@Alfie Noakes please find responses to your query above. You'll need to excuse the pomposity of some of our fellow BC'ers, for which I can only apologise, as they seem to find it hard to imagine that not all bass players might have got to grips with all their pedals, but they seem to have at least provided the answer to your query.

Defo no need to apologise (can't have too much of Hooky can we? 😊) and welcome to the Yammy thread if that was a first post from you on here (and my turn to apologise if I missed any of your earlier posts!). Are you a current / former Yammy owner - if so, please spill the beans!

I guess I can better understand why the other chap was too shy to post on here now. And love the fact that comment is from someone who can't even manage to back-up their patches 😂 For the record I never really used my Stomp which is why I sold it and am only really just getting started on HX Effects, so indeed "no" in answer to your Q. Happy?

@krispn - here you go. It was a "first cut" idea and hopefully you'll be able to improve on it! Synth Patch.pdf

I had this query from a BC'er who has just moved from HX Effects to Stomp: "I only used the Simple Pitch effect, and wanted a smaller footprint i.e. no heavy case to lug in. The Stomp also has that effect, but I’m not too blown away by it. I can’t just turn it on and off, I have to go from effect to another effect, or total Stomp bypass." Obviously one of the nice features of HX Effects is that you can go into "pedal board" mode and treat a single patch as 6 six separate effects which you can switch on and off, each with it's own stomp switch and HX Stomp does not have the equivalent ability given its smaller footprint / fewer stomp switches and single display vs 6 scribble strips. That's all well trodden ground. But I was just wondering if there is a workaround for this chap's particular issue e.g. by using snapshots or similar? Can I throw this one over to the Stomp user crew please?

@Muzz - sounds like it's getting pretty close to what you've been looking for? @marleaux62 - Mick had exactly the same thoughts (great minds and all that?) and has come up with a cunning plan for sorting! If it works, I'll leave him to share.

The playing is nice, but you are using quite a lot of fx that I would not myself typically use, so personally I preferred your previous clips you uploaded for us in Jan:

Love your YT profile name - "Go Basserk"! Excellent!

We clearly need to get you into the office more often! 😁 PS just 102 mins to go now...

Ok will make a mental note of these for my KS. The rest of my herd can make do and mend with D'Addario EXL170s nickels which are 60% cheaper!

You've raised the bar with your analysis gents! 😁

Congrats on the new bass! Is it the ELIXIR Nanoweb Nickels you're recommending in particular?

I think he's maybe got this - Kemper Profiler Stage. Which is probably as good as multifx gets currently! (£1,433 from Thomann)

Scott playing @ped's old KS...

Need to figure what the possibilities are on Helix but if it can do what the EHX can, it basically allows you to sustain a note (or chord) whilst continuing to play a bass line. Probably of more value on original material / home noodling than covers. EHX Freeze [Bass Demo] - YouTube

I need to check out the new Poly Sustain - apparently it's been kicking EHX Freeze off pedal boards!

Always like the bass tone of Dua Lipa's bass player. Couldn't make out what bass and multifx he's using - love to know

We've been missing your MA clips Mr Basserk! Do you find that playing red basses really improves your tone and do your bandmates and audience notice the difference? And if it tears you apart then there will be red on more than just the bass...😁

Being small doesn't necessarily make you more expensive though. You have smaller overheads in terms of property and people costs for a start. Small professional firms are often a lot cheaper than big ones, for example.

This one...I see what you mean, very tasty! And has the reverse P setup to boot.

Agreed. And they don't look too shabby in black either! But did the 2004 and 2005 both precede the NE2 and were ceased production after the NE2 came out?

I was going to say - not surprised that is has such great sustain if it's a thru neck. Except it's not! 😎 I'm guessing there won't probably be a 5 string version, which is a shame, in the same way that the NE2 was not, to my knowledge, ever released as a 4 string.

Thanks - that was an interesting pic of the NYXL B string taper. I suspect the definition of a "very long time" will likely vary (Chinese ambassador: "a thousand years is not a 'long time' for us!"). Typical bass player? Guess it's gonna all depend on whether you like your sound mellow or bright! I'm probs in the 6 months to 1 year category for my 2 or 3 'busy basses', but definitely > 1 year for most of the rest, and my EUB strings are 3yrs+ and going fine!

These really are proving popular if they're already sold out! Well done Boss with coming up with a great OC2 replacement (from the vast majority of comments I've seen anyway) at an affordable price point!

That's great - very low latency for a wireless transmitter. Not sure I follow this? I guess my PB would be always plugged in for home use - just put the pedals in bypass mode** when I don't want to use them, and just a case of swapping the transmitter over between basses. But either way I'm looking forward to the WL-20s as currently my SH is not on my board and there's no space for it! ** I did notice that my EUB was significantly noisier going through my PB with everything in by-pass the other day, and the noise disappeared when I went EUB --> amp directly, which I wasn't expecting! As you know I couldn't get on with my Xvive's - found them to be very glitchy. As Bassfan mentioned - that's probably due to the fact it only seems to work well with certain bass input sockets and not others.
