Bergantino B/Amp at NAMM
- Thread starter Munjibunga
- Start date
Only between gigs, based on cabs to be used. During a gig, just the memory slots. This is on a B|Amp, of course.
I'm thinking about buying the pedal. I typically keep my EQ the same for the entire service (church).
We might be talking about two different features here. Are you referring to the speaker profiles or the memory presets?
How about a B|Amp pre in a pedal format for amp-less gigs?
One of my bands is moving towards going amp-less and so I am planning a pedal board.
I realized I was about to recreate the functionality of the B|Amp in a pedal board.
I know I could use the B|Amp as a DI and ignore the power amp but that doesn't seem like a practical approach.
Can anyone recommend an already available preamp pedal that has the features (and sound quality) of the B|Amp? Maybe with IR profiles instead of cab profiles? (I have searched for preamp threads and read many of them - not found anything with as good a feature set as the B|Amp).

I switch between presets regularly during gigs.
One set up with a li'l drive, one with a lotta drive.
That's similar to how I did it ( and is also how I have one of my Eventide H9's set up currently).
The B|Amp, IMO, is an extremely powerful tool. Adding the pedal makes the tool much easier to use in a live situation.
Just curious, what happens if I lose the dongle for the Bluetooth pedal? It hasn't happened, but just curious.

Simple. You just buy a new one! ;-} You can leave it in the USB port if you would like, even when not using the pedal.

Correct, but they're not that cheap as there is a developmental software and programming cost associated with them. So please be careful not to lose it. In fact we did a firmware update along the way so that you can leave it in the B|AMP's USB port without it continually searching for the pedal (times out after 1 minute with no pairing). I wouldn't want to see you have to purchase a new one.
I imagine we wont know until January but my guess is yes.
Dude, my wallet is already hurting from some pedals and recording gear I just picked up in Nashville last week. If Jim is developing a B Amp HP...well, I won't be surprise if Visa sends me an email saying "Sell your Aguilar rig first, Kevan".
