Hi...
Although I have been playing Bass for 25 years, I have only been regularly using effects for a few years, since playing in my covers band.
I bought an old Zoom BFX708 to experiment with about five years ago.
Although the unit does pretty much everything I need it to, it can sound a little muddy at times and I would like to replace it with something newer... but what?
I only want to use it for gigging, so don't need USB, etc.
I don't 'need' amp simulation as I am happy with the clean sound of my Status/Trace set-up.
The effects I use are:
Overdrive.
Chorus.
Wah.
Octave.
Fuzz/Ring mod.
(All in moderation and obviously not at the same time!)
I have tried (bought and then sold)....
Line6 Bass XT live and didn't like the Wah or the Octave tracking.
Boss GT6b and didn't like the Wah.
Zoom B2.1u and don't like the fact that you cannot name the patches.
I just always end up reverting back to my Zoom 708.
I have also toyed with seperate pedals, but like the ease of a multi!
(Although I do use a Digitech BSW with my fretless on one song).
So what is left to try... Any suggestions?
