Thanks Ross...

What are the system requirements to use this type of situation live or in a studio?
Click to expand...
No problem at all - happy to help!

Our system requirements for GENOME are as follows:

Mac

macOS Catalina 10.15 or newer​

Intel i5 or Silicon processor 4 GB RAM Metal compatible GPU External Core Audio compatible audio hardware highly recommended

PC

Windows 10 (64-bit) or newer​

Intel i5 or AMD equivalent 64-bit processor 4 GB RAM OpenGL 2.0 compatible GPU External ASIO compatible audio hardware highly recommended

You would also need an audio interface and to optimise your system latency in your DAW. I have linked some support articles which detail how to do this:
Let me know if this helps! :)

@Ross Davies

I got my new (2nd) OPUS registered, up and running, reclaimed my account, extra cabinet IR's and made five presets in short order...

I did reply to an open ticket as I saw the WGrandBlvd (Ampeg B-15N) cabinet IR, but thought it may only able to function with Genome?

Thanks for getting back to me and great news! I am so pleased you are setup with your second OPUS.

The WGrandBlvd DynIR is 100% compatible with OPUS for sure! If you have any questions concerning how to get this into the device, let me know!

Can the Opus run power amp emulation without using the built in preamps? I've got a few nice preamp pedals and the Opus sounds like a good option for the end of the chain.

It most certainly can! Every processing block in OPUS' architecture can be turned on and off for ultimate flexibility. For example, I use OPUS with ReVolt Bass where I disable the preamp but retain the poweramp and cabinet emulation. Let me know if this helps and if you have any other questions, I am more than happy to help!

Ace, cheers for that!

I'll have a ponder. It's an extravagance right now with no band or gigs on the horizon, but it'll really tie the board together nicely!

Hey hey all, loving the new update with the Foundry TSM bass. What preamp is this emulating?
Click to expand...
Hey Bass Ape, Glad to hear you're enjoying it - with all our TSM Amps, they are not based on a specific amplifier but if we were to pin it down, it is loosely based on our Fender Bassman - please note however we have made multiple tweaks to get the best response possible!

Digging using the "not an Ampeg" at edge of breakup, and the "not a fender bass man" at maybe 75% so it's nice and wooly... Well done with those preamps! The new more modern sounding one (aviator) is pretty fun, too. Wondering if that's based on a GK or something.

The cab and mic sim part gets more attention obviously, myself included (only recently dug into the preamps as a "one pedal for one nest and potatoes direct tone" vs using my full board for certain things), but the preamps are pretty solid running into a power amp sim + processing to taste, all within the Opus.

Glad to hear you're enjoying the update and our TSM Preamps! In terms of Aviator, this is a proprietary design that originally started life as a DarkGlass esc tone - I find using the custom EQ in tandem with this, no poweramp and no cab provides a killer contemporary tone! Let me know if you have any questions concerning this.

Such a.versitile little box. And space to grow with free updates and new TSM Pres.

I found a lot of value in being able to demo potential cabinets before buying.

So I changed my setup quite significantly today. Removed my comp from the top of my chain (because I sold it) and playing my passive bass thru my rig. Bass > revolt <> fx <> Opus, and I have a significant drop in signal between the revolt and the opus. Even with the revolt cranked, the input signal level on the opus does not even register.

Plugged the headphones into the revolt and it’s banging loud. Plugged my bass into the opus and it’s registering the incoming signal like I would expect.

Removed the FX loop, no change.

Opus is set to “line in” from the revolt. First time I’ve had a level issue and would expect the pre to boost my signal from my passive bass. First time playing without the comp at the top of the chain and I’m scratching my head.

Any suggestions?

User error, I had the pad on for the active bass. Nothing to see here. Everything to hear here.

@Ross Davies

Not having researched this...

The OPUS shows 1/4" TRS IN & 1/4" TRS OUT

In the context of EFX routing and having mentioned that DELAY is better AFTER OPUS.

Q: Is it possible to send a Mono NO can sim, but with amp modeled signal, to the 1/4" TRS OUT and have a DUAL MONO signal to L/R stereo effect inputs and then to a Boss RE-2 Space Echo stereo inputs to record in stereo with separated spacial effects field? (Leaving the XLR/DI with the cab sim applied MONO with no stereo post effects processing?)

Thanks!

Thanks for reaching out! You certainly can! From the 1/4-inch Line Output, you can send a separate signal only containing a portion of the DSP signal within OPUS' processing architecture - this is actioned via the Dual Output Routing Mode menu in the Global (Cog Icon) menu. Provided your effect devices post OPUS can accept a Mono signal and convert this to Stereo, there is no issue here. The XLR output will always contain the full OPUS processing chain.

Let me know if this helps and if you need anything else, I am here to assist!

Hi Ross,

So is the OUTPUT 1/4" TRS jack capable of a DUAL MONO output OR just a single mono output?

Will an EBS "Y" cable (1x 1/4" TRS to 2 x 1/4" TS) work from OPUS have a mono signal on each leg?

(Of course, most stereo effects can support mono input and stereo output with internal separation of some type...very common)

Thanks!
