Believe me, I did consider one for quite a while. I wish the Khan had it's in's and out's set up like this. It would be more board friendly. I think if I didn't "need" a few effects and was basically bass to wireless to DI to FOH, I would have a greater chance of having a Noble.

What a beautiful board. I bet that sounds amazing!

It does indeed! With a P-bass, all settings flat into the board. With a Jazz bass, I add a touch of bass on the Noble and am good to go. I like having an uncomplicated life.

Yep. I love, love my Khan. My only complaint is the location of the audio jacks and power jack. It makes for a less-than-ideal fit on a smaller pedalboard.

Everyone really loved the sound of the Khan. Next gig I'm going to try bypassing my Stomp (unless the gain gets all screwed up) and see how it sounds just bass to Khan.
I decided I'll just leave it loose as it needs it's own power (can't use the CIOKS) and I want to keep my board small to fit under my synth between the feet of the legs or the "X" stand.

@scubaduba did you ever try this?

I thought it would deserve to be in this thread?

Yep. See the first posting in this thread for links to sound samples of that one. Biggest issue is no ground/lift. I won’t use one for that reason. Learned the hard way.

I use an IEC splitter with mine so that I can have it connected along with my power supply. Amazon sells them. Could easily use with a temple board or similar if you wanted a simple quick connect platform.

 

[scubaduba]

Yep. IEC splitter works great for that use case.

 

[SteveC]

I have seen those and had that thought. It’s still a little awkward to me with the power and XLR outs on opposite ends. It’ll be fine like this for now anyway.

Fun!

Hello,
I can get a Goliath or a Kaos for a good price, anyone who tried bot h? WIch one would give me the more "oomph" effect, a sound that would remind a clean Bassman ?

 

[scubaduba]

Yes I’ve used and own both. There are sound samples in the first post of this thread. Have a listen.

 

[Remucho]

Thank you for your answer. I listened both and I find them close. The Goliath seems to be rounder, with more bottom, but how do they feel when you're playing ?

Where's the tube?
Not talkin' fallopian.

 

[mjmeche]

Did anyone do a comparison with an Ampeg Pf50t?

 

[scuzzy]

Anyone have experience with both the Khan VTDI and the SB Venus Z? I love the description of the Venus, as GK with tube warmth sounds incredible, but I've yet to hear a negative word on the Khan, and I love the simplicity.

 

[SteveC]

I don't know about the SB Venus Z, but my sound guy and band love the sound with my Khan. I run my Stomp into it with the "Regal" preamp, some comp, and I use a couple effects. Used it for 2 gigs and a practice.
