    Mesa/Boogie Subway D-800 + cabinet simulator

    It’s great to know about the mild cab sim on the XLR outputs of the Subway amps, but I can’t seem to see it in the user manual. I have the D800, and the owner’s manual only specifies a cab emulation on the headphone out.

    Pondering Some New Ideas, Need Some Input

    Although I have never played a 400/400+, I would love to see the great features already included on the D800 that I own (headphone out, Aux in, simple EQ/easy-to-use voicing type control, pre/post EQ DI. Other features that I would personally like to see, although unsure if they would be...

    The Official Fender Precision Bass Club (Part 8)

    Thanks, that’s great to know! I had been considering something like a Lollar/Curtas Novak or even an EMG GZR, but the PV 63 sounds like it could be a good option.

    how have you found the PV 63 compared to the VMOD that came with your fender professional? I have one too and have been curious about other pickup options.

    PYPB 44: ...like Tetris with boxes, wires and cables

    Any issues powering the OCS mini and microtubes X with the Noble?

    Microtubes X

    Does this occur on the X as well, or only the X7?

    NPD DSM Noisemaker OmniCabSim

    Thankfully a second hand Barefaced Super Midget just came up for sale here in NZ so I snapped that up - couldn’t believe my luck. That should hopefully solve my dilemma as an omnicabsim mini running into the noble and then into that cab should sound great since it’s FRFR. Just need to get an amp...

    Damn, that sounds like a nice rig. Any reason why you never ran the Noble and OCSD together?

    Thanks for the helpful replies! Looks like I can’t go wrong with the Cab Sim before or after the Noble. I feel like a pre order for the mini is almost inevitable.

    NPD DSM Noisemaker OmniCabSim

    Thanks, that makes sense! I was actually looking at the MB-210 as an amp option but I couldn’t see a way of bypassing the preamp e.g effects return.

    NPD DSM Noisemaker OmniCabSim

    Thanks for the input, would I be losing much in DI quality using the omnicabsim as last in the chain compared to the noble?

    NPD DSM Noisemaker OmniCabSim

    Oh cool, that’s good to hear that it won’t sound weird and I could definitely try tweaking it to sound like the cab I’m using as you suggested. I guess it could also improve the sound of the cab too? Any other people running a similar setup? I’m looking at buying a bigger amp atm, possibly a...

    NPD DSM Noisemaker OmniCabSim

    I’m close to pulling the trigger but I’m a bit unsure if it’ll work me. I’ve got a Noble DI that I like to run last in my chain so I’ll probably use the omnicabsim before it, and after my dirt pedals. I usually run a DI to FOH from the Noble and then the Noble’s 1/4 inch out goes to a combo...

    Official Darkglass Club: Welcome to the Darkside

    Thanks for that, will definitely keep an eye out for the new mini omnicabsim. I briefly had the omnicabsim deluxe a while ago but it created a lot of white noise to my signal and the headphone out was unusable because of this. I think it might have been faulty so I sent it back. I imagine you...

    Official Darkglass Club: Welcome to the Darkside

    Since there is only active filtering on the DI, Is there any other way of getting a “cab-sim like effect” if you are running this into another preamp (e.g Noble in my case) and straight to FOH? Would the high shelf on the X7 do this?
