Re: Simplexx 110 Build
Another pair of the same would increase sensitivity by 6dB. BP102 have poor midrange, and no highs, so IMO BGH tweeters would be a must. I'd also find a way to try what you have with a real bass amp before doing anything else. FWIW I use a Jack 12 Lite. Copy that and thank you. I am ordering the Ha...

Re: Simplexx 110 Build
Gentlemen pray suffer me yet a further round of novice questions. On the issue of boosting the signal from the Zoom B3n to the Carvin DCM 3800l power amp I am considering using this based on research and feedback from other bassists who plug their basses into this and then into a power amp: https:/...

Re: Simplexx 212 build w/ Pics
Ah ok so if i have 2 of theses 3012lf 450w i add 450+450= 900w minimum? I mean how i know how much voltage for caps i need? I will use 100v min but is it overkill to go higher than like 600v ? 900w into 4 ohms is 60 volts. he says i must use more than 112v caps because 800w amp will give 112v... 'H...

Re: Simplexx 110 Build
This just adds more complexity and a multi-channel device that will only use one channel, but it will get you to a line level output for sure. I actually use both channels on the Carvin as the B3n has a left and right output. Too bad the xlr to TRS didn't get more gain, but it's possible that the b...

Re: Simplexx 110 Build
Behringer has always been made in China. The designs are good, but the hardware tends to be cheap. Before fixing anything that may not be broken does the amp have LED indicators? Does it reach the first red LED? If so it's getting enough signal strength. Indeed the Carvin has LED indicators the bot...

Re: Simplexx 110 Build
Okay so I hooked up the TRS to EXL cable today and played. I hear no discernible volume difference between using the balanced and unbalanced cables. I will do an A/B comparison of the balanced and unbalanced cables in terms of clarity to see if there is any difference. On the previous subject of inc...

Re: Simplexx 110 Build
There are variables, but a typical bass output at instrument level is around 100 millivolts signal strength, while a power amp may require 1.2 volts for full output. The pedal would have unity gain unless the boost is turned on, which would take the level up, but I can't say by how much. Hey Bill t...

Re: Simplexx 110 Build
It's not that it's really 'boosting', it's just bringing the signal level up to where it needs to be. A standard bass amp's pre-amp has high enough gain to do that by itself. I agree and that was what I was trying to convey. The signal level from the B3n to the amp was (and may still be) too low.

Re: Simplexx 110 Build
Another update. The overall volume level seemed to be weak to me even after turning up both the individual patch volumes as well as the global volume setting on the Zoom B3n so I did a little investigating and found that that the Zoom B3n has a booster pedal effect. I added this in with the HPF and ...

Re: Simplexx 110 Build
Put the filter frequency where it works best. The earlier it is in the chain the more headroom there is in everything after it. Two questions for the three guys I have irritated the most here (Bill, Bruce, and Tom): Hey, we all here like to help. You've asked good questions and haven't argued every...

Re: Simplexx 110 Build
I am pleased to share with the gentle reader that I have managed to download the Zoom B3n updates that include a HPF and it appears to be doing the job. Now to go in and add that effect to each patch and I should be good to go. Two questions for the three guys I have irritated the most here (Bill, B...

Re: Simplexx 110 Build
Hello everyone at the high-pass filter club! :) Zoom B3n has received in the 2017 may-june update a "Low Eq" effect, which is a high pass filter. You should play with that! (Also could try the bass amp sims, if they are there. :) ) This is excellent news! I will have to get it downloaded ...
