For what it's worth, I just got a LR Baggs Vemue DI and switched out my K & K Pure pre amp with great results. I have min-westerns installed in my D-18GE, I am using the utility patch 80hz highpass..

OK - first review. Two shows down with the new T1. I did not have time to do much experimenting at either show.

Both shows were at restaurants. One is very quiet, the other with a bar in the room and a bit more noise.

• The T1 works extremely well as a mixer.
  
• I prefer my Boss Tu-2 floor tuner. It's just simpler to click a foot switch than it is to reach forward, turn the selector and press Mute.
  
• I can't say my sound was better than wihtout the T1 (using the R1 and ch1 & ch2 on M1), but I can say it wasn't any worse either.
  
• I wish you could combine presets! I need the 80hz bypass, but the guitars sounded really good with the large condensor preset. So no 80hz bypass. I tried to compensate with Para EQ with fair success using -10db at 75hz with 1 oct width.
  
• Love the conveience of plugging my mp3 player in to channel 3.
  

I don't regret the purchase. I'm sure I'll like the T1 even more the first time I have my duo partner with me.

That's all for now - more later.

Hi David,

to get closer to the 80 Hz highpass filter try
Level: -15 dB
Frequency: 50 Hz
Width: 0.80 Octave

Not trying to be TOO analytical here but with your setting at 75 Hz and 1 octave width you are cutting some of the range from 75 - 110 Hz.

I'm just suggesting that you move the frequency down as low as you can, set the level as low as you can (maximum cut to emulate a highpass filter) and experiment with the Width to find the cut frequency that works for you.

You can combine Presets and effects chains depending on what they are, but it means hardwiring the output of one T1® Channel to the Aux output and running that into a second T1® Channel. I probably wouldn't bother doing that in this case because should be able to get very close to what you want with the ParaEQ.

Also - I don't KNOW this for sure, but I think I hear some low frequency cut in this Preset

Preset: Steel string w/cond


is this the one you are using?

Thanks for the suggestion, ST! I will try that as soon as I can.

Question: How many hz in one octave?

Hi David,

Please let me know how that works for you.

In the meantime "How many Hz in one octave?"

It depends on the note. For any given note, it has a frequency in Hz. The note on octave below that note has a frequency that is one half of the original.

For example: (all frequencies approximate)
The low E on your guitar is about 80 Hz.
The low E on a bass guitar (an octave below) is 40 Hz
The E on your guitar that is an octave above is 160 Hz and the E above that is 320 Hz. ** Actually it is 329.6 Hz but it was close enough for this discussion.

So there is no set Hz in an octave. It's all relative.

David,

There's a relative frequency chart I use here:

Tonehead,

We have a new discussion for your question.

Thank you.

hey David,

Any updates?

Hi Mike. Love the T1!

Here's a link to some comment I made in another post:

Hope that work,

Another update.

Did an all-instrumental show last night for the 15th Annual Easter Seals Grape Soiree fundraiser. This is my 6th year performing for this event.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...ture=player_embedded

This year I played for the Connoisseur Wine tasting before the art auction. I'm guessing a 50 x 150 foot room with silent auction tables in the middle and wine vendors set up around the perimeter. Probably up to 250 folks milling around and talking.

Had many comments that the music was crystal clear and beautiful, thanks in part to my L1/M1/(1)B1.

I tried the most basic set up for this show. Guitar straight in to T1. No tuner, and no K&K Pure XLR preamp. The sound was great, but I thought I could tell a tiny bit of harshness that isn't there when I use the Pure XLR. Especially with my Larrivee L-05. Just did not sound as woody as I'm used to hearing with the Pure XLR.

I'm guessing most folks would not even notice the difference, and I did not take time to insert the preamp for a comparison.

The only reason I'm posting this now is this: There seems to be a consensus among the Bose folk here that since the T1 has a 1 meg ohm input impedance, which is the same as the PUre XLR preamp, that the guitar should sound every bit as good without the preamp. Or that I should be able to find a combination of Tonematch/EQ/ParaEQ that would sound just as good.

My experience has been that my guitars sound better with the Pure XLR preamp. The difference is subtle, but there.

I think I'll start another thread to explore this more. It would be interesting to hear from other folks using the K&K Preamps what their thoughts are on this.
