Noble Amps Preamp

I run a noble with glock blue rock. Best amp DI combo possible imo. I tried many combos including the Jule m700. Glock won out and has fantastic options.

Not cheap, but the power section on glockenklang stuff is so smooth, loud and quick. Pairing my Glock Blue Soul with a Monique was the best tone I've ever had. Very interested to see how the Noble would do in front of the Glock, the footprint is so perfect!
 
Has anyone had issues with the level of the DI out on the Noble not gov My enough output signal to a board? I'm using my Noble at the end of my pedal chain, running via XLR to our snake (which goes into our board and we run tails out to the FOH). Several soundpeople have commented that my bass signal to them was low and they had to use a bit more gain than normal to bring it to a usable level.

Has anyone else had a similar issue? I think it's gotta be an issue with our tails but was curious if this has been a problem for anyone else using the Noble XLR out.

Not here. It always gives the FOH what they want, and often they have to cut the trim pot back.

Plugged this into the rehearsal room amp and the Noble worked its magic
 
I've been using my Noble for almost a year and a half, in live band situations, and in church directly to the FOH. I have tried a number of configurations with tone controls, and HPF. Currently I dial the bass to 9 to 10 o'clock and the treble at about 1 and the HPF engaged. The FOH guys love it, and I love the sound I get in my in-ears :) An added benefit with the HPF is that it cleans up the signal in the mains through the subs (we have multiple), and they love the impact and the clarity I get.

For live, I tried going directly to the power in my Genzler Magellan 800. But, with the added flexibility of tweaking the sound of the amp, (and using some of it's features) without messing with the FOH signal, keeps me happy with the results I get going into the instrument input.

I've posted this pic a while back, but here is my typical setup, and my typical settings.

Is that the PT Nano or Nano Plus?
 
That was a Nano Plus. I now use a Metro 20 for my small board and Pedal Pad AXS III for my 'big' pedalboard.

Thanks. I've never used a pedal board but am thinking about it now that Noble is always in the chain. Normally I have the Noble and two standard pedals, which I think would fit on a Nano. But I'm wondering if it's too much of a squeeze, making the Nano Plus the right choice.

What are the other pedals?

I was able to fit a Polytune Mini, Keeley Bassist, and Noble on a Nano. I'll see if I can find a pic but I seem to remember there wasn't room for anything else.

The chain is:
  1. Sonic Research Turbo Tuner ST-300
  2. Malekko Sneak Attack
  3. Noble
There are two other pedals I rarely use, so it's unimportant to carry them around 100% of the time.

That will absolutely fit on the Nano.

Depending on what the others are, the Nano+ or Metro 16 may be an option to just have all of it. IME it's hard to add pedals that aren't on a board to a group that are on a board.

When I had my Noble, it was on a Nano with my Korg Pitchblack, and MXR Bass Comp with G30 transmitter underneath.. no overhang
