    Is there a way to A/B 2 preamps into 1 amp?

    I was wondering if I missed some other piece of info, but this was my thought as well. If you add a loop switcher (which will absolutely work!), you're adding 4 instrument cables and an additional power cable (assuming it has an LED or two) to effectively turn two foot switches into one.

    The Official MTD USA Thread

    Brother, you can just email me for info if you need it! It's pretty gnarly, gonna take a few more days to clean up the US shop. We got absolutely POUNDED with rain last week and the shop is in a low lying area. Gonna be another wet week this week, but shouldn't be nearly as crazy. Business as...

    What would you put after your HX Stomp?

    This was my rig last year and it was wonderful. I have the tabletop version of the same wireless system, so I stuck that on top of my head. The comp was first in the chain, the envelope filter was in the loop and I used the other loop as an input for my EUB. SV to FOH. This year's board is a...

    Power adaptor why? Why ? WHY?

    I've used a Micro Pog with my Cioks power supply without issue. I think EHX is covering their ass against someone using a cheap PSU off Amazon which may or may not match the necessary spec and then blowing up their pedal.

    Bakithi Kumalo

    Bakithi is such a monster. I have a cool story about him! I used to work at the Guitar Asylum on Long Island in the early 2000s when I was in high school. At the time I thought I was a cool jazz guy. For a few months the bass teacher and I went to an open jam in Port Jeff hosted by Bakhiti...

    Good setups - science, art, or both?

    It's absolutely a mix of both but I would argue it's more science than art. Just like soldering, it's a matter of practice. I can setup a Kingston to factory spec in like 5 minutes if the intonation is already alright. I just have it in my bones at this point that the rod will need x amount of...

    Peterson Tuner - Setup with Bass Sweetened Tuning?

    Feels like there's a lot of confusion in this thread. All the sweetened tunings do is compensate a little bit for the nature of straight frets. Pretty much every note we play on a fret (besides the 12th, if you're intonated correctly) is a little out of tune. Guitarists for years have...

    Does anyone make a 6 string set for a medium scale bass?

    Unfortunately we don't have packaged 6 string sets available. OP might be wise to try LaBella for that. For our headlesses, we use LaBella double ball end strings. The Hipshot hardware we use accommodates basically any single ball end string you might want use though.

    Helix Stadium

    I recently started using the command center to swap between presets instead of trying to jam everything I could possibly need into one. So if I need my normal clean tone for the majority of a set, but I need some crazy synth tone for a couple parts, I'll just set up my buttons in the command...

    New Hofner violin basses, thoughts

    I have an Ignition Violin bass and it's cool! If you can get it for next to nothing and swap a couple components, you'll have an absolutely gig-worthy and very lightweight bass. The pickups are a lot more versatile and fun than I would've thought - I could play a rock gig with it with zero...

    Advice request for pickup/preamp options

    This is a good call! I pretty much use the mid switch on my 535 like a second bass pot at 250hz - fills the whole thing out.
