The Bassist's Effects Line Up

[shinobi]

The Groove Regulator is awesome and way cheaper than the Grinder. Grinder is full featured though if that's what you want.

by splash the cash i meant it in a way such as, if you don't know what to do with the money you got and you have space for a huge ass but supposedly high quality pedal.

so you want A+blend / B+blend / C+blend ?

maybe still can, all you need is a 3 loop looper, followed by a dry blend pedal. so the looper goes into for example loop A of the LS-2, loop B of the LS-2 is empty. then you can have dry blend with either A/B/C, depending on which is switched by the looper.

too much of the word 'loop' makes it sound confusing. but you get the idea lah

 

[shinobi]

if you want to blend A, B, C and DRY at the same time, you could use a pair of rolls' to give you 4 parallel channels in your chain; one to split the input signal into 4 and another to mix them back together. i've seen it being done on TB forums. maybe you can simulate complicated multiple-amp rigs of one of those bassists with too much endorsement, such as dirk lance. but this way it might not be switchable, unless you add a few gadgets here and there in the chain. complicated but it would be cheaper than a one-stop solution and it will make your chain look damn pro

the splliting and blending of signal need active buffer circuit to maintain the signal strength always at 1.

With those passive 1 in 4 out mixer thingy, what i have encountered was hiss/noise issue and some obvious degradation of the highs.

To split signal evenly without the degradation, each parallel path needs its own buffer circuit.

yeah i guess a 3 looper pedal + ls-2 seems to be a good idea!! but i wanted to downsize my board not upsize ;p

but i do got a setting that needs A+B+dry blend. so that might be quite a juggle.

 

[jbarks]

This might sound a little dumb, but is there anywhere in the east that I can try an MXR octave dlx? Am curious about it vs the Octabass which I have at the moment

 

[b33r]

has the mxr even come to singapore yet?

i'd like to try one too to compare it with my OC-2.

 

[dewy]

I've got one coming in two weeks

 

[drumandbass]

just bought mine from davis on saturday.

I would say its pretty awesome. That MID+ switch really gives it some extra growl. Really love it!

cool! how much did you get it for?

 

[drumandbass]

Got it for $199

 

[lordie]

whats a nice and small cheap ;p blender that i could use together with a looper? any recomendations?

 

[5stringwonder]

Thought I'd bump this thread. Anyone got any updates to their board?

 

[b33r]

i'll start.

Barber Tone Press > Electronix Submarine > Catalinbread SFT > Korg Pitch Black.:mrgreen:

 

[alanchia]

oh? the pitch black is not the first in the signal chain?

 

[dudelove]

Tuner can be placed anywhere in a pedal chain!

 

[shinobi]

i would put it last. that way it can act as a killswitch. the real 'effects' can get crazy sometimes.

unfortunately no updates from me. downsizing indefinitely.

 

[shinobi]

if i had the money i would trade my chorus for a POG and a delay. or maybe just the POG. if i really had the money i would keep the chorus.

but i think it's about time i spent some money on the bass rather than the board/rig

 

[rottenramone]

i just got the philosophers tone and an adrenalinn. will update u guys on it.

 

[davin]

Hey guys,

I'm having a dillema at the moment.
Do you think a wireless system for bass is needed?
I play in gigs once/twice a month and we play posthardcore stuff ( loads of headbanging and whatnot)
Do you guys think its needed to have a wireless system?
I've been looking at the Relay G30 which is currently on sale at CM for $361.

Please help me solve this dillema
Thanks so much.

 

[rottenramone]

u wanna jump into moshpit too? yeah then wireless, but then u may lose the battery pack/antenna. that will cost more than a cable.
