Sorry, in waxing lyrical I forgot to directly respond; it’ll work just like a Bass Whammy if you so desire. Well done sir, yes exactly that. 👍 You update via the Line 6 updater software on your PC or Mac.

The pitch shifting and is one of the most impressive features of the HX Stomp. I’ve just setup a -4 semitones queens of the stone age patch and it tracks as well if not better than my VB-99! I also setup a Unibass style patch with excellent results.

Me too.

I just got one too. Great bit of kit. Think I’m going to get a Gekko switcher as I’d like the ability to ‘engage’ the patch having scrolled to the correct one. I'm also contemplating going fully frfr as a result of how good the amp modelling is on the HX stomp.

I think there’s even a ‘Pino’ patch if I remember correctly?

Y, the software is Gumtown from Talkbass and VGuitar forums editor. It’s the software that Roland/Boss should have developed and didn’t. https://fxfloorboard.sourceforge.io/info.php?model=gt-10b

If you’re sure the cable is working (ie. You’ve tried running other hardware through it that worked) I would uninstall your drivers and start again. Make sure the GT-10b isn’t connected when you reinstall. Forget the Boss software and use GT-10BFxFloorboard. It had all the Boss features plus all the editing features you’ll ever need. I’m running GT-10BFxFloorboard on an IMac and it was a sinch to setup. I can’t imagine it’s that much more involved on a PC?

What software are you trying to use?

Bought an ART headphone amp from Dave. Perfect purchase. Excellent comms, arrived next day, packaged amazingly including a print out of the manual. First class service and (as if he needed it, judging by the previous 16 pages of positivity) another high recommendation from me. This is why I love Basschat.

Love the headstock logo 👍

Yes, micro POG is digital and has wet and dry outs. I’m sending the wet output woth ocatve up only through the GT-1b (it has high gain Gtr amp sims) adding a bit of delay and verb gets you close to the RB type sound. I’ve actually spent a lot of time working with different setups; AKAI unibass, micro POG, and even Hex pickup equipment to achieve the split effect. I still favour the POG and a multi such as the GT-1b.

You are correct, I’m splitting the signal in a micro POG and then processing the signal with the GT-1b apologies for not being clear.

Cheers for the heads up, now ordered.

I’ve been using this for all my own scribbled charts and any other dots for ages. Fulfills all your criteria above: https://itunes.apple.com/tc/app/unrealbook/id370135173?mt=8

Interesting, I'd only just seen this thread. I'm a long time user and fan of Boss/Roland stuff - GT-10b, GR-55, VB-99, GT-6b, ME-8b, BE-5b, zillions of Boss compacts. I would have also highly recommended the GT-1b for your needs and budget. Its basically a stripped down GT-10b and I think it actually has a few advantages sound wise over its bigger brother. Where it does fall down is the menu/GUI navigation which can be a bit confusing. I get around this by using the Boss Tone Studio software, which makes editing easy. Its also a little awkward to jump up and down multiple patches on the fly. I get round this by grouping patches together or adding a default patch either side of any more radical ones. To comment on your summary above. 1/ It did take me some considerable tweaking to finally settle on a transparent default patch at something close to unity gain. The pre loaded patches all seemed very hot and so I started from scratch constantly bypassing the GT-1b to check. Once this was done I designed all my patches using the default patch as starting point and again bypassing and checking levels etc. repeatedly. 2/ The Chorus has a Low and High pass filter built in. If you set the The 'Lowcut' to anything above 125Hz you should retain all the low end as It'll be unprocessed. I actually find the Chorus in the GT-1b more extreme than either my CE-2b or CEB-3. I mostly use it for a subtle wash though rather than full on sea-sick wobbliness. I'd strongly advise to to spend some serious time getting to know the sound and capabilities of the unit before you dismiss it. Every multi effects I've ever used has its own idiosyncratic nature. There are usually some things that each multi does well its just a matter of learning how to use the unit and find the sweet spots. The GT-1b is a great multi and is a very powerful bit of kit, I've programmed (and use regularly) Everything form Face melting Fuzz patches, through gentle grind, some rudimentary synth patches, It has a brilliant OC-2 emulation, the T-wah is one of my faves (including boutique stuff and my Mu-Tron III), I've even managed Royal Blood type splits and crazy Hammond organ patches. Stick with it , I'm sure it'll be accompanying you on a gig soon.

I’ve got it somewhere, I’ll dig out my transcription.

Thursday for me.

Blue amp too, that must be worth extra points.

No problem, we’ve used it for a few years and it’s such a well thought out app. Has made setlist and lyric recall so much easier.

I replaced my Equinox stands with some Gorilla stands. I had to remove the spigot and add a cup like this; https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F202322229989 The Gorilla stands come with an attachment that sits inside the top of the stand and the lights then clamp onto them perfectly.

I sometimes use an octave pedal if using a four string for the low D, but I’m usually on a 5 or 6 these days so no need.
