Members Drumah Posted September 9, 2008 Members Share Posted September 9, 2008 I'm using a guitar amp and bass amp for my rig. I have an Orange Tiny Terror for the guitar amp. I just picked up a Peavey Probass 1000 to use as a crossover so I don't damage the guitar speakers. I have the guitar cab running from 300 hz and up. The problem is, when I connect the Peavey to the Orange, I am getting A LOT of hiss through the Orange. Especially when I turn up the gain, which is the reason I got the Orange in the first place, to get distortion! Do you think this will happen with all preamps or should I sell the Probass and try something else? All I really want to do is block everything from about 200-300hz and down from getting to the guitar cab. Any help would be much appreciated.

Members Drumah Posted September 9, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 9, 2008 are both amps plugged in with a common ground reference? it sounds to me like you may have a ground loop going . Hmm, it is possible. Do you mean if they are both plugged into the same outlet? Yes they are. The thing is the bass amp doesn't produce nearly as much hiss as the guitar amp and when I turn the gain up on the guitar amp it is almost unbearable. Hard to even talk over. Do you think it has something to do with the fact that the Tiny Terror is a tube amp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
