It almost sounds like your plan was to buy a rack case first, then debate on what you want to put inside it. Bad idea. Wireless unit is always a good choice; thinking of the future. I used to use a SansAmp but really lost interest in them. It's a $300+ preamp that might be a pointless...

And I thought I was the only TB member who lives in white rock and knows about the awesome Tapestry music store!

When I bought my first compressor it was an MXR Super Comp. For my requirements, it was garbage. I sold it a few months after it gathered dust in the top drawer. After doing extensive research on TalkBass, I went and bought an EBS MultiComp. It's never been turned off since. Now I don't...

This is a great piece of information! It makes a lot of sense that I could be having this exact problem, since my head sits on top my cab (unheard of I know!!) and is subject to heavy vibrations for hours several times a week. Now... before I attempt open-heart surgery on my beloved (and now...

I didn't know the JDI was suitable for a speaker-level signal. Dayam, I just learned something new!

Need to put me on this list. Forgot to add myself a ways back. Someone update?

When you're like me and reach the point where you own almost everything you put on your GAS list, it becomes tiresome to go out of your way to find new gadgets to add to your wish list. I feel the way you do.

+1 on the compressor. They'll put a cap on those harsh signal peaks when you aggressively pluck the strings. There's a thread on compressors in this forum I urge you to check out! I use an EBS MultiComp, but I don't play slap bass in my project so who knows. But when I screw around with my...

I was curious if that was the reason the overdrive channel was still kicking full tilt when the problem first started. I'm a little nervous opening up the chassis of the head... but then again I'm sure replacing one tube isn't rocket science. They're not too expensive and at least it will...

I've owned a Titan V12 for over a year now (on a previous occasion shortly after purchase it was sent to Mesa headquarters for upgrades. Addition of a fan, replaced transformer, additional vents in chassis, etc.)... Just recently (September 2nd) I was playing a gig and I think my amp...

The HLF I believe is a 4ohm cab, and an SVT-3 Pro doesn't go lower than 4ohms. You'll need either more powerful amp, or something that isn't ampeg... I used to own the exact rig you're running. Never had Issues with distortion on higher volumes, but are you perhaps using an active bass...

The cord DOES suck, but I got a specially made (with a 90* connector) cable to replace the stock one. I've had no problems with my X2 rackmount, although it only sees use during live shows. When it comes to wireless I have NO experience at all with separate brands. Although I have heard lots...

Oooooohhhh I LOVE upgrades! When you get a new amp be sure to tell the folks on TB.

You can also experiment some more and throw the mod effects in the FX loop of your amp (if it has one), from what I understand this is the ideal location to get the most intense effects quality out of things like flange.

First rule of fx in the signal chain.... there are no rules! But the place to start firstoff is to place modulation fx after distorion fx. So I would start with Bass>OD>dist>lim/enh>flange>phase>amp I can never decide where compression fits best though.
