Mini Rigs of Doom Four

#2,021
My recently completed Mini Rig Of Doom! It makes the neighbors slightly edgy.

This is the kind of thing that qualifies as a mini rig - Genzler Magellan 350 and a Barefaced One10. Sounds great and surprisingly loud for its size. Not going to work in my classic rock and blues band's gigs, but it's great for small jams and can easily handle an acoustic(-ish) gig.

DIY MojoSonic 110 clone cab built by two local TBer friends, originally meant to fit a GK MB500 head. The little Traynor SB200H kills for my current wants and needs though: one hand grab and go rig for semi-acoustic jams up the street and a less wall rattling practice rig at home than my old 15/6/1 setup or my TC112AF, both of which I just sold off recently.

How does that work, going from the XLR out to the input on the Markbass combo?

That was a while back, so I had to look over the picture again to remember…but it went like thus:
Bass direct into VT DI, with separate outputs into the front of both amps. (This is to get the VT tone settings equally in both amps.)
I then ran all the effects through the efx loop of one of the amps, so I had a straight sound and an effected sound. Adjust individual amp volumes/tone settings to taste for balance.
It worked pretty well, but I sold the Mesamark combo, and the VT DI is pretty much the only effect I ever use.
I still have most of the effect pedals (the ebs octabass died, and i replaced it with an ebs phaser),
mostly just for noodling around at home.
Edit:and…..I may have misunderstood your question…I have the VT DI and the markbass 800 hooked up via a phantom power/xlr input jack on the Markbass.
Is that what you meant?

Yeah I just assumed that the XLR in on the MB was for upright and never thought to try it with a preamp DI XLR out. I was wondering about the gain/volume and how it works. Did it sound good, did it wrk ok?
