And tap dancing that pedalboard!
Bass sounds cool and all, but I think your vocal power could make up for even a bad bass tone!

Royal Blood does pretty much the same thing.
Thank you! The song is in fact a cover but the voice is mine lol We'll post some original stuff soon enough.
so is that a POG? or a POG2? sorry if you mentioned it already, i was lazy and didn't read the whole thread. nice voice, and band sounds cool. how nice it would be to only have to mesh with 1 other, rather than a big band!
Right now there is a POG 2 on the guitar side and a Soul POG on the bass side. Of course there are a ton more I'd like to experiment with. I recently realized I like pedals that have a "momentary switch". So fun lol
Not to pee in the Post Toasties; but, this setup with unaffected/affected signals going to different amps isn't what I normally relate to biamping. Cool setup and sound; but, traditional biamping used to mean splitting low and high signals to low and high drivers, intended to sound like one instrument.
Regarding the latter approach, I never gigged a biamp setup that I cared for. Probably because the drivers were never correctly matched; and it always seemed like there was a big hole in the lower mids where Bass lives.
This approach is fresh and creative. Nicely done.
But, maybe, I missed something.

I would have to assume you are correct. The term bi-amp (to me) means using two amps but I really dont know for sure. It's really just the best term I can come up with. I've tried explaining to some what it is we do as a two piece with lead bass and I just see their eyeballs rolling in to their heads hahaha
Perhaps, "dual amp" is more accurately descriptive. My $0.019
I dig it. Found and "liked" y'alls Facebook page. I had messed around with a setup like that for a bit. It is fun.
Yeah, probably not us as we're only recently (last 6 months ) doing this. If you recall who it was, we'd love to check them out. Not too many similar set ups out there that we can find and we'd love to connect with more of them
Probably Clatter?
Nothing like bi or even tri amping when you need to cover a lot of sonic space. My biamping day's we left behind when I stopped playing in a power trio back in the 70's. sure was a lot of fun. Glad you are bringing it back into vogue.
I don't if you call it "bi-amping" but I use the Ric-o-sound feature of my Rickenbacker whenever time and space allows me to bring both amps on stage with me, and it sounds glorious, it's what Rics were meant to do. My band has two guitars already, though, so I'm not using any octave up tricks or anything.
I also love Clatter, look up their video for House of Trouble, it's one of the greatest Rickenbacker bass sounds ever. I own a few of their albums.
Great performance, playing and voice, cheers!

To my ears the most effective 'multi amping' regardless of the words are more of a venn diagram than (Peavey, etc) a single crossover in an amp sending high or low to another. Too much character is lost from both amps without some overlap.
The best sonic joy I have had was with stereo pedals out to a pair of AC30's and a pair of Peaveys, using a pair of HPF/LPF rack effects. Did not use the Peavey's built in crossovers. I don't remember the exact settings but I want to say the HPF was around 350 and the LPF was at 500, so that the bass amp can have low & high mids, and the guitar amp can have 'lows'.
Having done it just goofing around, I fully acknowledge this is ridiculous for everyone but the true believer. I think it has to be the right guitar amp (or the HPF adjusted perhaps) and although the bass amp probably doesn't matter as much, I like the sound I got out of the Peaveys but could understand if it didn't work for everyone.
I really dig the groove of this, and love your voice! I hope this really takes off for you!
pretty much this. I've known for years that a band could get by with just drums and bass guitar and vocals (especially with a separate clank amp), but the vocals have to be legitamitely good. Yours are friggin gooood. Like, your Vox or pog could crap out and the show would still be fine "good".
Compulsive pedantics: Thread title is accurate IMO. "Twin amping" would be more accurate for what Bucephylus is talking about, regardless of what they called it in the day.
Though I was a kid in the 80s-90s when so many bassists were using rackmounted crossover'd space command soundwave amplificator machines, I never thought any of them sounded half as good as either Chris Squire or tons of monoamp players.
I liked that considerably more than I expected -- mainly because you have a great voice!
I know you said you don't need a guitar anymore, but I'll just say that you guys sound like you have a lot of potential, and you'd have so many more sonic options with an additional harmonic instrument... whether it's guitar, keys, sax, didgeridoo, whatever. But, of course, you must follow your muse, so good luck with the band whatever you do.
