Hey Fellas,
Rig is an Ampeg PF800 into two, PF115he cabs. Sometimes substitute an Aguilar TH500 for the amp.
Running 4- and 5-string primarily active basses. I use an Aguilar TLC or Diamond BCP-1 into a Boss LS-1, then split A/B into either A:> GR1 Groove Regulator > Aguilar Octamizer > SABDI for OD; or B:> Zoom MS-60B > GR1 Groove Regulator > Aguilar Octamizer > SABDI for OD. Sometimes put a Tech21 Boost Chorus at the end, and I occasionally put a Fulltone FB-3 at the end to put the signal back up to par, usually on my passive PJ.
The assistance I need is related to the amps/cabs with the effects. I have found that these effects with the aforementioned rig don't 'cut through'. I just can't hear them prominently in the mix, such that I end up not using them as a result. It may be an EQ issue, but is this due to the 15" speakers verses say a more 'transient' 12" or 10" speaker?
I love the tone of the two 115he, but am considering getting a PF 210he to see if the upper mids from that cab will complement the 115he and bring the effects 'back into the mix'. I have 112 and 210 stacks to use, but I really like the Ampeg PF cabinets tone and style factor.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks.
