Members Spar Posted July 16, 2004 Members Share Posted July 16, 2004 Originally posted by SteveLINY Do you possibly have enough EQ's????? LOL. I do have a lot of EQ's, 5 to be exact. The reason I have 4 Rockman EQ's is because 1 EQ is in the Loop of the second Rockman Sustainor, 1 is after the second Sustainor before the Rockman Chorus, 1 is after the left output of the Rockman Echo before the BBE Maximizer and 1 is after the right output of the Rockman Echo before the BBE Maximizer. The Furman EQ is after the V Amp Pro before the BBE. All the Rockman EQ's are necessary to shape the get the best sound out of the Sustainor. The First Sustainor is set on the clean channels and the Second Sustainor is set on Edge. When I use the Rockman setup, I disconnect the V Amp setup, vise versa.

The compressor built into the Sustainors are efficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Spar Posted July 19, 2004 Members Share Posted July 19, 2004 Originally posted by ibanez7addict may be you would'nt need all these eq's if you had a real good preamp ....don't you think A preamp has nothing to do with having all the EQ's. The Rockman Eq's are very necessary to sculped the sound you want. The Rockman EQ in the effects loop of the Sustainor is used to cut the highs/mids, add warmth, and boost the lows. The second EQ after the Sustainor is used to boost the lows, severely cut the lower mids, and tailor the high mids for presence. The last two EQ's are used as a final sculpting of the sound before going into the BBE and power amp. There are 2 Eq's, one for the left and right coming out of the Stereo Echo.

And how are you running it (the rack) with the two heads and the single 4-12? Thanks. The rack is essentially: korg tuner dunlop rack wah axess rx1 utility shelf pedal shelf 1 pedal shelf 2 furman power 2-space drawer the utility shelf will have things like: a midi splitter: from the rx1 midi-thru to the amps, other midi pedals and units a midi-cv converter: for controlling the rack wah remotely so i eliminate the extra cable draw (will use an expression pedal into a midi controller to make this happen) other future junk: piezo preamp? and the pedal shelves will seat all the pedals and pedal power units needed to run the show (which i only have one of): chorus / phaser / tremolo / whammy / octave-fuzz / delay / rotary-leslie / vibe / other... so all the pedals will be patched into the rx1, independent of one another, some dedicated to one amp, some dedicated to both. i have run both heads into the same cab and it's ok, but i use only one at a time really. i will get a second cab down the road. the rx1 splits the signal in two so i will a/b/both with the new controller (new = axess fx1, when it comes out). I had a g-force before and wasn't a fan of the programming methods required to go with a rack processor. while it was nice to have more realtime control of parameters, i'm pretty straight shot with my effects and would rather blend with my hands and feet than program it over and over. even if i took the cost of all the pedals and bought an eventide, sure it would be nice, but this is where i've landed for now. nothing fancy going on really. it already feels overboard and i now anticipate the day where i strip it all down to a 6-space deal with an eventide. maybe i should start doing that now?

Hey 10 How are you liking the herbert?? ... does it combine well with the vh4? and what about the diesel cab is it a standard or extra tight?

I almost always had the vh-4 on, but i would a/b the hot cat and herbert, trying to copy tones, and i got the herbert to sound 95% like the hot cat (not as dry or "classic" as the bad cat tone), it was enough to convince me it was a great doubling or solo amp. enough jabber, it's a great amp, it's better discussed on the phone than written endlessly, PM or e-mail if you wish. EDIT: Also, the cab is the standard rear-loaded with v30 and g12h30 speakers in a "X" pattern, love it, will probably never do all v30s again.

Members Zeromus-X Posted August 7, 2004 Members Share Posted August 7, 2004 Originally posted by hyperboogie Your neighbors must realy "love" you That rig is my stereo when it's at the house. You'll see the computer sitting next to it. Amazingly the magnets haven't completely destroyed everything within a ten-foot radius. My neighbors are about twenty feet away, on either side. They hear it. I've had the cops called on me from over 3/4 mile away when we're at practice, as well, because of "the bass". Gotta love it.
