Because I use Temple boards it has a bunch of holes, I unscrewed the feet lined up the holes and screwed the feet back on from the bottom of the board. It works great I have my Quilter 201 guitar amp set up the same way on a larger Temple audio pedal board.
Just pulled the plug and bought a BB800 through Zzounds. I have a bunch of gigs lined up over the next few weeks and I want to run this thing through the paces! Wish me luck!
Yes, I got my metaphors mixed. Yes pulled the trigger, or in my case took the "plunge" hence the plug.it's "pulled the trigger"
you pull the plug when you're letting something die or end.
It's quite alright, it's not like what we do here on TalkBass is rocket surgery.
but if you took the plunge and pulled the plug that would make for a hard landing.....lol

Oops derail.........
Ok...my buddy who owns a Q amp came in last Sunday and played my MM1000. He said he'd bring in his Quilter to A/B with the Peavey. Hopefully next Sun.

OK, one set in the books and the combo of my new BB800 and two Barefaced One10's and it's nothing short of amazing! My bass has never sat in a non-FOH mix like it is tonight! Very please, second set comin' up!
All I can say about the combo of the BB800 and the Barefaced One10's is that in 40 years of playing semi professionally for paying customers from ten to thousands, I have never had the quality of sound I had Friday night. I am so happy with this little monster Pat Quilter has created that now my amp gas is gone and I can finally focus on more bass guitars ...But that's for another thread! LOL!
I find that I have to be careful with the gain setting on the BB800 when using my One10's. I'm not sure if it's the limiters kicking in but the cabs seem to run out of steam even at low-ish main volume settings. This never happens with my TKS cabs so I know it's not the amp. I need to experiment more with settings but I suspect the higher gain levels.
Great setup. I have the empress compressor and use a darkglass for my preamp but my rig is similar. My Pbass sounds particularly excellent with the quilter.
One idiosyncracy with this combination is if I plug both of the One10's into both of the 1/4" outs the sounds is very thin and not pleasing at all. But daiseychaining them makes them deep a just wonderful. I thought Tha was a little odd, but I'm not overly familiar with the output wiring.
I wager the cause of your issue as described is either the result of an out-of-phase condition or bad contact (likely in the combo Speakon jacks of the One10s when employed for 1/4" duty.)
I highly-recommend use of Speakon cables over the 1/4" options on both the BB800 and your two One10s, despite the existence of this option on the equipment. As the BB800 only has one Speakon out, you then would have no choice but to daisy chain, but this would no doubt be the better connector choice.
Also in the name of safety and best practice, I suggest relocation of your Pedaltrain board to the floor
Cheers!
