    Jad Freer Audio - CAPO multiple preamp

    Has anyone tried to use the Capo as a (stereo) DI only? If you plug your bass directly into the Loop Post Return don't you go directly into the DI like on the input side? If so, can you use the Input as a DI for a seperate sound source i.e. a synth while your bass plugs directly into the Loop...

    Fender Rumble 500 vs Orange Crush (Differences)

    What is your problem, man? Again, I said I used all usable features but could not use other featured because of a design flaw. The manual says no word about main volume being part of the preamp in this amp and it can not be expected from a customer to check block diagrams to find out about this...

    Fender Rumble 500 vs Orange Crush (Differences)

    ok. In this particular amp it belongs to the preamp because of a questionable design decision. But since it is the only amp on the planet that is designed like this and therefore noone would think 'all preamp controls' to include the main volume control I'll call it a design flaw since it...

    Fender Rumble 500 vs Orange Crush (Differences)

    Nothing is hard to understand about 'all preamp controls'. As I said - this is correct. No problem. The problem is, that the Main Volume is NOT a preamp control but a power amp control. The main volume should make louder what is coming from the preamp and effects but NOT alter the signal that...

    Fender Rumble 500 vs Orange Crush (Differences)

    My manual says this: "Balanced output to connect to external devices such as PA systems or recording consoles. The level and tone of the LINE OUT signal are affected by all preamp controls, including GAIN." That would be correct. But in reality the signal is also affected by the Master Volume -...

    It is a good an nice sounding amp. I also like the tone and loudness alot. But it has not the fatures that are advertised. Just wanted to mention that.

    Fender Rumble 500 vs Orange Crush (Differences)

    Be careful with the Rumble line. All of them have serious design flaws. I own a Rumble 100 and its a great combo if you just want to plug your bass in and play right away. But - and I think its a really BIG but - they somehow screwed up the internal routing of the signal. The problem with the...

    The world has been taken over by the PJ

    I have two Squier Jaguar PJs (an SS and a LS) and a MIM Fender P. For the Jaguars its ok for my taste, they are somehow 'hybrid' and modern anyway. But I would not want my P to have an additional PU. For me the classic simplicity of a P is what makes it attractive to me. a PJ P is a bit like...

    So what's the stereotypical "Dad" bass?

    I think all this highend 'boutique' Fedora 6 7 9 13 string basses are Dad basses. All this expensive walnut poop. I think a P-Bass and even an old 60s P-Bass is the freshest thing you can get. But, since I am a dad, maybe yeah, the P is the dad bass. But all greenhorns may get it one day.
