You can stick all your pedals in the loop. When you want mental noise, turn it on! It takes a bit of the output and feeds it into the input. If you put analogue dirt pedals in there they should oscillate, but you can get all sorts of weird effects. I have my whammy and digital delay in one set to octave up, so it keeps pitch shifting the pitch shifted notes.

I thought the OC-3 had an OC-2 mode? And you didn't like the OC-3?

I don't see why you'd have the multi in the effects loop rather than on the floor? It sounds like you have a lot of guitar pedals there. You might want to think about adding a blend pedal to mix some of your clean sound in with the effects.

That Ebay link's not working for me. I've been staring at this bass for months now. So beautiful. I've had to prioritise my cash elsewhere, but i'll still cry when it sells

just another quick question before I check my bank balance. How many instances of this can you run at once? The focusrite site's being a bit weird for me sorry.

Sorry, what was I thinking...

To be able to swap between two different basses AND use effects at the same time, you need a advanced multi effects processor. You'll need a MIDI floor board to control that as well.

You could just put your pedals in front of your amp? Sorry, I didn't realise they were in a loop. A "normal" set up would just be bass->chorus->delay->amp

when you play live, the sound man would put a DI between the delay and the amp.

When you swap basses, just turn the volume down on the P a bit.

Does this work with Cubase?

I thought they were plastic until I bought one, then I realised it was too heavy.

I think the space echo might have a reputation though. That's the one you need to research properly in casde it's worth something. I'd agree with dood on the DOD, no idea on the comp. I thought my opinions were too vague which is why I didn't post!

Post the link when you've Ebayed them

If your basses are significantly different in terms of output, then you'll need to level them some how. You could just do it with the volume pot, but for whatever reason people don't like doing that. The Boss LS-2 can have two different volumes set which you switch between. I'm sure there are other similar products.

You probably want to make sure the volume's about the same right at the start of your chain, before pedals. Then, get the engineer to take his DI after your effects. I've never heard of a sound man refusing to use someone's effects before!! I've always had them put the DI box ontop of my amp, and then ask for the cable that I normally plug into my amp (which in your case is after pedals).

For octave down, the OC-2 is about as popular as it gets. For filters, there must be 1000 different kinds and there's only one way to find out your favorite...

I like the new shape, nice!

oooo, sounds ace!

Yeh, Phil is right. My mate had a similar problem with his Zoom B2.1U recently - he set up all his patches on headphones, and then wondered why they sounded so sh*t through an amp.

So sometimes you set it up and it's fine, others it just doesn't turn on? That's a weird one. When it wont work, does the PSU get warm? I suppose it's worth trying another PSU. You might have a mate or a local shop with one, but then if it's such an intermittent fault it might work for half an hour in the shop, and then stop working at home with your new PSU.

My barge concepts blender has a switch for the blend on/off as well as loop bypass.

you could get some sort of expression controller built into the bass. Like the zvex proximity plate on matt bellamy's guitar.

Why not boss?

The blogger is only 100Ma

Have you tried the new Zoom units? They're pretty quiet.

If the M13 is rediculous, I think the M9 is smaller?

When you say it's cutting out, do you mean it keeps turning off? You can tell by the power light. If it's not turning off, there's no reason to think it would be the PSU.

Is it related to movement at all IE does this happen when you're rocking the whammy?

When I tried the blogger I tried it daisy chained on my Godlyke Powerall, which i'm pretty sure should be able to handle it. I swapped one analog dirt pedal out for the blogger, and it wouldn't work. I don't think it consumes that much power?

I often wonder why people bother with reverb pedals. Are you playing in a really dry room? Or is it for some sort of "special effect"?

A really cheap and very fun addition to any board is a feedback loop.

yeh, i've never bothered with the blue light 'cos I have bulbs in my studio
