Chef's Carvin B1500...

[BassJunkie730]

Chef,

I fyou have or get your hands on a Fishman Dual Parametric DI - that might just be the ticket for doubling the B1500 with your Upright.

Or any small box fully parametric EQ for that matter

But then again - that's if you want to drag a 34lb amp with a huge cabinet along with an already unwieldy instrument.

However - it might just be the ticket for when you play those massive outdoor jazz festivals


I think I need to say "just the ticket" again


...ahhh redundancy

The Eden Navigator+qsc/plx 1602 gives me big power, and parametric

So Chef, hows the Carvin holding out for you? Good friends? Bump for an update! Thanks

It wasn't a good flavor for me; I need parametric eq.
Flipped it some months ago.

Once you get spoiled with the Eden EQ, it's hard to trust anything else, I think. I know I'm spoiled.

Working great for me

Thanks for the deal Chef

Pounder: awesome!

Funny..... my Navagator Pre didn't have para EQ. Swept, yes. Para?? No....

Just keeping you honest, or picking nits, or something.

From the eden website:
"Our WP100 preamp features a tube input stage, dbx type compression with variable threshold and rate controls, tube character control, enhance control, the famous Eden semi-parametric eq,"

How would you describe the diffs between what you call a "swept" vs a "parametric"?

 

[lowmid1]

Isn't a parametric eq. one that allows you to set frequency center, bandwidth or Q and level (cut or boost) and a semi parametric allows you to set frequency center, level (cut or boost) but has a fixed bandwidth or Q?

 

[bass-shy]

That's the way I understand it.

Isn't a parametric eq. one that allows you to set frequency center, bandwidth or Q and level (cut or boost) and a semi parametric allows you to set frequency center, level (cut or boost) but has a fixed bandwidth or Q?

That's my understanding as well.

 

[BassikLee]

Exactly, and as such, the Eden's EQ is not a parametric eq. It is a fixed Q, swept frequency EQ. Very nice for what it is, but it is no parametric.

 

[Chef]

Well the Eden's semi para eq, such as it is, lets me pick problem frequencies, and dial them out.
Or in.
As does the Mesa Walkabout, and TFB420.
And, as the Carvin B 1500 does not.

So, she's gone.

YMMV;
