    Great board! Do you find the ultra wave and aftershock, and ultrawave and C4 overlap?

     

    there were always a few sounds from the original soundblox multiwave that I missed and the ultra wave gets pretty close to what I'm hearing between my ears.  

    there's definately overlap with the 3 SA though. the aftershock is more your classic distortion/ overdrive while the ultra creates different pallette of textures. depending on the gig will depend on what comes out with me.

    the C4 I leave purely for synthy stuff. for me it doesn't come close to the classic  OC2/5 or  subdecay ring mod, xerograph etc. i like the flexibility of beable to tweek pedals on the fly rather than having to scroll through menus on pedals in the middle of gigs  ...hence why i got rid of the Helix a while back.   

  2.  I used to have 10 basses in my possession, all relatively standards (stingray, warwick,...). Then a few years back I moved them on  went down to 2  basses, a Dingwall Z3 and Skjold Fretless.  Not cheap basses at all, but instruments that I found a connection with that I'd never done so before. Being able to play what was in your head and get it out thorough your hands via the instrument is [cheesey]  priceless! 

    If you can find this on a cheap(er) bass, go for it,   unfortunately I seemed to have expensive sounds in my head. 

    Interestingly, I used to chop/change my old bass collection regularly, not now, I've had the 2 basses for 6 years +

  3. so guys,  I want to upgrade my bass that has an Aguilar OBP2 in it to include a low pass mid filter...similar to an Alembic or Wal filter.

    I used to have an Alembic and miss their filter and Q boost and finding that I use the filter setting on the ottobit jnr on its own quite a bit.

    trouble is, I'm not sure if this control/ circuit  is available and where to get one from...

    anyone ever done a similar mod who can pass on some advice.

    thanks

    ... may I ask how do you use the two dittos? I saw the MC6 and was half expecting so see a Stomp on there as well ha ha ☺️

    haha, well there was a stomp on there a few months back. i had a vision to have one pedal to rule them all! but I tried, persevered ...just didnt like it. great features but I still found the xerograph filter or the oc2 or the sub decay ring mod or the ottobit was way better sounding than the stomp. sometimes being able to bend down and tweek a knob to adjust a sound is sooo much more convenient than scrolling through a family of menus.

    the mc6 mainly looks after the source audio family quite nicely and gas an expression pedal attached. . As for the ditto's, I ended  up with 2 of them and they work quite well, blending in/out swells, rhythm track on one of them ...etc while being able to copy the first loop to the second ditto is also useful. shame you can't  synch then though....next upgrade 😆

  6. Instruments are personal. The way they feel,  look sound etc. If I'm spending a significant amount would always want to try first.

    I've tried a few basses over the years expecting them to be 'the one's but they never turned out to be what I needed/ wanted.....and vice versa.

  7. So I'm sure there;s a simple answer out there..

    I have an effects chain starting with a compressor to boss OC2 then into various overdirive, envelopes, chorus etc....

    I would like to keep the OC2 as clean as possible in the final output without it going through all the other effects. 

    Whats the easiest way to do this, ie: boss LS2?,   Loop switches

    Any advise / experience appreciated
