Let me/us know what you think.

Putting the Khan + WJBP through its paces this morning. With the Khan in the effects loop I can dial in/out as much tube warmth I want without losing the clarity and punch of the WJBP.

Sounds very good. I'm using nothing but the REDDI and my Sadowsky Jazz. Still very full and punchy. Round and full up and down the fingerboard.

Followed up with one of the sound engineers and he was complimentary of it. Said the mids in particular sat well and mids are a challenge in this venue. Other words he used were:
-easy to EQ
-clean yet pleasant and not sterile
-full and punchy

 

[Slaymus]

You are talking about the RDDI or the Sadowsky? Seriously, thanks for the feedback!

Yet another way to use the Khan, with the 1/4" out being tube-effected... WJBP has a lot of cool features, too!

But . . . but . . . where are all the pedals? Are they hiding behind the P15?

Tuner/OC-2/Cali 76/L+HPF front of stage.
Mainly because I want the tuner to mute my signal to FOH, because you can't always trust A1 to do it right.

I have an Atomic Amps Bass Box on the way. Excited to give this one a run. Definitely a unique feature set.

I've been on the waitlist for about a month so far. Looks like a great preamp with a bonus of being a silent practice tool. I decided to order a bassbox after being on the waitlist for a Fractal Audio FMS for around 4 months so far. I guess at this point I should just keep my money.

Very interested in how this sounds as I also have a WJ pre.

Thanks

I see that you have a PDR and an
LA-1A, would you mind giving a quick compare/contrast of the two? Had the LA-1A, felt guilty and sold it and have a PDR on the way.

That's three very good boards there. How the heck do you choose which one before walking out the door?

Guilty? For what?
That's not something that I consider when dealing with this kind of quality gear.
