Trinity Trip Top Review (B15 Content)

[txhawaii]

Here is the 1st of 2 demos...
Signal Chain - Aeros Looper - Trinity Triptop - AKG D112 - RCF M20X - OBS Mic 1" at center of speaker Fixed Bias demo. I will do the Cascade Bias demo soon

I'm assuming that low end distortion heard while you're sweeping through the bass is due to the mic and not the cab or driver?

There are a few things that are actually caused due me not gain staging things correctly:

1. In one of the videos (I think it's the first one) there is some hiss when I boost the highs This is because I didn't gain stage correctly into my looper and it basically amplified noise.
2. The second was cause to not gain staging correctly at my interface. I went into iMovie and clicked normalized which caused a lot of clipping. I pulled down the volume to reduce the clipping, but didn't do that everywhere.

I basically had a free hour to do this, so between setting things up, the rudimentary video editing (adding the labels in the first video) etc. Sometimes you get what you get. lol

BTW, I think there was more low end in the 2nd video than the first...

It also may depend on what you're listening through. When on my laptop, I get some distortion, but it's less noticeable when I listen through my studio monitors which replicates down to 20Hz with little harmonic distortion.

I should probably add that disclaimer to the video.

I have a Bose wave radio hooked up to my computer so the sound isn't like studio monitors but it's not bad. I don't mind the bass distortion. It adds character. Its in the first video around the 2 min mark when you're sweeping through the bass tones.

I heard a little distortion when the amp was set at maximum bass. I think that clipping was due to trying to normalize the recording in iMovie and not from the amp or the cabinet itself.

On a side note, the builder not only swapped out the guitar speaker for a bass speaker, but he swapped out the 6L6 tubes with KT88s!
