Has anyone tried running the FBM-1 through PA using the pedal's clean settings? I'm planning on going Direct to PA with my pedals but i don't know if it's better to run my pedals using the FBM-1 as an equaliser/amp modeler or if i should just run the pedals through and remove the FBM-1 from the chain. I will not use the FBM-1 as an OD/Dist effect so please take that factor into consideration. Can anyone help with any advice? your feedback would be greatly appreaciated  |

The pedal is not a DI pedal.
If you want to go ampless and use a DI pedal / amp-modeller have a look at the rather good Tech21 SansAmp stuff.
And they're analog too if that's your thing. |

| You could also put the FBM-1 through a DI box. |

Could you run the pedals into a clean amp simulation on something like a PocketPOD, and then take the line out from there? I have no need, but always interested in learning something new...

Yes.
With any amp simulator that has some form of direct output, you can put whatever pedals you like in front of it.
As most on this forum are aware, I don't use (or own any more) any actual guitar amplifiers... I have a few pedals on a pedal board (page 32 on the pedal board thread) & go direct.
I've use various Boss & Line6 stuff. My current preamp preference is Tech21's SansAmp stuff. |

All this being said... it is possible to just plug the output of the pedal into the mixing board. No harm will come to anything, and you will see immediately how it sounds. Some stuff will sond good, some will sound awful. It's the quickest (and cheapest) thing to try.

| I've had good luck recording into my computer using my Boss pedals into a Behringer GDI21 amp modeler which has not only a 1/4" output, but also an XLR that would be ideal in your situation of running into a P.A.. It's basically a copy of the SansAmp unit. Plus it has a cabinet simulator. They can be had for cheap if that is an issue. |

| But if the FBM-1 is a simulation of a 59 fender bassman amp it must also simulate the speakers as well as the 59 as far as i'm aware was a 4 x 10 combo...i think go with Lauries idea first and if you have a spare DI box try it to go XLR,i tend to like the XLR inputs over the line ones i think it improves the signal quality but this is a personal thing...Behringer also make an active DI that has a 4 x 12 cab simulation for around �40 if you decide you like it...i would run the FBM-1 last with the pedals as it is the 'amp' in your rig,this is what Line 6 recommends with it's Pod if your using some stompboxes,just put them in the input like a regular amp.... |

| thanks guys!! i think i know what i have to do. i think i will end up trying out the berhinger speaker sim DI box. i looked it up and it looks good enough. i'll try that and have the FBM-1 as the amp sim if that doesn't work i will look for a bargain pocketpod |
