Jule Amps Monique part 5

Thought I’d share my rig. Monique started out as a bird cage but every lady should have a little black dress so when the bamboo housing popped up she just had to get dressed up.

Very few of those around. Thank you for the pic.

Is the fire bottle your dirt pedal? Yes, also saw your power supply, it’s definitely needed. I’m new to bass and if my work band takes off I’ll invest in some Effectrode gear. It’s a big spend commitment if I’m not gigging regularly. But the L1 probably sounds amazing on acoustic guitar. I just picked up a used Diamond Bass comp based on Scubadubba’s recommendation from the epic compressor thread.
 
That’s a lot of Effectrode hardware, 2 comps?? Can you share how you use them together?

I use the PC-2A for mild compression and warm tube gain. The LA-1A is used as a limiter and added warm. They are well build and dead quiet. The Fire Bottle is used for some added gain for my passive pickups and more tube warmth. With three pedals the power supply was necessary. Plus it could still power my standard 9 volt pedals.

One might say I was somewhat interested in tube devices?
 
Yesterday at a Vegan Fest (Not Vegan) Monique rack mount on IP310 with Ashbory. Oh my!

I owned the Glockenklang before Jule introduced Monique. It is, to me, the warmest most articulate SS pre I’ve ever played. An Ashbory needs no enhancements, just clear pass through. Yet the times I’ve played the Monique it delivers this extra syrup! When I bend a note it goes there up and down and never lets go until I end the note. Meanwhile all that clarity is still there. All that phat low end with buttery mids. It’s my go to!

So thank you, Jule!

I have always wished I thought I could write a book or two until I read the above. I will henceforth forego that quest, and continue to snort solder smoke, a task more suited to my qualifications.

You, my friend, are a wordsmith and a musician. I am in awe.

I appreciate your praise of my writing. Meanwhile we have different things to say and in different ways. We’ve had different lives and that scope of vision can touch someone in a way another’s doesn’t. So please write that book or two!
We want to read them!
