I've tried alot of synth pedals over the years and the best is the source audio c4, in my opinion. Can't say it will do that particular sound but I'm sure it will. To be honest though, in my experiemce most pedals are a glitchy mess unless you're being very particular with what notes you play and how you play them. I'm a reasonably clean player and I've never really been comfortable with any of the pedals ive had in a live setting for this very reason!

I agree. I'd just get a footswitch. No power required and would do everything your tuner would do. this is mine. It's a footswitch built by a mate, but any old footswitch would do the job. Not sure if what you want to do is possible but the stomp has quite a specific connector which might make it more complicated/expensive if it is possible.

Dealing with feedback with an uncompromising drummer
Elfrasho replied to geoham's topic in General Discussion
Can't say I've ever seen a pub band with a drum screen. It might do the job but in all honesty, I'd be loathed to carry about an extra bit if kit purely because the drummer chooses to play loud. The easy answer is he needs to stop hitting hard. Hitting hard diesnt make him "rock" harder. If he's as good as you say then he needs to moderate his sound as its clearly having a direct negative impact on the overall sound. It boggles my brain how certain musicians have this opinion. If you ever have punters point this out, make sure he's in ear range. -
The best Formal, and Informal, musical lesson of your life?

Alexis Sklarevski the slap bass program vhs. Showed me how to slap when I was 14. Still probably at the same level 28 years later! -
Dirt before, chorus delays reverb after. Generally speaking. Live use would be different as most pre amp pedals double up as your DI so it will sit at the end of the chain. When I've only got one comp I'd stick it first in the chain. Just enough to even out the output from the bass. As others have said.. there's no right or wrong. If it sounds good it's good. If it sounds bad it's bad.

I'm sure it has its uses, but yikes, that is incredibly glitchy. Too glitchy to be used as a bass octaver IMO! Looks cool though!

Worst Live Act (Pushing it a bit too far)

Not seen this live but Jon bon Jovi's recent attempts at singing is quite depressing! -
Decent wee cover! 👌

external is roughly 30cmx20cmx9cm. Its not for the same printer therefore not exactly ther same, but this is something very similiar: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Carrying-Storage-Portable-Printer-co2CREA/dp/B07FPB1X1W/ref=asc_df_B07FPB1X1W/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=696285193871&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17738099809167818398&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9046913&hvtargid=pla-2281435178578&mcid=18bc5fea04ac3bf4a0937c878f9bdebe&hvocijid=17738099809167818398-B07FPB1X1W-&hvexpln=74&gad_source=1&th=1

The board is a bit of wooden flooring cut down to size, with some anti slip feet stuck to the bottom and the velcro used to attach the pedals! The case is a portable printer case found in amazon after days of searching! There's so many cases out there for other things than can be repurposed! This one's discontinued it seams. I waa very specific on the dimensions as this fits perfectly into the pouch of my Protection Racket bass case.

Thought I'd post this here too since i photo'd it for a different thread on basschat this evening! Can't mind if I've posted it before.

This will almost certainly sound very good. But, if you're used to the control you get on things like helix's or cortex's or even the zoom stuff, you'll probably be quite frustrated. But at that price, it will sell by the gazzilion and youtubers will make it sound tremendous.

I put a light comp at the start of my chain and a light one at the end, within my HX stomp. Feels pretty nice whilst taming everything in between!

this is it.

Hx stomp. Currently I use it with a passive DI box straight into FOH, however I'm probably going to start just using a jack to XLR cable. the DI box is really not required. I currently have it on a micro board with a 2 pedal footswitch which to be honest is abit overkill for my use on bass. I tend to stick to one patch. nice clean amp sim, switch 1 octaver, switch 2 filter, switch 3 scooped EQ for slapping. On the footswitch, one is tuner, the other changes to whatever i feel like. It doubles up as my home guitar rig, so its pretty much a no brainer. all is velcroed onto a small board, that slides into the front pouchg of my bass case. can't really beat it.

For a bit of fun? -
Most of my gigs currently I drive to so firing another bass in the boot makes very little difference to me so I do it. Especially wedding/function gigs. If space or travel is an issue then I'm comfortable taking one bass but i do take doubles for evertyhing else, so if any other part of my signal breaks, I've got options. Including strap... I've had a strap fail. Back in the day though I played some pretty big gigs with one bass (and probably no spare strings), with zero issues. The spare sits in its case though, I dont set it up on a stand on stage. If something goes wrong, I'm pretty comfortable that I could get the bass out and ready to play by the start of the next tune!

Nothing too fancy. #1 yamaha bbg4s - first decent bass I got as a Christmas pressie when I was 15. Modded it then sold it but I did end up buying another one in the same colour a few years ago for a bit of nostalgia #2 fender aerodyne jazz in candy apple Red. Bought the mid 20s and played it for 12 years almost entirely exclusively. I uses this during my best "originals" period of my life appearing on almost all my bands recordings. Sold it which i do regret. #3 yamaha bb734... bought this a few years ago and love it. Hopefully I have no reason to change and it is my automatic go to for everything. I've had many many other basses but I think these are the ones that will always come to mind when I think back!

As Sam says, HX stomp can do it, including frequency split. I dont have experience of the latest budget versions of multi FX but the previous generations wont do what you want as far as i know. Even the HX stomp is limited to the split as theres only 8 fx blocks and limited dsp, depending on what you want to do. I think stomps go for 300-350 second hand. I'm sure others will chime in saying how great signal splitting is, but from my experience it's really not worth the time, effort and additional complication unless you already have effects you want to use that don't translate well to bass straight through. If you';ve not already got the pedals then get the stomp, or dont bother IMO! multi band compressors and blendable FX will do a grand job, and I'm sure the new cheapo multifx will have all that kind of stuff built in and probably sound great

Have you ever paid to play a gig?
Elfrasho replied to hiram.k.hackenbacker's topic in General Discussion
Weird. Invoice could've been paid in cash surely. Write up the invoice. Keep the cash. Move on. -
If i was doing my PC set up again, I'd get another one of these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255349193203?chn=ps&_ul=GB&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-166974-033325-9&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=255349193203&targetid=2315464899086&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9191485&poi=&campaignid=20577890846&mkgroupid=165388023833&rlsatarget=pla-2315464899086&abcId=9322158&merchantid=113745596&geoid=9191485&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwi5q3BhCiARIsAJCfuZkw7zgZWtO0o0M1Ih-0fcB-f-60K5twDhkebvt9JLqn315KTi3vTr0aAssfEALw_wcB I've got one in my living room and its lovely and has multiple inputs including bluetooth so it can be used multiple ways. Connect it up by USB to get use of the DAC and It also gives you hands on EQ to tweak to the room and/or the tune. Pretty certain these get heavy discounts from time to time too. I'd then pair it up with some 2nd hand passive hifi speaker, which can be had for less than £50 easily if you look about. Ok, theres more cabling involved, but for me, this would sound infitely better with much more uses than just getting a couple of active speakers - I've got the mackie CR3s currently which are in your budget and they just sound so lifeless. In fact, I might look into upgrading after writing this!

Looks wonderful! Always love to see a bass getting some life brought back into it!

Dead easy. Although dependent on what you want from it, you might struggle with DSP. For example i dont beleive you can have two 2048 IRs simultaneously. you can have 2 1024 IRs though. As others pointed out, theres no XLR outputs but the jack outs are balanced/unbalanced so you can just get the relevant cable adapter, or what I do, just have a DI box to hand. I used to think the lack of XLR outs on multieffects was a deal breaker, it really isnt. Don't get me wrong, the full size Helix's are pretty immense, but they are pretty big and actuallyt quite heavy.. the stomp literally fits in the front pouch of my case and will do everything you want, as long as your realistic with your ambitions!

My band use hx pedals for guitar and bass so we juat split at that stage. We then use 3 of these.. rackmounted. In hindsight probably should've went for the behringer thing as above but things weren't originally rqckmiunted so these made sense. They are awesome though and probably would be handy to have around anyway!

Extreme. Pormograffiti is almost a perfect album other than the wee Shitey midi file sounding piano ballad fired right in the middle of it. Utter guff!
