Ric-O-Sound

Post by vulcan_creedler »

Does anybody actually use it??

2 amps on stage is twice the hassle to set up, besides - I give our sound-man enough grief, just using one amp!

I use it, I've always liked to be able to set the EQ and such for each pickup separately. And I also like the idea of bi-amping, running highs separately from lows. These days I use a couple of SansAmps so I don't have to lug around so mugh heavy equipment...

I have been using it recently during rehearsal:

Leslie 825 for the bass p/u

Fender Twin Reject '65 RI for the treble p/u

I bought a Curt Mangan stereo cord from Chris @ POTR.

I've always used it, sometimes into two amps but more so these days into one amp with two channels. Most of my basses are wired like Mr Squire's, ie pup's straight to the jack.

I need to take a new/better one, but the "Rack-O-Sound™" is getting some upgrades:
- Buffered inputs with selectable 0dB/20dB gain
- Switching/combining/gain selection done with small signal relays instead of power-type switches for better performance

I absolutely use it. I have an Acoustic 260 for my bridge and an Acoustic B100 for my neck 8)

Until you hear it for yourself it's hard to appreciate how good it can sound. One of those "a veil has been lifted" things. That said I don't find myself using it much live, but it's fun to record that way.
