Zoom Bass Effect

Guitar amp question?

I have a behringer ultrabass BX4500H HEad and a 2 10' speaker cab.. Would it sound better if I bought a head made more for regualr electric guitars and used the same cab?? I do not need a new head for its effects, my zoom g2 takes care of that.. I just turn off the bass effects and balance the equilizer and sounds pretty good.. I just wanted to know if it would sound better if i bought a non-bass guitar head and put it on my cab(both are 400 watts)..
if by horn you mean tweeters??? then yes it does, but i can turn it off with a flick of a switch... by the looks of the last answer i feel i should clear up that the amp (meaning both head and cab) are for a bass guitar and i am plugging in a regular 6 string electric

Since you have the Zoom I would say no, unless you are williing to pay extra for a tube amp, then there will be a difference.
I love Marshall Valvestate heads, which have a tube preamp. They are really amazing amps. Is your 2x10 a bass cabinet with a horn? If so that won't sound very good for guitar unless you disconnect the horn. Get a real guitar cabinet too while you're at it.

It includes a stripped, but extremely useful, version of the White amp from Vintage Amp Room (only Master Volume and Mic position controls). To break new musical ground, you can try inputting a synthesizer, violin, or even your mother's grand piano. Acoustic Feedback is compatible with foot controls via MIDI and is available in native VST, AU and RTAS format for both Mac and PC.Tube Delay The Tube Delay plug-in is a marriage between analog and digital, combining the warmth and natural compression from tubes with the features and versatility of a digital delay. The effect is perfect for fattening vocal tracks, adding slapback echo to drums, or getting a gritty delay for guitars. Tube Delay gives you authentic tube simulation using the same technology as Softube's Amp Room products on both the dry and wet signal. In total, you get three different tube stages—in the direct, delayed, and feedbacked signal. It also provides vintage-style passive EQ with Bass and Treble that affects both the dry and the wet signal and also boosts the distortion popular in classic American guitar amps. Get delay time from 1 ms to 1 second with a host tempo sync option that sets the delay time from 16th notes to half notes with the triplets in between.Spring Reverb The Spring Reverb plug-in is an authentic spring reverb recreation that will add vintage character and grit to any audio track. It also includes novel features such as a fully automatable Shake control that will shake the virtual strings around for those thunderous spring effects, and a Tension control that tightens or loosens the springs to cover a wide range of spring reverb sounds.Springs Control the number of springs in use. There are three sets of springs in the reverb unit and you can choose how many of the sets you would like to use. Set the control to ONE for a more pronounced springy sound and to THREE for a smoother sound.Shake So you don't have to smack your computer to get that thunderous springs-being-shaken sound, Spring Reverb features a slider that can be used to accomplish the same thing safely.Tension Tune up or down the tension of all three springs. Adjusting the Tension parameter will change the sound of the strings from slow and smooth (left) to quick and harsh (right). Together with the Springs knob, this control is an excellent tool to change the overall character of the reverb.Bass, Treble and the input stage Authentic tube sim

Fulltone TTE Delay Effect Tube Tape Echo $1090 It used to be that no delay could quite replicate the natural, warm, and shimmery tones of an old Echoplex tape echo—enter the Fulltone TubeTapeEcho, or TTE. Old tape echoes used to be noisy and unreliable, but the Fulltone TTE is dead quiet and features revamped electronics, tape transport path, and even the tape cartridge itself to near-overkill, producing less noise than most delay pedals. The TTE effect pedal can provide anywhere from a quick slapback to over 2 seconds of delay time. There is a top-panel-mounted, dual-speed toggle switch to choose between Hi-Speed and Lo-Speed operation. Hi-Speed gets you lots of Highs, less Bass, and a True Repeat without the Pitch variation of the old Echoplex. Lo-Speed is warm, with lots of Bass, less highs, and a slight "warble" that imparts a natural chorus.

Fulltone CSW Guitar Effect Clyde Std $213.15 Clyde McCoy was a big-band Trumpet Player in the '60s... not a great musician, but one famous for getting a muted wah wah sound. This led to Vox trying to approximate this muted trumpet sound in a guitarpedal... hence the Vox "Clyde McCoy" wah wah circa 1967.Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton used a Vox "Clyde McCoy" model wah wah. Photos taken during the recording of Electric Ladyland document Jimi's as being the "signature" model, featuring Clyde McCoy's name written out script style on the bottomplate. The other type of Clyde McCoy was the "picture" version, which had Clyde's photo on the bottomplate. The "signature" model, with it's great sounding "halo" inductor, is what the Fulltone Clyde standard wah effect pedal is modeled after.The Fulltone CLYDE wah pedal was born from taking the best of the best of Fulltone's vintage Vox wah collection, and analyzing every aspect... going so far as sacrificing a few of the vintage inductors to get it right.Our Inductor is a tuned core handmade unit using exactly the same type wire and inductance as the '60s-era Vox, except very consistent from one unit to the next. A tuned core inductor is much more expensive to make, but the end result is worth it. Drop this into your wah and experience the difference. The only change from the original '60s Vox design is the addition of a very usable internal Resonance Control which is a large durable trimmer, for bass and gain adjustment, which is easily adjustable by hand without tools and with room to mark your favorite settings.All 2008 Fulltone's CLYDE Standard wah pedals sport the most authentic '60s Vox-type inductor available, which happens to also be the quietest.

Primacoustic Australis Bass Traps Pair $299.99 Primacoustic Australis acoustic foam bass traps are effective at controlling low frequencies which are below the bandwidth of 3" foam.Studio acoustics is more than covering every surface with foam. Primacoustic diffusers and bass traps are based on long-standing studio acoustic principles, and engineered to integrate into any environment.The Primacoustic Australis is a high-efficiency bass trap that controls low frequency energy. Introducing Australis in a studio will result in a tighter, more controlled bass.Made entirely from a solid block of 100% high-density, open-cell acoustical polyurethane foam, the Primacoustic Australis measures 12" x 36" to provide maximum absorption in the least space. The unique wedge design allows easy placement in corners or on walls, offering tremendous flexibility to suit the most demanding architectural tastes. For even greater bass absorption, Australis can be stacked, grouped to form a wall cluster, or placed edge-to-edge at the wall and ceiling seam.Australis works by trapping the random omnidirectional bass energy that tends to cluster in corners and overwhelm the room. Quarter-wavelength calculations prove that Australis is particularly effective for rooms with 8' ceilings that require 36" of absorptive materials to control the troublesome 100Hz region. This has the positive effect of reducing smear, giving bass more definition and punch while allowing recordings to translate better to other rooms. One pair, 12' W x 36 " H x 12" D each.
