who has some interesting rigs to share for bass?

 

[Bright Midnight]

Got an issue since a couple of days: the volume of the Gigboard seems to have been halved from before. When I connect my bass directly with the amp I have again a normal volume, yet when I connect the Gigboard in between, the volume drops radically, even with all effects turned off and the volume on my bass maxed out, the volume on my amp passed noon, and the volume on the Gigboard passed noon. Something is going on, but can't figure it out.

Any help greatly appreciated

Does you signal chain have a vol. pedal on the screen ? if so ,try taking it out of the chain. I had this happen when I was trying to use different vol / wah pedals. once I took it off the screen ( deleted ) my volume came back.

No it doesn't. Had a comp, bass amp, distortion, vibrato and delay in the rig, yet the volume disappeared. Is there a way to restore the factory settings?

Yes there is... It involves holding down certain pedal buttons while you power it up and then follow the prompts. I personally have not looked up exactly which buttons to hold down.

Welcome to the Headrush Pedalboard and Gigboard Users Group.

This page is for sharing tips, patch/file sharing and generally answering questions about the Headrush boards.

So I’ll kick this off with a couple of questions:

1. Is there a complete list or some kind of translation of the types of bass amps and cabs?
Like, the Blue Line is modeled off of the “_______” or the Bass EQ is based off of “_______”.

2. How do you set your overall output volume? Do you do that from your rig or from the global settings?

Awesome unit. One of my pedal steel buddies uses it for doing frippertronics do make ambient music. He actually plays a ton of yoga gigs. Cool stuff.

Pheww....I just reset the factory settings and it's ok again now. Still strange I couldn't find the setting causing the loss of volume. But anyway, thanks for the input!

May be too late but you can control the In and Out Volumes. One or the other may have been too low. You generally would need to adjust based on the instrument you are using. You get to these settings by tapping the In and Out boxes at the beginning and end of the chain.

May be too late for the op , but I just learned something new.. THANKS !!

Got a new issue now, damn.... the looper won't let me save any new loops anymore...I get the same message over and over: 'export failed'..... ANy idea?

Too much already saved maybe? Think they can only hold 20 minutes worth.

Oh no, I've recorded a maximum of maybe 4 to 5 minutes

Strange. I've not used the looper much cause I use a Boss unit... so that is the limit to my knowledge

New firmware is out! Who tried it?

 

[Portamenti]

Meeeeeee!!

the looper and tuner are much improved. The B7000 stomp box model is rockin for bass or guitar.

I’ve also bi-amped with the engl amps doing the dirty work. V cool.

Question for you guys: could I do the following routing with the Headrush => bass => input Headrush => compressor => real amp

then have a separate chain of effects that would be linked into the Send and Return of the amp?

Yes. Unless I’m not understanding fully it would be no different than plugging your bass in the front of amp and using your fx send/return on amp.

Well, not entirely. I would plug my bass into the Gigboard and run the dry signal through a compressor on the board, which signal would then need to go the front of my amp.

I would want to use the Send/return for modulation fx. Separate from the compressor signal.

I've been looking at the 4 CM, but can't really see how it would split channels between compressed bass going into the front of the amp, and the modulation path....

If I'm getting you right, you would need to run the following cables:
Bass - Headrush input
Headrush FX send - Amp input
Amp FX send - Headrush FX return
Headrush output - Amp FX return.

You place the compressor first in line, then insert the FX loop, which will be the amp, after which you can do the modulation.
