After some helpful posts in this thread and a lot of thorough recording tests (vs going direct or my homemade ISO cab) I finally boxed up my Unicab. As usual, my splatter/spray nonsense resulted in some weird texture effects.
I stole a few additions from elsewhere, like the following:
All in all it works well and will finally convince me to get rid of the 3' DIY ISO cab I built last year (10" speaker with 2 mics surrounded by sound proofing insulation---works well enough, but is large and doesn't tame the bass enough).
I also built up the H&K Red Box Classic from the Tagboardeffects layoutto compare. It works well and has the input switching and balanced out included on the board, but didn't have the tone shaping options (the cab size toggle doesn't seem to do much for me).
I stole a few additions from elsewhere, like the following:
- Added DI circuit to give the option of balanced XLR out (there's a regular output on a switching jack that bypasses the XLR if I want to go direct to an amp or another pedal instead). I used this Tataylino simple DI circuit.
- Added a switch on the input to select between amp or line level, so I can choose the signal level it receives (as per the H&K Red Box schematic---thanks to sertanksalot)
- Added a thru jack that connects directly to the input, so I can run it between my amp and speaker without blowing the transformer.
