acronym

Cheers, I'm really looking to how the effects of the FR compare to the B3.

I'm never going to gig but just record bass to my beats so was wondering still regardless as I'm interested in sound how does the two compare if I only need a resources of good effects?.

Need a guitar to be picked up and shipped to me, if anyone can help?. Thanks

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1370261745' post='2098180'] Oh right. Nothing to worry about there then (at least, its fine for me). It seems to be a very strong signal. The way i use mine when im not recording means that im hearing the bass coming directly out of the B3, rather than going through the PC and coming back out. The ASIO driver allows you to adjust the sample rate and latency if your system is a bit lacking, but im getting a better signal, and lower latency than when using my M-Audio 24/94 sound card with programs like Sonar X1 and Audition CS6.

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1370248668' post='2097953'] Yes you can do all that, although im not sure about getting clean signal. Do you mean direct unaffected or just clean as in not broken up? The only way i can see of getting a direct, non affected signal is to turn the effects off. Using the B3 as a USB interface allows you to use the headphone jack on the box itself, and you can listen back to music coming from the PC, whilst at the same time using the B3 in the normal way (ie, effects, different patches etc). The B3 also has a mix control so you can use this to balance the Bass level with whats coming back from the PC, so the B3 tone doesn't have to go through the PC in order to play alone with MP3's etc, although turning that all the way to max cuts off the direct B3 tone and only gives you 100% whats coming back from the PC. I guess this is more for using with recording software. Depending on your PC you should be able to get quite low latency. Mine is 2ms without any issues. There is also a level out for recording over USB. This gives a bit of extra boost or cut. I think ive got all the above correct, ive not used mine too much like this but i did find it so much easier to use with my PC than using software like Amplitube and GuitarRig etc. [/quote] Cheers this is great news, what I mean is there much hiss, static when plugging in a guitar or bass when connecting to the pc if that makes sense?.

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1370109287' post='2096581'] Well thats how it works for me with my PC. As soon as its hooked up to my Windows 8 PC it becomes the default in and output device. [/quote] Cheers, can I ask too stupid question because I need a usb audio interface can I still feed a guitar into the pedal to record as well?, is the signal clean and also as important can you still use the headphones to listen too and can you still apply effects on while using as usb audio interface?.

can someone explain to me how does this work as an audio interface for a laptop, is it case of just plugging it in and then I can use it as my audio card in ableton?.

Cheers the guitar multi effects unit is for sale, tempted to get it and plug it into the bass

Stupid question but why is it a bad idea or not since I don't a clue why you can't use a guitar effects unit?. Why should I get a dedicated bass unit, thinking of getting a b3 but just wondering why?

^Thanks, at the moment its just day 1 but having real problems stretching my fingers out from fret 1-3 already. I thought the smaller fretboard would alleviate that issue but after a 2 hours practising my hand kills now. Still going to stick to finger walking but the sounds from the sounds aren't the warm low sound you expect from a bass, instead it sounds choppy and lots of buzzzz.
