I may have just become an F-2B snob!

Jazzy, I remember when you were experimenting with hook ups for the F-2B and SF-2.   Did you wind up placing the SF-2 in front of the F-2B or between the F-2B and the power amp?

Bill, tgo

Hi Bill, I ended up putting the SF-2 in front of the  f-2B and from last night's gig that seemed fine.

That's a nice bass rig, Jazzy. Alembic, front-to-back, left-to-right. If I remember correctly, an F-2B doesn't have an effects loop?

I had to think about it a minute, because it's been a while since I did. My SF-2 is connected to the effects loop of the F-1X in my home rig, and then the low and high frequencies assigned to poweramp Channels 1 and 2 respectively. I don't use a Superfilter for live gigs, just an older model F-1X and poweramp, with the F-1X full-range out to Channel 1, and just bridge the amp.

At some point, I'd like to have a second F-1X for the house. It's already overkill though.

I mainly use/add the Sf-2 just on reggae gigs to emphasise the frequencies below the 'on bass' filters which is usually around 80 to 110 depending on the room sound and if i am using my own cabs.
