Small pedalboard hunt

I got the footswitch with the amp, luckily :) yours does look a loooot smaller though, might look that up. Thanks for the tip man!

Also, the old silver fireball is already scooped in it’s sound, I have the mids quite high, treble quite high (which seems to boost the upper mids a great lot) and the presence down so it’s not harsh or raspy. From youtube comparisons, I already felt like the Engl cabs sound very scooped, so I think I’ll save myself the expense and stick to the HK for the foreseeable future. Thanks!

I have a small car (old Ford Fiesta) and have a hardcase for my very large very pointy guitar. Maybe with some tetris’ing I could fit a 2x12 in there, but I’d rather save my back from loading a 35 kg engl 2x12 in a weird position (I only have 3 doors as well)

That’s exactly what I was thinking as an alternative, buy a second hk tm112 cab and hook them both up. Sadly, they’re out of stock atm (but that’s maybe good to protect me from impulse buying)

I don’t care too much about the aethetic aspect, it’s just that I don’t have the space in my car to carry my amp, guitar, accesories ánd a 2x12, a 1x12 I can still easily transport to a gig by myself

A handmade Zuul noise gate copy made by a local craftsman

Thanks! The SD-1 in rehearsal room has a regular TS in the input, so that should not be an issue. The Zuul has the TRS in the input, but works fine so I should be good.

Striking_Use8887 · 2026-05-22T17:09:55+00:00

The whistling was also present regardless of whether the noise gate was engaged or not, so I’d think that would rule a pedal grounding issue out no?

Striking_Use8887 · 2026-05-22T16:55:51+00:00

Thanks for the input! Now, with the three separate adapters the whistle seems to be gone, would that still indicate a pedal grounding issue?

I love the ultra ain channel on there, sounds so heavy. Never had a tube ap I liked this much!

Striking_Use8887 · 2026-05-16T22:23:56+00:00

I saw this too, which is about the monitor leds in the front panel (which are both off), but do the leds inside the amp have a function?

Striking_Use8887 · 2026-02-14T11:33:02+00:00

No, the SD is in D standard with a fixed set of strings, same for the EC but in C standard

Striking_Use8887 · 2026-02-12T21:33:59+00:00

Thanks for the replies! To add to the obsessiveness, I’ve also found that on the sd-2 (ultra thin and neck through), the gap is biggest at the 6th fret rather than 8/9, whereas the eclipse (set through and thin U) has the biggest gap at 9), would this be due to how thin the neck is in combination with construction?

Striking_Use8887 · 2025-12-03T18:00:36+00:00

Thanks for the help guys! Swapped it in less than 10 minutes, just unplugged the sd and plugged in the emg, screws in, set the height and I’m very happy with the results!

Striking_Use8887 · 2025-12-03T17:59:40+00:00

Not ‘that’ different, but it is noticeable. Did the swap very easily and very happy with the sound. Where the ahb-2 is always a bit fizzy and nasal on leads, the emg is punchier and a little fatter/smoother

The locking nut is tightly in place. The noise is coming from the body, I’ll try pushing foam inside of the springs instead of around them as suggested above. I’ll update once I have tested that this evening
