Little Marcus 250 Line Out

Hi All,

I am facing a peculiar situation there the way I connect from bass to mixer is
Scenario 1 : Signal on mixer very low i.e squashed to the extreme

  1. Bass
    2.Pedal (Input 1/4 inch, output 1/4 inch)
    3.Little Marcus Preamp Head (Input 1/4 Inch,output XLR)
    4.Mixer (input XLR)

Scenario 1 : Signal on mixer normal

  1. Bass
  2. Pedal (Input 1/4 inch, output XLR)
  3. Mixer (input XLR)

Anyone have ever experienced these and can advise if it is normal that preamp head Line out produce squashed signal? if the problem is the compressor on the channels, then Scenario 2 won’t produce proper signal.

P.S.: I tried different channel, same result

Best Regards

Andre Julius

Sounds like a problem with the preamp. Does it have any options for its xlr out?

No option other than Pre EQ and Post EQ where it is producing same result

in terms of sound though on the PA Speaker, it’s loud…but somehow on multi track the signal is squashed

Weird. The PAs should be off of the mixer’s master line outs, so are you saying the master outs are fine but the internal recorder or audio interface sounds bad?

So many things that could cause issues. It might be useful to have the full list of hardware involved (what pedal, what mixer…).

Adding photos of the mixer and amp settings for scenario 1 could also be useful.

Yes…in the PA the bass is loud…but in recording the signal is weak (for bass)

Sounds like something in the recording mix but without a lot more info on the mixer and the routing I cannot say.

There it is…the other sections such as gate are empty

On the EQ, I would remove the cut at (1) and the peak at (3); it’s also rolling you off very early. I would keep it flat back until 50Hz and start the rolloff there; currently it has you losing a third of your volume below 400Hz and half of it below 100.
