My venues are less salubrious...

I play a couple of places on a regular basis, and they both make the black hole of Calcutta look like a Christmas Tree. Can't see my hand in front of my face. Now as I'm reading for most of the gig it's not the end of the world but I do need to check my hand position now and then. So this is my solution. It's a rechargeable light intended for reading but fits rather neatly on my strap. This be the link. https://amzn.eu/d/bJPITDq

Thank you.

Indeed.

This is the point. The faster and easier it is to get the sound you want using only the controls on the pedal, the faster and easier it is to adjust in a gig situation.

Jealous!

I only had it for a short time before I had to leave for the gig. Therefore I programmed no special patches just half a dozen individual effects in the first six preset slots. If I needed an effect in a song I scrolled to it and kicked it in when I needed it. I'll give you a more in depth review when I've had time to play.

Gorgeous

First gig with the new Zoom (new to me, anyway) and despite only having had it for a few hours it was brilliant. Quick and easy to adjust on the fly, awesome sounds; I could use this and no other pedals quite happily. I've got so many pedals from boutique to big name, no name, hand made, Chinese clones, classic old school, plastic cases, hand painted, digital, analogue, big, tiny super expensive and dirty cheap. But this pedal produced such an amazing bass sound tonight - nothing else I own could do better. Fair to say I'm blown away.

I couldn't resist. Pedal board is back in the car

Been rehearsing in a start up reggae band. Had the first session where everyone clicked the other day. I can honestly say that playing reggae bass is a wonderful experience. Meditation ain't in it. I could play the same two bar riff for hours without noticing the time going by.

I've just joined the club! Very excited to play with it. Edit: After 20 minutes I can safely say I love it. Extremely tempted to gig it tonight. Always loved Zoom pedals, so simple to navigate, no need for a manual or a computer.

I've just expanded my Zoom armoury.

What a great example of a Basschatter @patrikmarky is. Enquired about a pedal a couple of days ago and here I am using it this morning. Very fair pricing, excellent packaging, clear prompt communication throughout - an entirely flawless transaction.

Some bits of wood and metal balanced together precariously but just able to get home before revealing their true nature. I just soldered in the new jack and now I hate how it hangs on the strap

You have a link sir?

I bought an overpriced piece of crap which I've attempted to make playable. Despite my non existent skills and patience. I figured it's worthless as is and I'm so cross - why not? What harm can it do? Gave up. Bunged it in a case and hid it in the corner. Every now and then I remember it and think about getting it out but hate it too much. Yesterday I weakened. Plugged it in and it didn't sound too bad. Then the jack socket stopped working. It's one of those awful barrel ones so now I need a new one of those. Back into the corner.

They are absolutely brilliant.

From the couple of YouTubers I've seen reviewing it, seems like a nice blatty fuzz

Yeah he's getting them all sorted still

I can remember like it was yesterday when I first picked it up in the music shop and played a couple of notes. In many ways I've been looking for that sound ever since, but of course it was just the first time I'd heard a decent bass. You can never recreate a 'first'

Went to band rehearsal last night and no one commented on my new knobs. Bar stewards.
