Just got a EBS MB3, need a cheap IR loader for headphone practice.
dave_bass5 replied to dave_bass5's topic in Effects
Thanks. It's worth a go. Im ok with anything under 5ms latency. The whole point of me going this route rather than using an Amp sim on Mac is to make things easier to just pick the bass up and play. Otherwise I have all the amps and IR's I could possibly need on the Mac, with a latency of around 3ms. -

Thanks. I must admit until i got the Nux i too never got on with IR’s. Even when i had my Stomp i couldn’t use them. This is partly why i wanted to get a dirt cheap one. Nothing lost if i doesn't work for me. Could be the EBS will be fine without it anyway, it’s arriving today. -

Thanks. That looks quite cool. Ive not seen that one before. Ali Express has it for £22.50 so I’ll take a punt on that. I like the idea of not needing an app for the HPF/LPF, although i also think the app looks quite good. Those are the only control's id need. I’ll order one now. Good call. EDIT: Maybe not, it looks like it’s powered from the computer. is that right? I dont want it connected as a USDB device (other than to load IR’s). Ive had hum/noise and all sorts when ive used other gear like this. for me it has to be a PSU. -
A rather long winded workaround is to split the stems of the tracks, so you can isolate the bass. Either try and learn note for note, or find a DAW that can turn the audio in to midi notes and use those to work things out.

dave_bass5 replied to dave_bass5's topic in Effects
Thanks. I should clarify that it’s just going to sit between the EBS and my computer interface. I’ll take the headphone feed off the interface so no need for any headphone socket etc, although obviously i can just ignore that part. Also needs to be mains powered so i dont have to unplug anything when not using it. I see that NUX do one called Pulse. A bit more than i was hoping to pay but as i already love the IR’s in the MLD maybe that one will be better. -
Any suggestions? Ive seen the Sonicake IR loader and it looks good, but wondered if anyone has any other recommendations in this price range. £50 max I guess. It's purely for headphone practice at home, will never leave the house. Not even fussed about what it has in it etc, I just need to get that cab feel. Ive been using a Nux MLD preamp and got hooked on IR's, although I turn the IR off when using it with the band.

Ampeg SGT-DI question, and interference issue with 5.8Ghz wireless.
dave_bass5 replied to dave_bass5's topic in Effects
Well, i went and brought one new, and glad i did. 15mins later its boxed up and going back. Maybe i don’t understand what the Ampeg sound is, but i couldn't really get a tone i liked as much as the Nux. But thats not the deal breaker. What is was the fact that with the Preamp and SGT bypassed, and IR on (any IR), and my Lekato 5.8Ghz wireless plugged in, i was getting a lot of digital interference/noise. A huge amount. Used with a cable or even my old Xvive 2,4 system it was fine. Tried different PUS’s and in different rooms. This was on all outputs, even headphones. I think in the real world its not a problem id never not have the Preamp engaged, but at this price thats too big a ‘niggle’, especially as im not over the moon with the tone either. Might try the EBS Microbass 3 next, but it seems the Nux may well be around for a while. -
Gong. Just once at the very end of the song is fine, anywhere else is overplaying.....😇

dave_bass5 replied to dave_bass5's topic in Effects
Yeah i did go and look eariler. Good price, i wouldn't hesitate other than i have a knack of buying things and sending them back. 2 things are holding me back. Size and gain got get rid of the Nux, that ive brought twice in the past 6 weeks. The size thing isnt really a deal breaker, but the pockets on my Bass bag are pretty full. The Nux sits nicely in the headstock pocket. I can see the SGT wouldn't fit in there. This could well be GAS that goes wrong. I’ll keep you in mind though. -

dave_bass5 replied to dave_bass5's topic in Effects
Thanks. Ive since made my mate actually try it and he now confirms I was right. Very tempted to get one. -
Odd that the ad doesn't mention new strings and a "pro setup'. That normally add's a lot to the value....apparently 😂

dave_bass5 replied to dave_bass5's topic in Effects
Thanks for the replies. Im really only asking if the SVT/B-15 switch does anything with the SGT switch off, but good to get some real world impressions. -
Ive been looking at this preamp but getting conflicting advice about the SVT/B-15 switch. A mate has one and says he never uses the Grit side, but can hear a difference between the two modes. Reviews say this switch only affects the Grit side. Can anyone confirm what is going on with this switch please.

Love playing that on bass. We do this in my main band where im not on bass, and the bass player plays the verses back to front. Won't have it that its wrong, because 'no one has ever said anything' 🤔

Laney Digbeth Preamp vs Nux MBP-5. Ended up with EBS Microbass 3.
dave_bass5 replied to dave_bass5's topic in Effects
Ah right. cool. I found them all to be quite varied but like you, only one really works for me. It's a shame there isn't an iOS app I could use to change these over when away from the house. -

dave_bass5 replied to dave_bass5's topic in Effects
Strange about the IR's. All mine work, plus a couple of 3rd party ones. I tend to stick to the Aguilar one though (top of the list). Also use the Aguilar Amp sim. It sounds really nice to my ears, although ive never tried any of their gear. I really like it, it's a keeper....for now. -
Thanks, thats the one. I stand by my comment that it wasn't east to find, but I guess once you know you know. Thanks both, I wont forget next time.
