G&L Club Part 7

I think G&L wanted things to quiet down, hence the massive price increase and decrease in options.

It would be interesting to see from dealers if it worked. I suspect it did.

It is eerily quiet, and not just with G&L. The past couple/few weeks it's been pretty much crickets across the board for all the brands I carry.

Of the things that have sold, more than usual are coming back.

When I started getting serious about selling strings a year and a half ago, I was hoping strings would be the kind of thing that keeps selling even in the down times. That appears to have been overly optimistic. :rollno:

My guess is lots of folks are feeling a money pinch. And when they do decide to crack their wallets, whatever it is had better knock their socks off or it's getting returned.

Here's hoping for brighter days ahead!

Hello.

I am interested in purchasing a Aguilar Tone Hammer pedal/DI. Unfortunately, I won't get to try it before I buy it.

I am wondering if someone with a MFD equipped bass has used one. I am specifically wondering if the high output of the bass overloads this DI, when the volume knob of the bass is turned all the way up. Also, if anyone has any comments on the marriage between these two, I'm all ears.

I would be putting an L2000, M2000 and SB2 through it.

Thanks!

I have the THDI, I have 2 L1Ks and a SB-2. I pretty always run my basses at 100% volume. I also have the THDI as last on my pedalboard, with a bunch of pedals in front of it.

I've had the signal from the THDI go into my amp instrument input as well as to a PA that then provides IEM support. In either case, I don't feel like there's any overload or oddness. I do have to manage the main volume out on the THDI at times so the signal isn't to hot going into the PA.

FWIW, here's a video I shot a few weeks ago; I had just gotten that L-1000 in the video and have it going through the above board. Any overdrive you hear is either from the Spark, the AGS circuit on the THDI or the Orange tubes being overdriven. Hope this helps:

It's the nature of the beast, I hope you'll hear a different kind of noise before long!!
