Thought it was just a 'grey area' 😂

I agree about the bass type. my P34 doesn't quite sound like a Fender P, and has a bit of that Jazz vibe going on so maybe that does work better. @OsirisI forgot to add that my setting included those Grunt/Attack things both set to flat. I didn't want much, or any tone shifting other than getting a bit dirtier. As far as the BDDI sim goes, i find its as good as the MK1 version but lacks the mid control of my MK2. Plenty of options in the Stomp to bring that back though.

Ive actually just stopped using it and have replaced the B7K with the BDDI Sim. This seems to get me back to my old tone, but with the Fearless F112 adding extra clarity that i couldn't get before. The only downside is i dont think the BDDI does dirt as well as the Bk7, but i dont want to end up using both, so i have the BDDI on a FS with added Drive (going up from 6 to 7.5) and slightly lower level.. I like the idea of my basic tone, but with dirt added, rather than using something that will change the tone as well. M y setting for the Distortion in the B7k was just Drive on 5, mix/blend on 6 (this made the most difference)and the rest pretty much as it comes. I did play with with taking out the EQ and that too sounded good, but my goal was just to dirty up my base tone, rather than have an obviously distorted tone.

This is what i do for live playing. I did have the DG B7k programmed as my base tone for each patch, always on so no foot switch assigned to it. I then have foot switch 1 set to turn the distortion part of this on and off. Foot switch 2 has Chorus as i tend to use that quite often, and Foot switch 3 of each patch has a different effect.

I’m like that. Quite often go home deflated and straight on here to look for new gear, but the next day when i listen back to the recording i tend to feel different. Also same she playing at home. Some nights I can sit for hours playing, and other nights with the same settings etc I can’t get in to it at all......one or two rum and cokes seem to make things sound and feel a lot better though..

A true gent 👍

That’s camera shake. Someone was very excited when they took that shot lol.

Now I can finally ad something to this thread. I’m now the new owner of @Al Krow’s Fearless F112. Very grateful to him for helping me out getting one so quick;y. 3 month wait? Nah. 4 days? That I could just manage lol. It was either this or another BB2, and after the things Ive said about the BB2 I used to own we both knew it was the wrong move. I needed a one hand life cab, that could of handle Social clubs and pubs without PA support, and of course sounds good. My TCE RS212 ticks some boxes but not enough, and as its a two hand life I found i was t taking it to rehearsals, which wasn’t a good idea. This new cab will go everywhere with me. Not the lightest, but light enough to carry with one hand. Cant wait for the next rehearsal, and more so the up coming gigs.

Ironically I have one still in its its box at work. Ill never use it as I don’t have room for these sort of cases. Cant sell it though as it came with the bass.

Always full up for me as well. If I sound check with a certain level I want to know it will stay like that. Too much room for error if I don’t have the volume knob set to somewhere it won’t move. I have other ways of getting louder and softer.

It is indeed a very impressive little box. Ive never seen a need to have one of these things in a band context, and my experience with this sort of thing has been the cheesy Taurus type of sounds from my Zoom boxes, but hearing @Al Krow playing this (I say playing, it seems to more or less payed itself) took me back to early DrWho, right up to the sequenced parts in a film soundtrack. Impressively the tracking never once glitched or got confused. Most impressed with the upright bass tone effect coming from it. That, I could see some use for.

Cool. Ill keep an eye out. To be honest it’s quite a trek for me, as I don’t drive and it’s a pain to get to by public transport, but Ill try and get up there again. Hoping to get a few in next year as well. Pete said we went down well even though the place was empty. We had people dancing so must have have done something right. Oh, and we met Dave, who we thought worked there at first. Nice bloke 🙂

Wow, nice gig.

Gad we got it working Bas. For reference there is only one style of that socket, it’s been around for years. Your socket is actually broken. The centre bit is missing. That’s why they look different. The fix should hold as long as you don’t go unplugging too much. Loved that little Boss synth pedal. Very impressive. Oh, and thanks again again for the other thing. It nearly killed me carrying it from the car and up to the flat lol. That was much further than I would normally carry it not a problem at all. Nice and sturdy Installs confidence in it.

Its not the footswitch, , it’s the dials below the screen. Just sometimes the numbers change to white. I think it’s to do with snapshots but I don’t have any programmed in, and if it was, why not all the parameters changing colour.

I dont gig as much now, but when we were gigging most weekends I just looked on it like work. Some good days, some bad days. Had I refused to do the bad ones I felt I was letting the band (team) down, as some of those needed the money live, so just got,on,with it. I chose to be in that situation so never complained. Life isn’t perfect, and sometimes you just need to get on with it. Saying all that, there were many time so wished I wasn’t there, but then I’d think how lucky I was to be gigging and making money from it, so again, I just got on with it. Had we not had half the band needing the money as their only main income I guess we would have been more selective.

No, that’s not the answer. What I’m after is a block that’s used in more than one patch linked to a master version if that makes sense. So if I adjust a parameter in one patch the block get updated in the others without me having to cut and paste. Not end of the world of course, but it’s a feature I’d like to have. Another slight irritation is when the press down on one of the 3 smaller knobs, it resets the corresponding parameter. I’d love it if another press took ti back to how I set it. I thought it did at one point but can’t see it working. Actually, a question about that. Why, when I press down on one of those knobs do I sometimes get the parameter turn white? I’m not using any snapshots yet.

Instrument. I think it’s on by default but worth checking.

Press the two page buttons at the same time, then page right to take you to global settings, then on the first screen (ins/outs) scroll all the way to the right. Oh, and check you have the correct input settings while you are there. EDIT. Seen you found it already.

Glad to help. I must admit I get overwhelmed with the amount of ‘master’ and ‘Level’ controls, its a bit off putting. Its nice that there is an overall one. For gigs I don’t use any amp modelling, so its not too bad. I use a default tone, with a distortion on switch one, and chorus on switch two. I then have duplicate patches with the 3rd switch set of either filter, phaser or sub octave. I use an external 2 2 switch box to change these patches depending on the song. This is why I need to find an easier way that if I adjust the basic tone (the B7K Ultra) I can get the new parameters to the other patches.

Yep, same here regarding the volume knob. The lest setting to do the better IMO. I’m really impressed with how well this thing has been thought out.

Its probably in Edit but I don’t use that, so I’m talking about on the Stomp itself. Scroll to the white circle at the very right hand side of the block window. You have pan and level control for the main outs. You could also try going to the left hand side and adjusting the input impedance if you are using a hot bass. I think that’s what it’s for.

You can set each patch level independently. there is a level control at the very right had side of the block window. This is my way of doing it. Assuming your signal level is fine going through the blocks, then that might be a quick way of levelling things up.

Will do, see you soon.

This is how I’ve approached mine. As I do all my editing at home with headphones I need to know exactly where to go once I’m in a band situation, so I’ve avoided using my PC. I have hoked it up once, just to back my patches up. I really wish there was a way of setting defaults for a specific sim, and then have the ability to adjust it across a few patches. I can cut and paste, but it’s quite labours. oh, and I’m sure I’m late to the party but I noticed yesterday that the through signal doesn’t cut out if the power does. That’s pretty cool and a nice safe feature.
