you're trying to tell me that the natural channel on 4 (max) is able to contend with a loud drummer, unmic'd - in a live gig situation?

is your drummer's kit made out of bath foam? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Ow, my mistake, it's on the dirt channel that it's loud enough. Clean channel maxed out is just loud enough for rehearsing

mine did - in fact i think the natural channel is better voiced than the dirty channel :)

shame it was not loud enough to gig or practice with unmic'd... hence it's now owned by someone else
Hi,

nothing more to say about that :!:
Mine take very well my Ballast Treble Booster (by Le Gecko Electrique, french craftman, yeahhh!!) to have a bluesy dirty sound that is impossible to achieve with the dirty, and i love my Gamin'3 Buzz Driver (hybrid between fuzz and OD, ZZ Top old albums flavoured, it's just killing) to have also an amazing bluesy sound with the Lo peak mode, and a Gibbons-ish sound between hardly pushed amp OD and light fuzz when played on Hi Peak mode. Different from the Dirty, and this magic box sounds also awesome to boost a big crunch on the Dirty (gain at 1 o'clock on the dirty).
A friend also lend me his TRex RoomMate V1, and it's what lacks to the clean channel to be just the perfection (i'll surely by the now only available V2 as soon as possible).
I love my R30H :wink:

My OX FUZZ worked very well with the Natural Channel.
The trick is to turn the fuzz up to 8-9 on the volume pot, than it meshes very well with that Channel.
Maybe the best i have found for the R30 Natural Channel :)
accept darkness.

Yep, i think it can handle my two Xotics (BBpreamp & RC Booster) very well!
In fact both channels loves those pedals bigtime. :)

Mmmm...I've never tried a RC Booster on the natural, but i imagine it can bring this little thing lacks this channel...Or better: the Gamin'3 Push-Up 8)
Or it can be useful just to have the good balance when using guitars with splitting coils (like mine, Big Apple Strat, awesome), to have the same volume with splitted coil and RC booster engaged than with HB or P90 without RC.
And you can profit from the RC's EQ or the Push'Up's Tone pot :wink: 8)
