    Mesa Boogie Subway+ Bass DI Preamp - High Pitched Whine Fix??

    Do you daisy chain the power? Do you have isolated power for each pedal? Have you tried using the Subway with a battery? Some digital pedals I have create high pitch noise that interacts with other pedals. I placed a D’Addario XPND noise isolator on the power to the digital pedals and no more...

    Testing Compressors: Cali, Smoothie, Empress, Diamond, Keeley, FEA, Darkglass, Doc Lloyd, Lusithand & more

    Remember though, white noise you are using is equal , constant intensity at all frequencies. There are no dynamics, hence when the level exceeds the threshold, all frequencies exceed the threshold at equal intensity, the compressor will act as a simple volume control across al frequencies, again...

    2019 Ashdown Triple Shot vs 2024 Ashdown Triple Shot - what's the diff?

    I emailed Ashdown with the same question. Dave Green @ Ashdown was very helpful. Older version needs 18v power, new version runs on 9v. The other thing I considered was the size difference. Older version being smaller and I don't need a vu meter. Dave's response. "Regarding the triple shot the...

    NicheDevices Humboldt low frequency clipping

    I too have the same experience with the Humboldt. When I first received the Humboldt, played around with it alot but still had the nasty bottom end breakup. I looked into the circuitry, the transformer is a step up 1:4. You can hear it kick up the level when turning the transformer off/on. I...

    Behringer UV300 vibrato modded and rehoused

    Hi Samazof, You could use the current jacks mounted to the chassis and just run wires from the jack to the pcb. It's been quite a long time ago, but if I recall they are switching jacks, I just purchased replacements and wired to the board. Same for the power connector, bought new connector and...

    Solid Gold FX Beta drive? Anyone playing one?

    Thanks for the reply, Jumblemind. I don't find anything missing, just always after the elusive perfect tone. I really liked the audio clips of the Bate a few pages ago. That got me thinking, hmmmm, does the Beta have something additional to offer? Especially with the praise it has received. One...

    Solid Gold FX Beta drive? Anyone playing one?

    Has anyone experience with the Pigtronix Bass Fat drive and can comment on the Bass Fat Drive vs the Beta? I have a Bass Fat Drive and am curious as to whether I should consider the Beta? Thanks.

    Behringer UV300 vibrato modded and rehoused

    I don't think anything is screwed up. When you enable the pedal you hear the vibrato sound, how fast you hear that sound is controlled by the rise time. Really works best in unlatched mode, so when you press on the pedal to enable the vibrato sound it is not immediate but kinda swells in to the...

    Behringer UV300 vibrato modded and rehoused

    If I recall correctly, the rise control adjusts the time it takes to reach full effect from when you turn on the effect. So seems like what you experience is how it is supposed to work. You can use the rise to swell into the effect when you press the pedal on, especially useful if using the...
