Nashville 1000 and Tubefex

Is anyone using this combo? If so, how are you hooking up everything? Are you just using the Jeff Newman presets, or did you come up with your own?

Thanks.

I have a Tubefex I have used with a Session 400. I loaded it initially with Newman presets from a memory card. The presets in a Profex cannot be sent via midi to a Tubefex, as they are System Exclusive messages. I also have presets from the following site for steel guitar:

I have saved my settings on a Peavey Midi Streamer and to a 3.5" floppy. That way I can use which ever settings I want. There is a program (FexManager) free on that site. With a midi connector for your computer (connects to the joystick port) you can download and upload to your Tubefex. It's a great device. To me it sounds just like a Profex with the Newman settings in it, has a tuner, and has an optional tube preamp. You might check that site concerning the version 2 upgrade as well.

Randy,

I use the mentioned combo. I plug in the Power Amp In jack in the back of the amp itself bypassing the Nash Eq. This way I can run both tube and the 3band Eq with plate reverb and delay. This a short term thing as I try to build a rack set-up, but it still sounds good.

What I am hoping to do soon is to put the tubefex with a DCP 1400 with two 1501-4's in the floor.

I've been experimenting with the 5 band eq on my Tubefex.TB>5 band + whatever.I'm trying to duplicate some of my Roland GP-100 patches.The 5 band sounds good when tweaked to my rig but adds a little more noise.

If you're going to use the tubefex with the 1000, why wouldn't you just have bought a 2000 instead? Just curious. Is there an advantage to this combination?

Thanks guys for your reply. Fred, to be honest, I don't know why I didn't get the Session. I guess I didn't do my homework. At the time I got the 1000 (last year) someone had recommended the 1000 and never did mention the Session. I just got the TubeFex a couple of months ago thinking I would get that tone I was looking for. I think I pretty much have it. However, I was being curious to see if there was anyone else who had the same setup as me and how they were using it.

Fred,

I wanted the 2000 over the 1000 but could not get one at that time. Then I bought the Tubefex several months after the 1000 for the additional effects and built in tuner.

The advantage I have now is if something goes wrong with the Tubefex, I can send it back for repairs and still have something to play thru. Unlike the 2000, if it breaks down, it all goes back. Also, I don't think the 2000 has a set of tubes in it. I think its more like a transtube unit.

Finally, I have no more money in these two unit's as I would in a 2000.
