I’ve gigged it for a couple of weeks now on its own. It’s excellent. Even in its current form, although I do wish midi functionality had been sorted at launch. I much prefer the interface and sounds (for bass) compared to QC and stomp…. Like I’ve said before I’m absolutely aware you can dial in great sounds for both as I’ve had both but I just don’t want to sit and tinker. I’m going to dive into the NAM side of things next and see how that goes as the ones that are in the anagram as standard sound very good

It doesn’t have that thing where you load up a block and wonder what on earth they were thinking… if that makes sense.

Ok so first thoughts, much easier to get really good sounds for bass than the HX or QC… not suggesting you couldn’t get things to sound as good if you really dialled it in. The typical sticking points such as filters and octaves are honestly great… I’m taking my octave off the board for the first time. I’m not a heavy/typical DG user (last DG thing I had was a vintage microbes) and very much like the sound of the Noble, fender and Ampeg sounds in here. I will concede putting a vintage microtubes as a light drive and using the A/O or X as a ridiculous OOT drive is very fun. The crunch factory preset where they have used a pedal from the NAM loader is very promising and need to look into these more. Ive just scratched the surface here but this is the best first impression I’ve had of a modeller…. I’ll report bag after a few gigs this week.

Yea I’d have guessed the case would be an optional extra but it’s nice to have. Especially since this may be the first unit I could see not needing other pedals with therefore not need an actual board

Bought one too, just arrived

Looks/sounds great. Nice to hear octaves/filters from a multi fx that sound good. May try this in place of the stomp
