I'm assuming your trying to get more high end with the mid and prescence levels you've got going there. Try a studio eq instead of the parametric. It's highest freq. is 8000k where as the parametric only goes to about 4500 I believe

Also, a screamer would help. Lose your volume pedal by holding down the enter button I believe it is and set the expression pedal to control your channel volume instead. Just set te max value to whatever you normally have your channel volume at.

Unfortunately I can't do any of that,cause HD300 is limited.It doesn't have studio EQ,nor I can use the parametric (or any) EQ and the screamer at the same time.

As far as the pedal goes,I use a stacked weeper wah at 80% per cent as an extra boost band eq.

So yeah,I'm pretty much fucked :lol: Thanks for the help anyways

The SOLO-100 Crunch is fantastic! Going to be doing some recording tonight and I think it's gonna be the amp for my tones!


Anyone futzed about with the Ampeg model much? Tried it for 2 minutes with my bass when I first updated and didn't really gel with it. Does it sound better in recorded context?

That's pretty damn limited... I'm glad I didn't cheap out lol

That being said, try swapping out your eq for a screamer then and use a higher treble/tone setting on it. Also try a different mic. The 409 always gives me plenty of highs.

I just discovered using the Ampeg with the vintage pre. Adds volume and clarity. Otherwise I'm not that impressed with it really.

The Soldano models are pretty cool, I finally tried them with the Hiwatt cab and it's really what they need. Deadnightshade, what kind of rhythm sound are you going for? I can sort of relate although I don't think it lacks highs, just overall presence and clarity. I like it for sludgy things though.

I'm really liking the Doom model at the moment. I have it dialed in for a Sleep-like tone, pretty saturated and squishy.

Has anyone experimented with the Epic model much? I've only messed with it for a few minutes and my impression was that it was a really muddy JCM sound. Anyone figure it out?

I'm gonna have to try the vintage Pre/ampeg idea when I finally do bass tracks on my songs. Sounds like an interesting idea

+1 on the Ampeg being really uninspiring. I like a really bright and proggy tone (old-people prog), and the Ampeg just won't give me a nice clear cutting tone. Not with my passive 4 string, or my active 5 string. Meanwhile, I can dial in exactly the tone I'm looking for much quicker with just a simple DI into my interface, or using the vintage pre by itself. I might not be trying hard enough, but to me the Ampeg is just a big mud-machine.

I'm going for a djenty rhythm sound.The soldano has some qualities that I enjoy,but the lack of presence bugs me out cause I can't EQ it without the attenuating parametric band that takes care of the mud.

The Doom seems promising,but I haven't fiddled with it much yet.

The Epic doesn't even make me wanna tweak it at all..

As for the bass amp,I figured a workable tone with my brother's mayones BE ,but I'm missing a freaking EQ band to add clarity to the high end.I
ll try the vintage pre today

Use a screamer if you want djent. And put your input impedance at 3.5m

Doesn't have input impedance control either :lol: And the screamer alone doesn't benefit me more than the parametric EQ the way I pick.I'm just waiting for a local sale to get rid of my HD300 and get hold of the desktop HD :lol:

Wow no impedance setting? Do you even have the setup menu options? Definitely happy in my choice to get an hd500. There was an hd400 for sale for just over $200 and I said no. Glad I did!! Lol
