As a fan of both Sushi Box and Mike Watt, this looks awesome!

My band released a single and video last week from an album that's been in the works for a long time and will finally see the light of day in September. Streaming etc: https://linktr.ee/irk

Resurrecting this chat as I recall finding it helpful earlier in the year, and I now need to get sorted with a card payment provider for gigs. It sounds as though SumUp is a popular choice, I see some mentions of Zettle too. Are people generally using dedicated card readers, or are the 'tap to pay' on a phone options just as good? Are there any other providers worth considering?

For the lucky ones that nabbed this pedal early, can you comment on the tracking outside of standard tuning? What's the 5 string mode like compared to the 'normal' mode?

I didn't realise I wanted a synth pedal on my board until seeing the demos for this. Well played MXR.

Although not a budget option, the Source Audio Nemesis is a great pedal for strange sounds, including reverse delay.

I don’t think you’re alone with this, I can barely choose a can of beans in the supermarket if there’s more than one option. 6 mic options, 6 placement options and 20+ cabs… I’d be there all day!

I've just got back into using mine again, it's an excellent little gadget for practice sessions. I was underwhelmed with the bass presets out of the box, but with some tweaking it's capable of some decent sounds. I've just dialled in a Jamerson-ish tone for my P bass with flats which has kept me entertained for a good chunk of today. How are folks using it for practice? I find the bluetooth connectivity great for playing along to tracks off my phone or laptop.

I just ordered some new ones from ACS a few days ago. The Basschat discount code BASS15 gives 15% off on the ACS website. I’ve used the Pro17 customs for a few years now, which give a pretty flat 17db cut. These are a great all rounders. I’ve also used the 26db filters which are good if things are crazy loud.

Thanks for this! I'm glad I had a quick check on here before ordering a new pair. Mine aren't fitting as well as they used to, time for some freshies!

Thanks so much! You’re My Germ was a fun one to record with the sax parts.

Interesting! I've been using a Rusty Box for close to 15 years now and didn't realise there were alternatives til seeing these discussed here. But yeah, the boost is unusable, I've never touched it!

How do you find the Cosmic Trigger and TS 100 compare?

My band is a noisy bass/drums/vox 3-piece. We released a new song last week, more coming in the new year... https://irkband.bandcamp.com/album/toothache-in-prison https://www.instagram.com/irk_noise

Thanks for the link, I’ve not seen those before!
