r/Bassamps

Was in a semi-creative mood. Tried with just the OB1-500 heads, but I was not very happy with the results.

I am using the RPM as the dirty, the RBI as the clean channel. Each goes to a dedicated OB1-500. Both OB1-500 amps are set to "clean". The RPM and RBI receive their signals from a Palmer GA-03 Y-splitter from the pedal board.

I sidechained the clean, unaffected signals from the RBI and RPM to the DBX266XL. The RPM/RBI out signals of both go through the individual channels on the DBX. Each channel out on the DBX goes to an OB1.

I am running the compressors for each channel at 2:1...I tried it "Off" (since I already have one on my board), but it sounds better when engaged.

Clean is at the bottom of each section
Dirty is at the top of each section.

Cabs are rated each at 800 watts (AES) and 8 ohms. Each OB1-500 will deliver around 350Watt at 8 Ohms

There will still be a slight hiss at elevated volumes. But the gate takes care of this for the most part. I can live with that.

Definitely wall-shaking.

Picked up this Ashdown Studio 10 in Tweed on sale this morning.

Needed something small and light for my bad back for living room & cottage playing. I did have a Traynor YBA100 & 115 but it was just a little too bulky for my townhouse life. No intentions to gig with this little one as that what my DI pedals are covering (for now)

I was recently gifted this preamp but I am very naive when it comes to rigs. I have only ever used a small combo amp in the past. I know I will need a power supply and speaker cab. How do I know which power supply works with this preamp and what would you recommend? I have tried to do some research but i don’t know very much about rigs and it starts sounding like a foreign language the deeper I dig. Any tips or information about building a rig would be greatly appreciated!!

Think this will doom?

“Picked this Sunn Bass Cabinet up last night it's huge Cabinet is roughly 30”x30”x15” and barely fit in my Corolla 😂 Got it from a church setup. Looks old-school and HEAVY. Anyone know the exact model/year or what speakers these usually came with?” currently stuck in my car, I will look at the back of it when I get it out lol.

I got the peavey bass amp from my last post and its amazing. The Tone is SO good. Both Guitar and Bass. Especially with my distortion pedal. But what is this stuff in the back? What’s it for ? I have no idea

Amp = Steamroller 300(Watts) with 6xKT88 tubes

Cabs: HEVOS (2x10) + (2x10+T), each rated at 800 Watts - 8 Ohms

You can feel this in your guts.

I like it.

Enjoy

Found this amp on eBay for a good price. And I can’t find any reviews of it or anything. Anyone know anything? I guess it’s old and stuff but it’s probably good right?
