Gallien kruger backline 6001/10/2023 ![]() It's not my amp, it's the bassist's, so I rarely see the thing and haven't ever really known much about active/passive basses until somewhat recently. Mo, no I did not know that (use the pad with active bass in the GK). I just always like to run a DI just in case, or to blend. I know in recording there is no RIGHT way, but when it comes to things like this that involve ohms and voltage, I tend to believe there only ONE way of doing it.ĮDIT: Ps, I do plan on mic'ing the cab as well. I'll try and see how it works, but I just want to do these things the right way. So I guess now I'm wondering, if I DO use the EQ ON mode on the GK 600 (there is no direct out level), do I send the signal into an input with a pre-amp, or an input that bypasses the pre-amp? I'm assuming the latter. I ve tried it and this is very true in my case. Therefore it will boost the signal of the basstoo much, cutting off important high freq information and adding a clicky/poppy sound the signal. But active pickups are not the same impedance as passive ones, they are line level. As far as I'm aware, Hi Z is for something passive with very low impedance. One thing I disagree with is "a Hi-z input should take active pickups fine, if you were to go direct from the bass". Please let me know if you can answer those questions and if during any of the above scenarios, if I would ever need to go from the GK into the Hi Z input on my interface (or if that's not an option since it's an active bass and it would mess with the signal). I'm just scared I might blow something in my interface or monitors, etc. Am I correct? For the record, GK says with EQ ON mode, it will give you that GK sound AND it's pre-amp volume. ![]() I’d assume the MASTER control on the GK would as as the pre-amp volume. I would go into the GK, out of the direct out (in EQ ‘ON’ mode), then into the TRS passive input on my interface, bypassing the interface’s preamps. Alternatively, could I go from the XLR out into a 1/4" Hi Z jack on either the interface or outboard pre? Or would that still be bad since the bass is active in which case i'd stick to the original thought of going into theXLR balanced jack?Ģ) Let’s say I want to use the GK 600 as a DI AND have the flavor and sound of the GK. I would go into the GK head, out of the Direct out (in EQ BYPASS mode), then into the pre amp on my interface (or outboard pre) to adjust recording level. My questions are for 2 different scenarios:ġ) Let’s say I want to use the GK 600 simply as a DI box rather than my low quality passive Yorkville DI. Alternatively, I'll go into the outboard pre-amp's XLR IN jack, then from there into the passive input on my interface. And I use the pre amp on the interface to adjust the recording level. So to DI the bass, I usually go into a passive DI and out of the XLR out, into the XLR in on my interface. My blunders, my bass player has a bass guitar with ACTIVE pickups, meaning going direct into a Hi-Z jack is bad because it is meant for passive pickups. Bass amp head in question is a Galien-Krueger Backline 600 with a "Direct Out" XLR jack on the front panel The above goes into my iMac OSX via USB 2.0 It has High Z guitar inputs or balanced xlr inputs. I do have an external pre amp as well for a different flavor, called the ART MPA Pro II. The ones without preamps are intended for connecting an external preamp. TASCAM US-1800 audio interface: it has inputs with and without preamps. Here's the basic setup for this application:
