Julian, if I’m thinking of running a Holy Grail + in my bass setup (eventually, along with a few other analog EH effects) would I be correct in assuming that using a power supply like the V.S. 1 Spot would be a bad idea? That being said, should I then consider the DC Brick or the Voodoo Labs?
Heat (as in the power in watts) is a function of both voltage AND current…so…if I had to guess, I’d say that a lower current is likely keeping the tubes from getting wicked hot. Besides, if I remember right, tubes are voltage driven devices, not current driven.
Hope that helps!
(Puretube or anyone who knows, please correct me if I’ve misspoken)
ZOMG! (sorry)…
Hey, has anyone here ever gotten a chance to look at the schems for the Mole/Bird? They’re remarkably similar, apart from a few caps here and there…though I somehow doubt EH plans on releasing a combo of any sort
Almost all EHX effects work well with bass already. Here are a few to be afraid of with bass though: Dr Q, Knockout, Nano Clone, Deluxe Mistress (my opinion), Holy Grails, Metal Muff…
Good to know, thanks. Actually, I am using a Nano Dr. Q in my bass setup right now…if you open the back you’ll find a small trimpot at the top of the board – this lets you adjust the overall range of the pedal. My Dr. Q now works flawlessly with my bass
Also – I was thinking of getting a Holy Grail +, should I not do so? (it’s digital, too…which means I probably can’t tweak it).
Oh, I know…but I need more *creepy, slightly unsettling smile*
Unfortunately I can’t think of anything viable other than some more filters…don’t suppose you have any thoughts?
I’d love a tour of the EHX factory…seriously, if it would be possible to get a bunch of EHX-heads in the same place for a tour, I’d sign up. In lieu of that, however, I’d accept a (reasonably) in-depth video tour.
I would wear EHX shirts with pride! Do whatever you have to, I’m fine with CafePress. I have the black Ram’s Head shirt…and it’s pretty much my favorite shirt, to be honest.
