heavy bass distortion problems

[EricF]

Not just "3-band para", which could have as few as six knobs, if you stretch the definition (more properly called 'semi-parametric') -- but such poster says "TRUE 3-band", which is clearly specifying that the EQ section must have NINE controls.

Let's PLEASE be careful, friends! This forum is highly respected around the world - lets appreciate that, and be careful and thoughtful with specs, and other "facts".

Thanks -

Yeah, I think a lot of people think an EQ knob is a "parameter" (well, it is...) and therefore three band EQ would be three band "parametric", which of course it is not.

I think the confusion is knobs vs. sliders. Sliders are considered a "graphic" EQ, so knobs must be the other one (parametric), and that's not quite the case. When you start digging further into EQ's, it's not just variable frequencies and band widths, but also shapes (shelving, band pass, etc.)

This, my friends, is called "fun with freqs"!

Did he say he uses ODB3? No blender necessary for that pedal; it has a built-in clean blend.

I personally don't have any xp with the ODB3, but if it has a blend knob, then he might just need to play with that a little more. He might have it maxed out for distortion and no bass.

Okay. Fine then, I stand corrected. How about "Good and useful EQ"?

I'll go along with that.

Ohhhh, Man - yes indeed! That Muff'n is the most killerest OD.

Maybe not solving the real problem.... But when you like the sound of the Ampeg SVT but not the pounds, check the Orange AD200B. I have one, its not light but not a SVT to, I can take it anywhere. And better, the OD from the tube is realy good, IMHO much better than a SVT.

And I prefer the overdrive from a V-4 over an SVT.
