Taking pictures while I'm driving is becoming a thing. Do you think this Prius has a big block under the hood?

Hi!

I bought a used Monique Rackmount with Hypex 700w module installed by a local tech. The fuse blew up when I put it on. What is the correct Fuse type with 230V outlet?

It is best that you talk to the local tech to find out what he has done, and what he recommends. Unfortunately, there is no way for anyone else to know.

The Jule Amps 700 watt Monique versions are not simply Monique with an amplifier added. There are additional/different components, additional circuitry, wiring, ventilation, and active cooling.

I like! What are your settings on the Jazz?

Thank you, Jule, for what you do.

The Monique Tardis (800w) going through a MAS 66 and a MAS 110 sub was the better choice for my sound on this stage.

I really enjoy reading about this great sounding pre.

Had to smile; the gear next to yours looks like my rig--looks like a Sadowsky SA200 head through a Bergie.

31Hz, have we played together recently?

Thank you. And it even looks like a beautiful day for music.

I played through an SA200 > SA410 + Berg HS210 stack for the first set. It's a great, great rig. But I needed to cut through the muddy stage mix a little more.

Yeah, that's a big round tone, but I know what you mean. Better, maybe, for a classic rock type sound.

So I can move my digression back to the topic, please tell me the difference in tone you got when you switched to the Tardis.

The Monique Tardis was a rounder and smoother tone, with less rumble and less grind (I had the "Fat" selector engaged on the SA200 in an effort to cut through), and just ... easier to hear. More clarity. Which made it easier to play.

I liked the SA200 tone maybe a little better when I was alone in the mix, say on an intro to a song. But the rest of the time -- when the band kicked in -- I couldn't hear myself. Kind of like when you hear a bass intro to a song on the radio: by itself, the bass sounds monstrous, and then the mix fills up and you don't hear it anymore. With Monique, I can hear myself through the mix, and it's a very ... faithful tone, without feeling boosted or sculpted anywhere. It's big, honest, transient, clear and pure.

This stuff is hard to describe. I only posted above because I wanted to show that Monique keeps very, very good company.

Thanks for your description. It's interesting to me that when I see a Monique, the bass player attached to it is usually a rather special player.

I am, unfortunately, an exception to your otherwise valid empirical observation!

Living as I do with Monique, you would think I could describe the playing characteristics and tone very well. It is difficult to describe. I try not to. I do know from many demo's that you can hear/feel the difference in about three notes. That, for me, is always fun to watch.

My shop is small and full of thousands of rattling things, but we do have fun there.

Then again, I guess we can all consider ourselves special simply because we play through Monique!

Just got done refinishing this cab in duratex and 70s grill cloth. To keep it real I actually prefer the V4b with this cab and my Pj5 with flats. Think I may look to pick up a mid sized ported cab for Mo. But no doubt it still sounds really good.
