I never liked guitar amplifiers mainly because they boost treble in the amp and cut treble in the speaker and aggressively bundle the upper mid range, usually to some victim in the public, not to the player…

after I saw Max Lässer play the Tannoy little red monitors on stage in 1984, I fell in love with them and carried them everywhere and had to replace the box because of the rain but they still sound great!
now with a tiny class D amp (no fan)

there are lighter active studio monitors nowadays
I found a great sounding pair in Rolf’s office and was amazed about the price:

this is an interesting idea
it does not work now because of the supply:
– the original DIN13-Neutrik cable you mention contains no supply wire
( http://www.matthiasgrob.org/pEE/ppSchema/PaGRcabl.htm )
– I use my Elegy with StringPort with a cable that has a diode in it to make sure that no one sends the 12V from the Polysubbass to some Roland equipment (which probably would not survive)
– it should be possible with a special split cable to feed a GR guitar from the Roland synth and connect the Polysubbass in parallel

but:
the Roland has a lower signal level than the Paradis, so the Polysubbass may cut the end of the bass note

but:
I just talked to Tom about creating a Polybass module that works with the Roland standard. its rather easy but not easy enough to modify the old ones.
