Even though I had an outdoor gig on Saturday, I’d already done my rig swap out for inside shows so I used the NC-212 instead of my BA cabs. It sounded great. This particular cab, due to my many times aforementioned bastardization, sounds a lot closer to the MG cabs with less low end and a more focused low mid (prior owner adding a ton of batting to make it sound more like a sealed cab). It will be good for indoor rooms but sounds a little too focused for me outdoors.

Still kicks like a mule though.

Oh, looks like some info slipped out a little early. Website page will be live tomorrow. We should be shipping before Thanksgiving. Works great with the 4 On The Floor too.

Your secret is safe with us. ;)

I’ll wait until tomorrow but I am curious how the EQ frequencies line up with the Magellan head. Overlap or essentially 8 bands?

And, as expected, it looks like a nice complement to the Magellan head.

The Re/Q midpoints, all nicely tucked in between and around the head EQ. :)

Because this can be a boost as well as HPF/LPF and EQ, I'm thinking it may replace the Broughton Messenger on my board instead of going in the open slot in the top left. This gives me options for when @Jeff Genzler and @agedhorse come out with their THIRD pedal! :thumbsup:

@Jamvan ---- Yes, the pedal is designed to work nicely with our Magellan heads and their EQ points. The RE/Q pedal offers Peak/Dip EQ networks, and the freq points for the 5 bands are: Low 90Hz; Low Mid 250Hz; Mid 630Hz; High Mid 1.3KHz; High 2.8KHz. These frequencies all fall nicely between the Shelving networks for the lows and highs of the Magellan amps.
The EQ network controls on the RE/Q are more graceful in the center range of each control to keep them a little more "musical" in the mid rotations of the control. They get more dramatic towards the farthest ranges of the controls /+ or -. The pedal also offers a cut/boost of 9dB which offers even more versatility of use. Makes a nice "clean boost" or an EQ/tonal shift or boost of a specific musical passage. This pedal will also be a nice option for doublers for added EQ flexibility of their upright basses.
