EagleMoon Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 There was a thread about this a while back. Seems like a cash grab to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edhunter Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 It's not necessarily a cash grab, but unless you're in a Rush tribute band,or an all originals band where you want to have his sound, is it really something you need? I have a Geddy Jazz, but I don't play with his sound at all. This is good if you're going without an onstage amp and have a good in-ear system. My band's in-ear system doesn't allow for individual mixes, so for me this wouldn't work. And to use it in conjunction with my GK head relegates the head to just a power amp. And the general public will never comment unless you're in a Rush cover band. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stugotz Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Its something he never used.......ever, so. It also requires two power amps to be used, unless you are just going direct to the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use my Sansamp RBI through the front of my GK MB800 Fusion, the GK pre adds a bit of familiar growl that a power amp just doesn't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stugotz Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Its something he never used.......ever, so. It also requires two power amps to be used, unless you are just going direct to the board. would you please elaborate on that ? why would it needs two power amps ? According to what I have seen it has two discreet outputs. One is full frequency (basically an RPM) and the other is a low frequency output. So essentially its two preamps in one, each with its own discreet output. In order to obtain the desired effect you will need two power amps or go direct into the pa. Probably be killer in the studio. Edited January 21, 2017 by Stugotz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(just like a basic preamp) ? since you seems to know your thing, would you please have a look to the new topic i have just created (help a computer illiterate) ? thank you. mB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edhunter Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 There was a guy on CP that was a total Geddy clone. He even had a Ricky Bass/12-string double neck. He wired his Jazz basses in stereo and ran each of the outputs through separate heads and twin-15 cabs. It'd be interesting to see this through that system. Way too busy for me these days. If we ever get in-ears with individual mixes, I'll switch to my SansAmp Bass Driver direct box and stop using an onstage amp altogether. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stugotz Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I ran stereo on my Ric and biamp with my jazz, alot of work for little gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graptemys Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 OK, so this thing has two independent pre-amps. One is basically his Tech 21 RPM and the other is what? Is the other pre-amp trying to mimic the sound of the Avalon U5 or the Palmer PDI-03? Those of us trying to replicate his sound can easily get their hands on the Avalon U5 and RPM, but the Palmer is very hard to get (an original, not the remake) and damn expensive. What do you think?
