    Blackstar Fly 3 or Joyo Ma-10B

    Joyo is rated 10 watts while Blackstar is rated 3watts. Though, the blackstar allows an extension cab, and thus enables doubling the loudness or sound pressure level, am i wrong? If so, the blackstar with the extension can deliver more loudness than the joyo. If having two similar speakers...

    Laney RBW 200

    The cab of this amp only handles 60watts. You need an extension cab for the remaining power. Otherwise, i like the tone and controls of mine.

    Is there an affordable transparent headphone amp ?

    For transparent you might want to look at the Behringer P2 IEM Monitor.

    new practice rig (amplug + ipod)

    the ipod/computer/phone will certainly have its own volume control. That's what I use.

    Vox Amplug 2 Bass defective?

    Turn the tone down on the amplug and all the way up on the bass. IMHO It's an okayish workaround.

    Behringer/Sansamp ADI21: distortion and profiles/settings suggestions.

    I don't regret getting the adi instead of the bdi. It's a common practice amongst fretless and upright players. The main question ends up being about how to handle preamp input overdrive (which even occurs in onboard preamps) and the tradeoffs regarding the volume knob on the guitar.

    Behringer/Sansamp ADI21: distortion and profiles/settings suggestions.

    The distortion is not due to an overdriven output but due to an overdriven preamp. The audio interface shows no clipping. I've recently searched about active bases and realized that the issue I am describing is normal in active bases (which are bases with preamps). The suggested solution seems...

    Behringer/Sansamp ADI21: distortion and profiles/settings suggestions.

    I picked this instead of the bdi because i play fretless and the sweeapble mids are useful with it. I did of course read its manual, but also searched for alternative profiles on manuals of other products. This pedal is a copy of the sansamp acoustic di, which in the meantime has been replaced...

    Behringer/Sansamp ADI21: distortion and profiles/settings suggestions.

    I just got an ADI21 and am very positively surprised by it. I'd been mostly playing direct into an audio interface and it is now great to finally have tube emulation; both due to its warmth and to its inherent compression, which was a very nice surprise. Though, I have found it harder than I...

    Analog Compressor; Preamp; or modern multi-fx for a Fender Fretless Jazz

    I've just bought a Behringer ADI21 preamp and so far I a satisfied. I was positively surprised with the fact that its valve amp emulation circuit already provides some inherent compression! I was also surprised that it is easily overdriven; though this is manageable by lowering the (passive)...
