2 preamps 1 power amp, biamping connection?

you would need some type of a mixer. i use a rane mlm-42. 1 rack space and up to four channels.

 

there are a number of ways to split your mono bass signal before the preamps.

 

Oh, I see what you are saying. Yeah, some type of splitter. I thought you needed to combine your preamp signals to run to your poweramp.

 

If you don't need the effects loop of the Navigator you can connect the Demeter line out to the efects return of the Navigator.

A variant on the mixer suggestion; if you don't need to use both preamps at the same time you can use a signal switcher (A/B box) between the preamps and the power amp. To be sure it can handle line level without degrading the signal, compare the sound going through the A/B box to the sound when going directly into the amp. If you can't hear a differrence you should be OK. A/B boxes aren't mixers, so don't connect both preamps at once (if you have a A/B/Y box).

 

there are a number of ways to go..
you can split the signal from the bass and feed two separate preamps then into the two separate channels of the stereo power amp into two cabs.

another way would be to use a crossover before the power amp and send separate high and low signals to each cab..for that, one preamp would do.

there are other ways to do this as well..

I use two pres because my bass puts out two signals.

** edit** sorry, I posted before I read your last post.**

 

what exactly are you going for?
do you want to send two separate signals to two separate cabs? are those signals going thru the x-over?
do you want the second pre for extra tone shaping of one of the signals?

 

Are you running the Rane into a preamp and then to the power amp? If so, does the output of the mixer overdrive the input on the preamp? I'm thinking of doing something similar, but I'm concerned about overloading the preamp or getting an impedance mismatch of some sort.

 

Run the demeter off the tuner out. That is pre-eq.

Now run demeter out into the aux input.

To have just the demeter EQ, hit the tuner mute. Demeter is only thing with a signal, nav EQ is bypassed. To get Nav only, turn Aux level all the way down. To blend both, bring aux level up to desired balance.

If you run mono, no problem. You have to split the demeter output into 2 sigs for auxL and auxR inputs if you want stereo, even though the demeter is mono signal.

brilliant!!!
excellent post/info

I run the direct outs from my preamps into the rane mlm-42, then send the mixed signal from the rane to a poweramp and to the house PA. The Rane has an output level control that can take you from low to very hot. I am very happy with the unit. Check out their site...http://www.rane.com/mlm42.html

 

Ah ha, I see. I'm trying to do something different. I want to parallel two effects (Bass Pod and Digitech RP21D) into my preamp. I've tried just plugging both effects into the two inputs on the preamp, but it doesn't like that much. I'm considering getting a rackmount mixer, plugging the effects into that and then running the mixer into the preamp, but I'm not sure how well that's going to work either.
