Aye! Awesome page! I bought my DBX160a before having read his page, however, based on opinions I got off of the Eden forum. Gotta say, there may be better compressors, but I would NEVER play a gig again without it! It's simple, easy to use, and has surely saved my speakers from popping out...

That Thunderfunk looks really interesting!

I was thinkin, guitar cabs (marshall 4x12, etc) have the top 2 drivers angled up, apparently to help the guitarist hear. Would there be any sonic issues or problems with designing a bass cab the same way? I.E., a 4x12 bass cab with the top 2 speakers angled up? Or perphaps a 2x15 with the top...

Hey all, My band, A Line Between, is going to be playing Summerfest here in Milwaukee on July 2nd, and I was just wondering what to expect. I've never played on a stage that big (Harley Stage) and was wondering if my rig would be adaquete, or if I should add an extension cab(s). I'm rockin...

I think it's Cocobolo

I'd be willing to bet that the people you're refering to that can play anything aren't concerning themselves with much theory, rather they're responding to what they feel and hear in the music. I became a much better player when I stopped thinking so much about what I was doing, and just...

400+ and don't look back!

Hey all, Is there a pedal out there that will make me sound like I'm playing through a Mesa rectifier? How about an Ibanez tube screamer? Thanks!

I play a big rig mostly just to get the speakers closer to ear level. We have an awsome, loud drummer, and a smaller rig might be plenty loud for the sound guy and the audience, but when I'm right in front of it, a rig thats at my knees is hard to hear. You can always turn a big rig down.

Has anyone out there played the new Dr. Bass 412? I'm thinkin about selling my eden 210xst/212xlt set-up and getting the dr. Bass. How would you describe the tone? Thanks.

Hey guys, My rig is a mesa bass 400+, eden 212xlt and 210xst, both 8 ohm cabs. Love the sound, but the light inside the 210xst lights up contstantly with moderate volume. I've got all of the treble controls turned down, any thoughts as to why this would be happening? Is there a problem...

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated!

Hey guys, I've got a mesa bass 400+, eden 212xlt (8 ohm), and eden 210xst (8 ohm). I'm looking to add another 210xst either 4 or 8 ohm. I'd like the 8 ohm cab so all cabs get the same power but the load on the amp would be 2.67. Is it safe to run the bass 400+ at 2.67 ohms or should I get...
