  1. Mine was a brand new around Dec 22. Not sure there's been a newer model since? Our issue was shielding rather than bleed from the main outs. Are you guys using wired IEMs with it?
  2. How good is the poly pitch shifter on the Stomp for tracking? Not come across pedals that do this really well, so this would definitely make the Helix effects worth considering for me (maybe something like a Pod Go).
  3. That's helpful thanks. We're actually using pretty limited stage monitoring, guitarist has a small Behringer B205D one in the main line up, but otherwise we use IEMs. Is it the high frequencies that are usually the main culprit for feedback? We've certainly had low end boominess too, which I suspect is not uncommon for many bands at some point.
  4. Ok - in which case if you were to wander into an audience you would likely face drop outs pretty quickly with the Lekato? If so, the Nux is likely to fare better. Obvs not an issue if you don't wander into the crowd occasionally though, as I have to 'fess-up to doing from time to time!
  5. Looking forward to getting your thoughts on it!
  6. In terms of eliminating feedback there seems to be a consensus that cutting the pre EQ input gain on the desk is better than cutting the post EQ faders vol. Is that the correct approach? If so, what's the thinking behind it given the volume per channel ends up being the same ?
  7. It's certainly a good value bit of kit. Are you using it with IEMs? We found ours fine with wired IEMs but unusable with our Xvive wireless IEMs due to the lack if shielding from the relatively cheap plastic casing. We subsequently swapped to Soundcraft MTK12 which works well, is multitrack and still decent value.
  8. But fine if the punters' bodies are between?
  9. Worth mentioning to Thomann? I think @BigRedX has previously said it's a legal obligation to supply a UK adaptor?
  10. Wot Sam said 😊 And overall more "realistic" sounds / better pitch shifting. But the nuances may not matter a great deal in a live band mix to anyone but ourselves. Will be much more noticeable in a home or studio environment when you're not competing with a drummer and guitarist. And even with whatever processing power, few multis can yet still do as decent a filter or synth sound comparable to dedicated pedals. Bear in mind your full fat Helix has double the chip set and processing power of the Stomp (or HX Effects). It shouldn't therefore run into the same processor power limitations that @Jack was referring to.
  11. If processing power is an issue, then maybe have a think about the Boss GT1000 Core as an alternative? The Stomp chipset is almost 9 years old now and getting a little long in the tooth compared to some of its rivals. That's not a criticism that can be levelled at the software patches available for the Stomp though!
  12. I found the Lekato noticeably noisier i.e. it introduced a slightly gritty/dirty tone with a couple of my basses. Tbf I would say the Boss WL-20 was even cleaner than either (comparable to a cable). The Nux has excellent range - I've wandered 20m+ to the back of a couple of venues we've played at mid-set with no drop-outs. The Lekato may be able to match - but I never got as far as testing for this.
  13. So how about using the filter on its own without the compressor at all? How does that sound?
  14. Haha there are several, right? eg Boss ES5? But personally I'm content in a live band mix to get something that works well. I appreciate for studio work you would likely want to get something more refined and honed.
  15. Agreed - which ties into the school of thought that says give the filter pedal the most complex input signal you can to filter i.e. pretty much at the end of the signal chain. In which case you would then put your compressor or limiter (to tame unwanted spikes) after it, if you're using one.
  16. That pretty much exactly summarises my journey, too. Except I went one step further and got a set of Nux 5.8 Ghz wireless having tried the Lekato - the Nux are more on a par with the Boss in terms of both price and quality IMO.
  17. @Jakester "I have a pedalboard setup that I'm happy with" I think you've answered your question 😊 If, however, you fancy spending a lot of time getting up to speed on a multi-fx and tweaking it so that it gets close to your dedicated pedals with your specific rig, so that you're equally happy with your Stomp well that's an entirely different matter - crack on!
  18. Well if it's good enough for Mohini Dey 😁...apparently one of just two pedals on her board she has gone and bought herself. The rest were given to her. Maybe a smart move for Andras to pop a V4 in the post to her along with your manual and get her to record a demo for you? Just a thought!
  19. Turns out that Mohini Dey is a bit of an FI fan!
  20. Schecter Stiletto Studio-8 with Schecter hard case. 8 string bass (E, A, D, G plus octave up) recently professionally set up with new strings and is in a lovely condition - I've not seen too many of these come up for sale. The bass is very comfortable to play and delivers a warm, rich tone. Has barely been used since I acquired it and deserves to find its way to another home where it will be put through its paces! Happy to meet half way within a reasonable distance of East London or can arrange a courier within the UK (P&P extra). Specs: EMG pick-ups 34" scale 24 frets 3 band EQ, volume and pick-up selector knobs weight: 4.1kg / 9.0 lbs
  21. That's another thumbs up for this new A&H range and a cumulative GAS leak into our collective consciousness! Being digital can you can tailor whatever fx you want to each channel? Unlike a lot of analogue desks where the fx choice is global and either apply it or not is then the only option, so ends up being reverb for vox and off for the rest of the band. Please talk us through the key benefits of the Double Tracker for your set up?
  22. That's the one! Simon's in-depth knowledge about compression is pretty much unrivalled.
  23. Out of interest, which parameters would you look to control on drive and EQ? Just checked my three fuzz pedals and none of them have expression input options. One of my two filter pedals does (but not the other).
  24. Hi Jeff - 18mm spacing (with individual bridge saddles). I think it was made in Taiwan.
