Source Audio C4 synth bass pedal £120 - *SOLD*

If I kept it it would end up on my board - but I know it wouldn't get masses of use. -
You pick up the issue in your reply - it's not R&D but brand positioning
-
Here’s what the pedal it’s based on it sounds like -
C4 synth I bought last week off here for the same price… I used to own one, liked it, sold it, wanted another, saw one at a good price, bought it and then remembered why it didn’t really fit into my rig. it will do synth, it will do octave, harmoniser, arpegator, phaser, drive, distortion, Wavefolding and pretty much every filter sound known to man… it’s just not what I’m going to use. oomos original sale post here

If most their business is in guitars then I’m not sure G&L will have kept the Fender C-suite up at night. what it might let them do is have fender as the heritage brand and G&L as the wackier ideas brand, in bass world like you said they haven’t really changed much that catches on since moving the jazz pickup - it gives them two/three bass models that actually do something different - a decent 5 string and a more muscular humbucker

Want to expand on why you thought that?

having just glanced at it (and not tried it) I would be trialing just chords before onsong. What's the file format @GoodShowSir? I got used to the onsong syntax, is it similar?
-
I have the 2020 onsong - it was pay once and then no subscription model. It works if everyone has apple devices and uses it. I've spent so long building up a database of every song we ever sing in onsong format - to then find the new person who heads up the person reverted ... not to PDFs, but to folders of paper. I will be looking at this just chords thing
-
Except G&L's bits stand out are the things Leo developed while there - the bridge and pickups are an evolution of Fender, the preamp was ahead of its time (though probably dated now). I don't regret selling my 1981 L1000 - but really wish I hadn't had too. It was like the ultimate evolution of a P bass
-
out of interest, would you disagree if he was? 😁
-
I watched a music video of theres and was immediately looking at the G&L website - I’m not even a guitarist but if you’re not getting your I stuments out there with current players what are you doing?
-
Plus any tone shaping on the bass
-
On the other hand Active Di and phantom power has been a solution for the last half century 🤣
-
Though - not reading the title of the thread - orchid is not passive
-
Just bought Dave’s C4 pedal, super fast postage, impeccable packaging - deal with confidence thsnk you!
-
Metro20 and yould be fine depending how many envelopes and synth pedals you want?
-
Orchid DI - simple cheap and works well
-
I know a nice place to have a burger and pint in Caernarfon that isn't fun to get to from here...

full marks for graphic design

Trade offers listened too... including with ££ going your way if needed... Things that have caught my eye recently… MXR bass synth (like that will happen) FI4 Source Audio Artifakt dunlop mini vol/exp pedal Fender Japan sunburst 57ri serial R003045 Microkorg2 A telecaster oh and a wee bit about me. I’m a bass player with a day job in design and set myself the challenge of building something that looked great, sounded great and was really tiny, I only wanted to make one for me and one for Lee, but the way the economics of PCB assembly worked I ended up with ten boards - so I made up six, and then these as the last. Making them so small made them fairly intricate to put together - and took a while - someone asked me if I was going to make small runs of anything else … and it’s not for me. I’m amazingly impressed with the way folk like @Goliath_FX (try his hornburg) make a business out of pedal making, with electrical and mechanical design and business planning and so on. Hats off to them. i realise that I’m going utterly off topic in my old sale thread, but hey ho
