GED 2112 recommendation

[Fletz]

I just got a Ged 2112 from the best seller I've ever dealt with here on Talkbass (and that's saying alot as 99% are stellar). I was playing an RBI into a bridged Crown power amp then out to two Hartke 210 Hydrives. With the Ged 2112 there is a deep and an (essentially) RPM that have their own outs and their own channels. As a Hartke guy, I am keeping my Hartke cabs, but am considering replacing the 210 for the deep channel with either a hydrive 410 or 115. Which way would you go?

Which frequencies does the deep channel enhance?

The cab you add should cover those frequencies well regardless of speaker size.

I would consider adding an HPF to make sure your not adding mud FOH.

Sorry - ignorant question here: HPF?

HPF = high pass filter

Also known as a rumble filter or sub-sonic filter.

HPFs cut frequencies below a specific threshold letting the higher frequencies pass through.

Sometimes combined with a low pass filter (LPF) that cuts off highs above a specific threshold letting lower frequencies pass through.

For bassists, it cleans up the low end of noise below, e.g., 30hz., and protects speakers to a point.

It also allows the user to compensate for poor venue acoustics where specific frequencies are over emphasized.

Some filters are built to be adjustable.

TBrs @fdeck and @Azure Skies build pedals, as does sfx. Some amps come with them built in.
