Thinking about trying out an Ashdown Ant paired with my TC112 v1 (4ohm) cab as a pedalboard-only rig. All of my gigs have PA support, but a backline is hit or miss. I'd love to have the pedalboard carry my sound and have the option to bring my cab or use the backline as the situation allows. Has...

Very excited to see more pedal board power amp options starting to hit the market! Can anyone give me the dimensions of the Simone 500? It’s not listed on the website and a scan of this thread didn’t show results. Thanks!

What’s the band? Sounds like my cup of tea

Does anyone know how the Two Notes Le Bass pre would work with Jay's amp? According to this post you'd need at least 20db of gain to drive the power amp: Jay Ganz Straight Ahead Power Amp

1 year reunion bump! I too am interested in a pedalboard-centric rig. How has your search developed in the last 12 months, @Rickter ?

Three thoughts on this: 1. I find it's often more fun playing genres I don't like listening to than I expect, especially in a tight band. 2. Ask for a trial period. Tell them how you feel, but that if they're game you'd like set up a trial period of x number of months or gigs to see if it...

Hands down winner of the coveted "Anecdote of the Day" award for me

Sorry you got burned OP. I've bought and sold plenty on the forums (more than my feedback represents because some folks seem to vanish after the deal is done, but that's another thread...) and the only time I got burned was on a neck that had a broken truss rod that the seller failed to...

You know I was thinking more about this and I bet you're right. Perhaps I should have said "I need to learn how to get that tone with my TC112 and other gear." TBH I bet the cab could do it pretty well if I fed it the right signal. In addition I bet there is a good amount of signal processing...

Just chiming in to say that I too love the neo soul sound, though I must admit to not having much of an idea of how to get it as I haven't really tried. I have a TC112 v.1 with a shuttle 9 which I find to be quite smooth, but perhaps not quite enough "presence" to really nail that tone. I'd add...

Thanks for the input, all. I decided to pass on the trade this time around. I just couldn't justify having the NXT when I already have a nice upright available. Maybe some day in the future when I have more room and the extra cash I can add an EUB to the stable, but not today.

It does not, its a 4 string and I run a standard tuning. The extra string is definitely an attractive thought!

...you already have a DB? I got a trade offer for a NS Design NXT 5, passive version. Trade would be for a Am Dlx P that I no longer play. I'm curious about the NXT as I've never played one. Thing is... why not just use my upright? What would you do?

Oh, and definitely take a look around the DB side of the forums. Lots of knowledgeable folks over there, many of whom double themselves.

+1 for audiokinesis. It has been my doubling rig for the last 7 or so years. I use a Thubderchild 112 version 1, but I think any of Duke's cabs would be excellent, especially in an orchestral environment, because of the wide sound dispersion and ability to amplify the upright pretty...
