Yeah - that Lasse Vuorsola did a great job with his first video, which was all the confirmation I needed given that from my OC5 and SY 200 experience I knew that Boss seemed to have nailed tracking algorithms better than most. Loved the fact he then asked for and dealt with specific queries with a second video. Hero.

Nah, get your own! You didn't wait for me to move my recently purchased cheap-as-chips Ali XP floor floor light on, before getting one, did you? And what about those excellent KZ-ZARs eh, which you jumped on post Krow purchase and recommendation? You're definitely at risk of becoming a West Country Krow gear groupie... But where were you when I eventually upgraded my Boss SY-1 for a Boss SY-200? Boss SY-1 - Effects - Basschat

Yeah I think it's the same side by side spec for the XS-1 and XS-100; I think the key difference being the presets (very useful) and the built in expression pedal on the XS-100
-
Thanks - doesn't seem to be any info online? But, if that's the case, that could make it a serious contender with 2 speakers each delivering 600W RMS. Scrap that, apparently the power module delivers 600W RMS so that will be split between the two speakers, and its claim of 2,400W peak is pretty far-fetched.

Appreciate that @Happy Jack was already sorted before I happened on his thread, however also an ongoing topic of interest for me! I've come across 3 subs which could also tick the box, which may be of wider interest: Behringer B1200D Pro - 500 W RMS 19.5kg / 43 lbs £239 Subzero 2 x 10 - 600W RMS (I've asked G4M for the weight) - normally £500, currently on sale at £380 dB Tech 612 - 600W 19.8kg / 44 lbs £395 No idea how decent any of these are, so if anyone has had experience of any of these, I'd be very interested to know?
-
I was very tempted by the XS-100 - having presets to scroll through would make it super useful live. But as I already have an expression pedal and wanting to go for something compact I've ended up with the XS-1, hopefully arriving in a couple of days. Our Alto singer is very excited about this opening up more of our set list to her and I'm equally excited about not having to learn songs in different keys!

Follow up YT post by Lasse Vuorsola dealing with several queries about the pedal he received from TB'ers:
-
May be a while off, we're still at F1-4 VIP methinks? 😅
-
Thanks for sharing that! Would you say it performs better at 8 string emulation with high rather than low notes?
-
Or, if you're desperate for one but haven't been able to get your hands on one yet, start at 4 and work backwards?
-
I'll take that as a "yes" then? 😅 I think I'm maybe excused from needing excuses, having bought (and subsequently moved on) 5 of these FIs over several years (starting way back in 2018)? You know, a bit like getting lifelong immunity from having had a course of vaccines? Risk is that HMRC will come after me for trading in FIs...
-
Sounds good! Is that what the new VIP model looks like with a light shone on it?
-
I've caved. I'm in a band where certain songs can be done in up to 3 different keys, a few semis apart, to suit the vocal register of whichever of our singers is taking lead on a particular night, so this could potentially be a game changer and has rightly pushed itself to the front of the queue, ahead of a couple of more exciting/fun pedals on my wish-list - but which would have been more icing and less cake. Should be arriving next week, fingers crossed.
-
Looks great!
-
With you on MXR Bass Synth as a wish list item! Can recommend the EBS IQ as an excellent and really good value filter. PS and my only variance (given how well our multifx does general modulation!) with your expanding wishlist would be to trade the Boss RE-2 for an SL-2 😉
-
Re. chorus - I think he was using an external chorus as I can't see anything on the pedal itself that does chorus? But if I missed that, even better! He goes 4 semitones down (= 2 steps in his terminology) at 01.40 and says it get "flubby", although it sounds way better than on my multifx! Going down from E --> B is 5 semis i.e. 2.5 steps (not 4) using his terminology - he's actually open to requests (see the equivalent post on Talkbass), so you could ask him there? (If you're on that, if not I can gladly ask him on your behalf?) My sense is it won't be awful, but probably not great either?
-
And maybe worth mentioning a big plus of the XS-1 is the Drop is a one way street: only down. Word on that same street is that the XS-1 not only up-shifts, but has one of the best octave-ups in the business. If that's the case, looks like my OC-5 could be heading for the exit!
-
Yeah same re. the Drop - disappointingly didn't find that much, if any, improvement over my Zoom B1-4. Look forward to getting your thoughts!
-
How good is the pitch shift on the Anagram for bass? Generally loving my GT1000 Core as a serious quality step up from my previous Zoom multi, but its pitch shift is pretty meh!
-
Bass demo finally out, and a decent one to boot. It sounds pretty darned good to me and obvious use as both a pitch shifter and an octave pedal. Well done (again) Boss!

Nice one! And the good thing about your pedal purchases is that they're usually followed by some decent video footage! Looking forward to it - if this thing can pitch shift with tight tracking and lack of glitch-iness (I guess the best test is playing intervals with the clean sound underneath?) then its baby bro the XS-1 is getting added to my (growing, haha) "must buy soon" pedal list! Currently no video footage with bass as far as I can see - all guitar clips. So could be a world premiere for you, as an incentive! 😉
-
That can't be right? 😅
-
Thanks Phil - typo? "Hum can be transmitted..." Just to prove I read your comments word for word, haha!
-
Been getting hum through the PA speakers (RCF 932 and previously 912s) at certain venues. Assuming it's down to the electrical interference from the wiring. Is there anything that can be done to minimise?
-
My mate has 4 of these to put around the band, he's using a cheap keyboard case to transport all 4, but agrees it's not particularly protective. I would have thought a pole bag with as many slots as you need could work and not break the bank?
