effects/modulations and distortions along both channels to attempt to make my tone unique by blending different sounds. I found that if i mixed any effect that modulated/warped my tone, like a chorus on one channel with a...

Best link i can suggest is the one that connects on either side of your head! Trust your ears. Get experience. Try it out yourself and see what you find!

This is a great idea, just be careful of phase issues that can show up. You may find at some point no matter how much you turn some things up the volume never increases, or strange washy effects when certain pedals are engaged... Try keeping your modulation towards the end of your chain once its...

Suggestion out of left field for you - maybe have a look at the Peavey MiniMega. It's probably one of the best sounding budget heads I've had the luck to play/own, and puts out a cool 1000w @ 4ohm with great EQ + output options. $508 American brand new.

Best light weight, powerful and budget priced bass amp head i have heard is the Peavy MiniMega. 1000w @ 4 ohms, dual cab output, decent EQ and light enough it comes with its own shoulder bag.

Unfortunately, with Australia's internet being as archaic as it is, streaming live concerts in HD just simply will not be a realistic possibility for us for YEARS. Our governments already bungled up any chance of us getting a more modern system for at least another 5-10 years, till then we will...

Anyone ever mixed a GK Neo410 with a GK Neo212 and had success? I currently own a 212, and am considering picking up a second cab. The 410 has better low end response, but i'm worried it would be voiced too different from the 212 and give me funny sounds?

Probably not super rare - but it's still the only time i've ever heard or seen of this pedal Proco Juggernaut Bass Rat! Apparently they had a limited run (due to most of the units being rubbish) in the 80's and had a short re-release, but never caught on. I can understand why, they are a little...

I have had the opportunity to play through a few different amp/cabs and i find that; A 410 (or more 10's) will produce better low end than most 212/115, however the trade off is they get muddier much quicker. I personally find that a GK Neo212ii with a HPF can put out just as much low end as...

If the gear hasn't broken and hasn't changed, the only variables are strings, room acoustics and playing technique; - First thing i would do is ensure the speaker is in a position pointing directly towards my ears, and away from a corner of the room, then ensure that my strings are new/clean...

Cheap, loud and SPANKY - Best way to describe the Peavy MiniMEGA. 1000w at 4ohms, dual speakon output with dual parametric mid eq's. It has an option to increase the lower harmonics of your sound too, to enhance the perceived bass through smaller cabs without blowing the drivers. I got one for...

I am currently using a Proco Juggernaut. The original owner wasn't a huge fan of it, and it wasn't performing well as a lone distortion, used better to put hair on things with the blend knob. Gave it to a friend to mod, he returned it with two vintage LM308's put into the circuit and now this...
