Oh come on man... Now it's just you trying to make me look shady for the sake of it. Of course it was white noise being used with my test and not pink noise. For anyone reading, pink noise is a noise with equal energy per octave so it's having a lot more low frequency amplitude than white noise...

Just double checked, it was white noise, so all's good here. I did in fact not use a smoothing algorithm, so this is just screenshots on the master bus out of my DAW after layering the recordings so the ripples are expected. It was more of a quick and dirty fun test project in order to make the...

Okay, so my D800+ arrived today. First impression is really good, I like the form factor, the weight and the bag is a very nice touch. The unit seems sturdy and right off the bat, even feeling the switches will leave no doubt that this is made of quality material. Unfortunately my cabs are all...

No sir, you kinda seem to just not really read what I actually say and we've already agreed upon your point without any need for discussion earlier. Again, I believe we're on the same baseline but misunderstanding each other because there's too little actual facts and too many generalized...

Could you elaborate on that besides "I'm authority"? Because as someone with a little bit of FOH experience myself i've explained my considerations from a mixing desk point of view quite detailed and i cannot see where i might be off the tracks here when all i'm being told is "you're wrong, you...

No, I don't think this can be generalized because it completely depends on the setup. If there is a digital mixing desk with full on graphical eq, cleaning up the signal is a matter of seconds. But the reality (at least for my scene) is that most of the clubs will still have some sort of...

Yeah, I totally understand the amp-design point of view and having some neutral solution is oviously the only way to play this. My initial question wasn't really focused on emulating a cabinet per se, it was about taming an overdriven signal to prepare it for mixing. Taming the worst offender...

Which is exactly why i always plan a DI channel to fall back to if needed when i'm working FOH myself. Having a DI is non-negotiable for me. Doesn't necessarily mean it's getting used that night though. :) Mic bleed isn't really an issue I run into alot when mixing in clubs. Sure, there is mic...

Here's what i've been gigging for the last couple of months but i think i may kinda be missing a simpler board. The white one on the top row is a "Pumpernickel" compressor, a diy soldering project by Schalltechnik_04. Great little comp, beats the Cali in my ears.

Well, theres a very simple aspect of practicality that I think should play a role in this discussion. I've just finished a club tour with an ampeg v4b and it completely brought me over the edge of "never again". Sound-wise I believe that there's wonderful amps in both catecories. But...

Yep, as a club sound guy myself I'd almost always prefer a microphone in front of the amp in order to capture the sonic vision of the instrumentalist as best as i can instead of getting a blank canvas and eq it whatever. If my mic works as intended, my wet and dry DIs will most often just be...

Well, to be fair, you're kinda missing my point here. THIS is what solved my big question: ;) Thank you everyone for helping me get a better understanding of the amp. I did in fact order one today and am looking forward to testing it out with my setup.

Got it, thank you very much! Don't most bass cabinets have a relatively fixed frequency response between say 45 Hz and 5-8 kHz? If you were to limit a DI signal to say 40 Hz to 8 kHz, shouldn't you be in a relatively good spot to make sure you get all the usable frequency for the instrument and...

Aaaaahhhhhh, now I see! Thank you so much for the clarification @agedhorse ! So I guess I'll have to order a unit and test my overdrive sounds (mainly Darkglass Vintage Microtubes and a Russian Big Muff) over the DI. Maybe the LPF on the DI will be enough, maybe it won't - but now I can be sure...

Well, I've quoted those in my question as well, so I've already read this. But I cannot find anything about a cab-emulation in the manual for the D-800+, nor does the mesa website mention any of this or the block diagram show me anything, which is why i was getting confused and put up my...
