Members vladius13 Posted April 10, 2013 Members Share Posted April 10, 2013 I play in a shock rock band where I want to use lots of crazy tones for effects right now I do a dual setup where I run my bass into an a/b/y/ box and one out to a swr 750 head with 2 swr 410 cabs running the built in overdrive for a mild distortion effect, and the other through a hartke 1000 with a hartke 810 that runs a straight bass tone. I want to try something new to be able to get some crazier sound options, im looking at either a line 6 x3 pro or hd pro and use that as my effect. those have a dual output so i can run one output with a wet signal and output two with a dry signal. essentially i think eliminate one of the heads or both if i use a power amp instead of bass head. i was thinking about maybe going from the line 6 effects into a straight power amp then into the bass cabs, and if i can't use the bass cabs, i have plenty of pa speakers. i want to be able to run one side with different effects for different songs, but have the other side run a straight bass tone for a fuller effect. So question 1, is there anything wrong with setting up this way that im missing. Two if i can do this, what power amp would you use i have own these already and would like an opinion on what would be the best to use peavey cs-800peavey m-2600alesis ra-100crown xls402crown com tech 210behringer ep2500behringer ep4000 (3 of these)qsc rmx 1450a/b power international 9620. speakers i ownbass cabs2- swr goliath 410hartke 1000w 810peavey 210peavey 15 pa speakersb52 lx 15jbl tr225 thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frunobulax Posted April 10, 2013 Members Share Posted April 10, 2013 hmmm...is the Line 6 going to cut it as stand-alone pre-amp into a straight power amp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lz4005 Posted April 10, 2013 Members Share Posted April 10, 2013 It all depends on whether the Line6 has the correct output level to plug straight into a power amp. A lot of effects processors and preamps don't, even if the product description claims they do.Keeping a dry signal is pretty much key to maintaining your low end when you start using heavy effects, though, so good going there.I do not envy your load in/out. But then again, I'm old and lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vladius13 Posted April 11, 2013 Author Members Share Posted April 11, 2013 If i used the power amp method, then yes the line 6 would be the pre straight ito the power amp. Line 6 says this unit is designed to do that with no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
