Owners? Not seen anyone here that has one yet.

I watched a video today on this and now think I’ll pass at the moment. i hadn’t realised the EQ is boost only. I’ll put it on my Christmas list though.

Well it did so i got it, posted above.

Just be aware the drum machine is in the app, not the pedal as far as i can see. it’s nowhere near as versatile as the Zoom IMO, but i feel the amps and cabs sound more convincing.

Back down to £52, and when i went to check out i noticed i have £13.99 amazon credit, so total came to £38. Thanks for the heads up. At least i have a use for one of the Chocolate foot switches i brought again.

I paid £65 for mine but sent it back, purely to free up some funds, but I’m also itching to try a ToneX (going to sell my Microbass 3 to fund it), but if the offer comes up again I’ll jump on it anyway.

Can’t see that price at my end. Still showing £65

Can i ask what the protocol is when you turn up to a venue that has something like an XR32 and i want to control my own IEM mix. Do sound guys normally allow us to connect to their system and use Mixing station etc?

I do find a bit of spatial widening makes can make quite a difference. Gives the instruments a bit more separation and clarity.

Ah thanks. That puts it in to the same category as the One then. Sorry, one more question. Is it possible to turn, say modulation on and off, or would it be a case of jumping between two patches, one with and one without?

Yeah, but can it work over USB with the ability to turn on/off the FX?

Then we agree. My point is why is it such a big deal that a company charges for an add on? Why would anyone expect it for free, or get upset that its not?

Not ‘have to’, but can if they want to 🤔

I was all set to get a Tonex One a few weeks ago, but then i found out that i cant just hook it up to a Chocolate (like i could with the GP-5), without the Pirate box. So i thinking of getting full size one. Not sure I’ll brother with the bass stuff at this point, an amp’s and amp after all, and there seems to be plenty in the standard version. Can anyone tell me if it’s possible to keep the amp/cab on and turn effects on and off? Would i still need soemthing like the Pirate box even with the larger Tonex, or can i hook it up directly? Thanks for any info. Im still trying to get my head around what is and isn’t possible with these things.

Isn’t that just business? No one if forced to upgrade, but surely if you want new things it’s not out of the ordinary to pay for them.

That really wound me up as well. Since when is on the player to provide all the gear needed to go in to a PA anyway.

Thanks Pete. I guess I’ll have to take some of ours with us. Some of us use IEM, but i in particular need to as I’m playing keys without an amp. i can plug my IEM’s in to a small mixer but not sure how I’ll hear the others. Lots of workarounds but won’t know until on the night.

We have a gig coming up there soon. This will be the first gig without our own PA and im just wondering what the monitor situation is.

Yeah, i think these are a great size for sitting on a desk (mine is white) for the odd blast. i do have a Fender Rumble 25 in my wardrobe that i never, ever use. I suppose i could get that out but thats a lot more hassle.

For me it was just something I thought looked cool and liked the price. I dont think id get much use out of it as I always use headphones at home and it's not loud enough to use with a band. Might put it on my Christmas list though, as I still think the white one looks cool.

Ive seen it for between £113 and £120 on AliExpress over the weekend. Over £100 just seems to take it out of the 'give it a go' category for me.

I suppose 'I’ve got a lot going on and I’m not in a good place' can partly explain his non communication. To be fair I think I would have got annoyed as well, but without knowing what his issue's are it might be a bit of an over reaction. The world is a global place, you could still do a zoom or group call from anywhere.

That will be the old Ashdown ‘blanket over the speakers’ effect 😎

I do play with experienced players, just not in this band. Any idea where i can find another band that will want me?

Like I said, mostly inexperienced but only one not willing to listen. I guess the youngest is 40 and im the oldest. Others probably mid 40s. Al have gigs, and the drummer is in a part time gigging band (he has experience and we are on the same page). This is the singers first covers band, he has been a singer/song writer for years. The lead just this he has dont it all and knows whats what, but his attitude stinks. Thanks of the support. like I say, its neither her nor there what happens in the future, its more for me to get back up to speed on bass after 4 years away, but it would be nice if the hard work paid off.
