[QUOTE="Jeff Hague, post: 1251, member: 128"] Hey all! Does the search just suck now on the PSW forums or is it just me? I tried searching there and got about a million hits that had nothing to do with this... Anyway, havent thought about this in a long while but "back in the day" I knew guys who liked putting a mic and a di on bass guitar. What I was told though was that you needed to add a very slight delay to the di because its signal would reach the board before the mic's signal. I never really gave it much thought because Ive always been pretty happy using 1 or the other but not both. Now Im working with a band whos guitar players both use digital modelers and active wedges on stage instead of traditional amps. I have been using dis that they have built in to their pedal boards to feed the pa but the sound has been somewhat weak. I just read an article from a recent LSI about guitar micing techniques and they mention running both a di and a mic in a sort of stereo arrangement. They go on to say that some folks will add 1 or 2 ms of delay on one of the feeds to create a slight comb filtering effect on purpose. So, do you need to delay the di signal relative to the mic signal in order for the 2 to sum coherently or not? Last gig with that band I put mics on the wedges and ran the dis but not both at the same time - the mics do sound better but now Im thinking of using both. Thanks! Jeff [/QUOTE]
