Hi everyone,
I recently purchased an Origin Effects Bassrig Super Vintage pedal. I like it a lot and I've already used it on a coue gigs. Last night at a rehearsal the provided backline was some sort of Galien Kruger amp with Jo effects loop. I had to plug in the front of the amp. No matter what I did, it sounded bad. The cab was a 6x10 Ampeg, no tweeter. How do you guys set yours? Looking for ideas.

What you would normally want to do is plug the 1/4" out of the SV into the Return on the amp so that you are bypassing the Pre-amp of the amp and relying upon the SV as the preamp. If the amp had no Return like you mentioned, I guess trying everything flat on the amp would be my next attempt. Better yet just use the SV Pre and no amp and rely upon stage monitors and PA support.

Thank you for your reply. This was in a rehearsal room so no stage monitors or PA besides the vocal mics

Do a TB or Google search for “flat response [insert particular GK amp model]” and you should find something helpful. Here’s a thread on the 800RB setting:

Just to update this thread, I've been doing a lot of research on Ampeg and the different versions of the SVT. I've concluded that I prefer the sound of the SVT 350 over the vintage SVT that this pedal is modeled after. I've decided to sell the pedal. I'm disappointed in myself and sorry for all the anticipation I had waiting to save up for this thing and now it's for nothing. I still have my SCR-DI and its little brother, the Ampeg Classic pedal so I'll carry on with those until something else catches my attention.
