    Please Help Me Decide! EBMM Stingray 5 Upgrades & Maintenance

    Ooh, good point! Here you go! In response to a few other questions, I took it in and asked for a fret level/polish and basic setup. I definitely do agree (unfortunately in retrospect) that the tech would have reached out about action preference as he was out the day I took it to the local...

    Please Help Me Decide! EBMM Stingray 5 Upgrades & Maintenance

    Happy Monday (or whatever day you may be reading this)! In the past year, I purchased a 1994 Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray 5 from the widow of a well-known musician around my city. She was very emotional about this as it was his favorite instrument and a big reminder to her of who he was. I was...

    Should I Be Content Or Upgrade? - Creation Audio Grizzly Vs...

    A fair suggestion! I’ll give them more of a look!

    Should I Be Content Or Upgrade? - Creation Audio Grizzly Vs...

    Honestly, that’s a good suggestion! It may help to view it as gain staging (ie: 1st Stage - Grizzly, 2nd Stage - add RJ Overdrive, 3 - Add RJ Fuzz, 4th Stage - Treble boost switch) instead of just 2 separate channels.

    Should I Be Content Or Upgrade? - Creation Audio Grizzly Vs...

    Hi all! I am planning on upgrading my pedalboard and while doing so, I need some advice from you! Here's where I'm at: My main uses for this pedalboard are for CCM/Rock/Funk/Pop. I have upgraded my fuzz to a Beetronix Royal Jelly which includes both a fuzz and hard-clipping...

    That is a very interesting option! I’m not finding any V2 version anywhere online, but maybe I’m looking in the wrong spot. All that being said, I really do like that option!

    I Need Some Help! Clean Preamp/DI Pedal Choices

    In spite of searching online for hours, I figured it might be a decent idea to ask the many people of experience and opinion on this glorious website. I am searching for a Preamp/DI pedal to go at the end of my signal chain on my pedalboard. This will both run DI into a PA and also into an amp...

    Aaaaand right after my amp came in the mail...

    There's a reason why I don't look for things online after I make a big purchase. My GK 400RB III and Tech 21 B410 came in today and sound great together! Unfortunately, this little deal came up on craigslist not too long after. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Do I regret buying my current...

    Did I Receive a Broken Amp? Ashdown Mag 300 Evo II Questions...

    Thank you so much for all the replies. Thankfully, I was able to borrow an 8 ohm speaker to test the output and even though the minimum ohms are 4, the output was abysmal. My 20 watt practice amp is louder. I think it’s best as recommended to return the amp to guitar center. Unfortunately I...

    Did I Receive a Broken Amp? Ashdown Mag 300 Evo II Questions...

    Hello all, I just received a used Ashdown Mag 300 Evo II Head in the mail from Guitar Center and upon plugging the amp head via XLR out into my computer audio interface, found that the input gain along with the VU meter showed little to no gain until the pre-EQ gain was turned all the way up...

    NBD x2 - Neck-Through Boogaloo

    The Kestrel came in with no problems whatsoever, that being said, the D4 needed some love. It was strung with the nastiest red-coated strings I've ever felt and was both grimy and greasy. Nothing a little cleaner couldn't fix, but it still amazes me how some people will mistreat such expensive...

    NBD x2 - Neck-Through Boogaloo

    Well, the Christmas season is over and I have come out with less energy and more basses! I managed to be pretty lucky in gift cards received from relatives and saved up money. I bought a Mint condition 2014 PRS SE Kestrel in Metallic Red and traded for an ESP LTD D4 that needed some love.

    I really have no clue what I'm doing wrong here! Help!

    I ended up buying a separate 18v supply that I plug in to the pedal with the polarity adapter

    Can I hack my way to a better tone? - Royal Blood sound?

    I’ll definitely write a follow-up when possible, but I’m also at college so it’s fun having most of my stuff a drive away. My goal kinda starts with being able to play the Royal Blood stuff for my own amusement and building my own tone and style from there. Definitely taking the advice of better...

    Can I hack my way to a better tone? - Royal Blood sound?

    I really do appreciate the help from everyone, but I really am looking more into Sub-N-Up toneprint settings, Preamp EQ, and Amp EQ for the octave-up tone. I probabaly should state that I do have a separate amp running for bass as well. Clean bass really doesn't fit into the overall sound well...

    Can I hack my way to a better tone? - Royal Blood sound?

    So here's my dilemma: I'm trying to build a decent-but-cheap rig to get a sound similar to Royal Blood. If you haven't heard of them yet, think The White Stripes, but backwards. The bassist/lead singer, Mike Kerr, is using multiple guitar and bass amps with pitch-shifting pedals to build a...

    Who Has A Pet Named After A Famous Musician?

    Definitely getting a cat in the future and naming it Flea. That's just a given

    I really have no clue what I'm doing wrong here! Help!

    Thanks everyone! You definitely helped me fix the problem! I ended up ordering a separate power supply for my "Problem Child" :D I'm away for one day and this thread blows up outta nowhere and I really appreciate that! To answer some things brought up: My board is definitely busy, but I like...

    I really have no clue what I'm doing wrong here! Help!

    It does what it promises for sure, nothing more, nothing less. I find myself using it less and less but it really completes my sound for really solid and simple bass lines that aim to thump.

    I really have no clue what I'm doing wrong here! Help!

    I bought mine used, so it didn't have the power supply. But I'll be ordering one soon. I went through all the options for making it work, and it's definitely just needing more power. Hope that'll all work soon enough!

    I really have no clue what I'm doing wrong here! Help!

    I can confirm that I at least have the right polarity

    I really have no clue what I'm doing wrong here! Help!

    Makes sense, would that be why it won't work with the rest when plugged in together? Even when I connect my last pedal to the WTDI and play directly into the Blue chorus pedal, it won't work when they're both plugged in. Basically, even if they're turned on, it takes more power when there's a...

    I really have no clue what I'm doing wrong here! Help!

    So I did some more testing and found that when all the pedals are plugged in and engaged (just to make sure) The WTDI still runs just fine when connected to the supply as long as I plug directly into it. I'm assuming you're right with there just not being enough power, but it's weird that they...

    I really have no clue what I'm doing wrong here! Help!

    Forgot to add in that I know all the cables in between work, they have all been tested and have no problems!

    I really have no clue what I'm doing wrong here! Help!

    Another day, another gear question. So I just received my new Eden WTDI in the mail and it really has improved my tone significantly! The thing is, it only works when plugged in to it's own power supply. While running the pedal by itself, or with another pedal that is running on battery power...

    Help Me Choose A Cheap Amp Head!

    Definitely not going on world tours anytime soon, just kind of thinking ahead so I wouldn’t have to buy another if some miracle gig comes up. I’d bet my money it wouldn’t happen, but ya never know! Thankfully, the heads I’ve seen all at least have a XLR out, some with adjustable levels and some...

    Help Me Choose A Cheap Amp Head!

    I am pretty interested in going through the Preamp pedal to power amp route since I do play into DI boxes a lot of the time for jazz band and Worship bands in auditoriums. Definitely something I'll start looking into. You're saying Crown is a decent brand for the price? Any other specific ones...

    Help Me Choose A Cheap Amp Head!

    I totally agree with ya. I got the amp to work on the low gain input and it wasn't awful but since I have the option, I'm hoping to change up the head anyway.
