Tsunami supposed to hit here a bit before 1am. Seattle earlier than that.

Take care all

The what? Hmmm. I will be diving in the morning. This could be interesting.

Bring a surf board. Something about a massive earthquake off the Kamchatka peninsula.

Perhaps not.

No Tsunami Threat For West Coast Following Magnitude 7.4 Russian Quake

The quake comes less than two months after an even larger quake struck in the same region, triggering a tsunami that reached California.

Am I seeing (2) more EQ sliders on the 300?

Yes Sir. Sliders 1 and 6 are additions.

EQUALISATION
Shape (Push Flat) +8dB @ 50Hz & 4kHz, -8dB @ 400Hz, filter slope - 6dB/octave

Bass +/-15dB @ 45Hz

Slider1 +/-15dB @ 100Hz
Slider 2 +/-15dB @ 180Hz
Slider 3 +/-15dB @ 340Hz

Middle +/-15dB @ 660Hz

Slider 4 +/-15dB @ 1.3kHz
Slider 5 +/-15dB @ 2.6kHz
Slider 6 +/-15dB @ 5kHz

Treble +/-15dB @ 7kHz shelving

would really like to yank the TS PG offthis but the finish is too far gone...... at least the TS is not the yucky one...

I prefer Js without them as well. How about a parchment or aged white?

That's why the bigger case.

Black is good too.
But I’m that guy that likes tort.

 

[TBird1958]

I kind of like the look of overkill.

Interesting that the new ABM's case is a little more deep.

With your Input Gain up that high how are you not constantly pegging the VU?
With my Lull I can get it to about 9:30 before I'm pegging the meter.

With some minor adjustments - I'm about here.

One of those applications where LED banks plain don't cut it.....

With the 300 having more signal going to the tube, I actually backed it off a good bit and still get some breakup. I also play pretty lightly. When playing I'm likely hardly hitting the red any. But that will depend on the bass. In fact, I thought my old 500 might not be working because when I get a chance to look at the meter it doesn't do much. But I intentionally began to look while during a song and it was moving more than I thought. But with the 300 IV like your's, there will be no need to go that high on the gain/input since the new design is already dong that. At least on the tube side, and that is always on even if not breaking up I like what it adds.

Thanks for posting your EQ. I want to try what you and Chuck are doing using the shape. Is that what you use live and not at home or rehearsal?

Interestingly on the RM 300, there is a green light that flashes in the meter when you have a strong signal. I think it flashes orange if hitting too much into the red. Kind of a cool feature. Not likely something a pro would want.

I keep the Shape button in the "Out" position at all times, I'm working with my '64 II now because it's going to our next show, the pickup is bassy so I'm tweaking the eq a little....

I’m finding on my ABM HOD this is definitely what works for me. I like the depth it adds and I dial in any mid I need with on-board eq and, if necessary, an eq on my pedalboard.

It was actually fine. There was little current. Good timing. That dive site is usually a tidal racetrack.

Salami on a bass? No thanks.

No jumping needles…….

I’ll play till i’m deaf or my arthritis gets me.
Or whatever.

I'm going to have to experiment. Sounds so counter intuitive to boost the bass and treble and suck the mids out with the shape, then add them back in. But I'm game. Sometimes counter intuitive works. When I used my old Peavey Mk III I blended the channels and the Para channel looked like a blind person just turned knobs. No one ever mentioned it, but any bass players likely thought I wasn't using that channel or was an idiot. I can confirm it that it was likely the latter--but it sounded fantastic.

I’m with you. Tort works for me.
