Hello,
First of all, I'm sorry if my questions are kind of frequently asked, but I did some research so I hope you can answer with only yes or no
(just don't RTFM me, we're talking Orange here
- they don't come with any information)
The new amp is an Orange Terror Bass. I'm still awaiting a GS112 cab, which I think should make a nice first gig-worthy rig.
First question; I read some amplifiers like the Little Mark series have a DI level pot, but how is the output level controlled on amps without such a knob? Is it controlled by the preamp gain or is it fixed, or... ?
Other question; I'm familiar with tube amps and I know you can't run them without a load, but since the TB has got a solid state final, you can perfectly run the amp without a cab, right?
As far as I know (I can be wrong), the amp hasn't got an output trannie.
So, that means I can still record some sounds of it using the DI with only a XLR to mini-jack cable straight into the laptop, without a cab/load hooked up?
Last one - when you play a gig with PA support and they DI you, will you still have sound trough your cabs or is it cut like a headphones-out? Heard some things like stage bleed so I guess your cabs keep working? Like, the preamp gain controls the DI-level and the master will set the volume for the cabs?
Sorry for those noobish questions but hey, we all started somewhere.
Thanks in advance!
I might do some soundclips if you like...
