Oooosh I was just thinking recently if you still had this.

I only knew the Drop.

I had it 4-5 years ago, but I didn't like it.

Bass sounded unreal, but for only two songs wasn't bad solution.

 

I've seen that HX has some pitch pedals.

Do you recommend me to use Ricochet in addition to HX? And not the HX pich?

 

Thanks 

Try and do as much on the HX as possible, I know it’ll do something like the Ricochet. And what I mean when I recommend something like the Ricochet is you want a momentary octave up ramp/jump.

Should be easy to recreate in the stomp

Sorry ignore my suggestion of the Digitech Drop, I should have written Ricochet.

This will allow you to do what he does with the whammy but in a smaller pedal.

The HX Stomp can do it with a momentary setting or with an expression pedal/footswitch. I’m not quite sure of the specifics but plenty of people have done it.

The stomp is definitely the way to go as trying to do it with single pedals whilst fun is less flexible and far more expensive.

Twisted to me is a blended signal maybe with a light octaver on it into a filter and then a phase or chorus just to give it more warble. I could imagine that the G5 might be doing this and it’s a really easy sound to get with one of these but 🤷‍♂️

But listening to

You can cop these tones easily with the HX

Rabbit hole now.

So if I was doing this with single pedals you need a blend, a fuzz maybe two, a filter, a fuzzy filter like the EHX Bassballs or a synth pedal and I feel like a phaser and I’d run all of that into a fairly gritty Sansamp.

There is fuzz all over stuff, I’ve never really known where he uses the G5 but then I’ve never been able to get the swirly squelchy sound of Twisted. Which is always where I hear most of the fx.

If I had to do it with a small board I’d grab an EHX Bass Big Muff - the new MXR Bass Synth (with a switch for the presets) or a Digitech bass synth wah (depending on budget) - MXR Phase 95 - Sansamp.

Big board (no budget) I’d have a split going into a boss or source audio programmable eq pedal into a sansamp or the qstrip for clean and a ehx pog - digitech drop - jhs crimson or a wren and cuff box of war - jhs bender - digitech bass synth wah - digitech synth wah - mxr bass synth - analogman mini chorus - into a gritty sansamp then blend them back together and run that into a Neve DI or your choice of clean di box.

I’d probably use the gigrig wetter box and have the expression pedal for controlling the blend. I’d also likely shove my Subdecay Noise Theory and a Mojohand 442 or Dod 440 in there.

Grab a Stingray, that would do me and be hella fun to play. 

If I was doing it with a multi, I could cop the tones with a Zoom MS60b+ (it has a g5 emulation in it) but wouldn’t give me the switching I’d need live so I’d be on the HX Stomp or Anagram.

I could probably do most of it with the MXR Bass Synth from what I’ve seen.

I’m enjoying this thread too much.

It’s more like this now:

Also, you can just make adjustments via the panel and overwrite the presets using just the pedal without ever having to touch the editor. 

No better, all hail the MXR 😂😂😂

I think if you see this screen and get excited by the possibilities then the FI4 is for you

 

 

if that fills you with fear and dread - the Mxr is for you! 
 

(if that looks a bit dumbed down and simple - ignore us all and get back to your Zoia …)

Long live the MXR 😅

I came across this at the weekend.

I could spend ages picking out fx here, there’s definitely octaver use, I always felt the EHX Bassballs was a big part of the sound, a big part of the pedalboard was an old Korg G5.

With a multi you’re going to have to programme it in, picking out the sounds and effects in use. Other than that it’s well over a grand in various pedals I’d say to get the various textures going on.

I found this picture which looks simpler than his older board

But there are definitely a bunch of pedals under the Digitech Synth Wah and the Korg G5.

Yeah I’d go multi as doing it with single pedals is a lot of pedals.

Huge sound and I love Cass Lewis

Shipping and import duties will account for another sizeable chunk of the rest.

Don’t forget its ability/inability to make coffee

Well hello option with a returns policy

As a covers band player with a Zoom B3 multipedal this is the only pedal I've been tempted to buy, very tempted.  In the USA its $270, that's about £198 at today's exchange rate - but £289 everywhere in the UK.  That's a big mark up in MRP.  

That Ian Allison promo video is exceptional - he's unique! Very talented, direct and likeable.

Add your 20% vat and you get a good chunk of the way to the difference.

Is it good for metal?

Aimed primarily at the country market but I don’t see why you couldn’t fool it with a lower tuning

Yeah this one is mental, examples like “I can’t see a way when using the jack for expression that the same jack could be stereo….. what a failure, I 100% need all these features all the time.”

 

“Bought the pedal this morning, it arrived, it makes a terrible coffee, it’s going back. It’s basically ruined my life.”

 

I’m exaggerating but I’m also not 😂 it’s a pedal, useful maybe, fun sure, necessary 🤷🏻‍♂️ 

Well here’s a thing apparently

”It appears in that video that you have two options for running stereo- TRS from the main output or using the second jack.”

So you can in fact have stereo and expression.

Yeah it's mad!

 

This is a potentially stunning new piece of kit that's been 18 months in development; appears to have fab tracking for 5 string basses, has some totally usable bass synth sounds straight out of the box and a very compact form factor. Not surprising that it's making so many go weak at the wallet! 

Sure usb, midi etc. would be really nice to have - but I guess we've got something to look forward to in a Mk2 in 3-4 years time. In the meantime, is it going to give a bunch of us bass-players, who aren't also part-time keys players (and very likely have no wish to be!) a better synth sound?

 

Just maybe 😅 

They seem to have basically sold out of around 3000 units in a day.

But, if it was smaller, or just a bit bigger, or if it had midi, but not those 3.5mm ones but also not the big ones and oh I don’t like usb c on pedals, but I don’t want to carry an adaptor for b.

Anyway I’m buying one, with 0 use cases other than not needing 3-5 things to do this and have fun at soundchecks.

It arrived today. Initial impressions after ten minutes of knob twiddling and preset switching. This is good. This is very, very good. 

But does it make a good coffee?

I can see why folks might be irked by having to choose between stereo and expression. Shame they couldn’t have made the normal audio output into a TRS socket for the stereo option.

 

Compromises always have to be made somewhere; like in the C4, you can either have stereo output or an external loop function but not both. 

I don’t, I barely get enough channels to play mono live let alone stereo.

It's just another thing to buy and make room for. The solution I outlined would work better for me. 

Fair enough and I think that’s true for all the people on other forums going, why doesn’t it have usb (apparently it does inside), why can’t we share presets, connect it to a computer etc. Just buy something else, we’ve all got loads of options these days.

For me who’s been on the fence over a C4 for years because I don’t enjoy messing with my phone when playing it’s ideal.

Same sort of vibe as the controls on my Subdecay Noise Theory but simpler than the Subdecay Pixelwave.

This probably gets rid of the MXR BOD and Mojohand Filter off my board (Other than the filter is only there because it looked weird with the gap 😂) and then anything I use the Zoom MS60b/+ for.

A nice thing to have with minimal faff to play along to modern pop songs.

That's my only gripe at the moment too, I may get one to 'set and forget' for a more generic synth sound, and then use my Future Impact to able scroll through more specific sounds easily. 

You can add a small switch to cycle presets, I don’t really see the issue here.

Aw thanks! I really appreciate that. 

DM me the address for the DCX and I’ll get it out this week, you can have it until someone buys it 😂

Bass Synth I’ll update you on when I know more.
