Hey bud. Yes I’ve played a good amount. I roll off the highs to 10 o’clock, mids set at either round 800hz or 250-400hz at 1 o’clock, bass boosted a tad if room doesn’t get boomy. Amber contour which boosts the mids between 150-200 and cuts highs from 800hz set to 9-12. you are definitely right about playing with what you have.

Appreciate the explanation. I was thinking of getting a compressor anyway. The cali compressor is pricey lol. There are two versions v1 and v2. Would both versions achieve the same thing? down the rabbit hole to look for different warm compressors and demos.

Oh I would have never have thought. I’m new to pedals. I’ll have to look at the recommended. how does a warm compressor differ in effect compared to a low gain overdrive?

I’ll have to check this out. In which way would you say it’s coloured?

I want to warm up the tone of my genzler Magellan rig. It’s the 350 head so doesn’t have the drive channel like the Magellan 800. I just love warm, responsive, creamy tone that’s responsive to fingerstyle playing. Say in a solo environment or in a more forward role in a band. For example of role. Paul Jackson when he played with the headhunters with herbie. So in the jazz, fusion, rnb, Latin realm. Nothings rock or hardcore. I don’t play that kind of music.

oh this is interesting. What pedals have you tried and how does the rat differ?

I’ve seen the tc electronic pedal near me. The videos on YouTube show the hard overdriven tone which is not what I’m after tbh. More Motown, very subtle warmth. Would you say it’s capable?

It’s gone lol. Just like the genzler 4 on the floor when I go to look for one they just have been sold 🤣🤣🙈

Cheers for the quick response. I’ll check it out. The amount of pedals out on the market makes my brain short circuit lol

Hey peeps, I recently bought the genzler Magellan 350 combo. Really really like the kit. I would love to add a little tube like warmth to the sound. I play a pbass ash with maple fretboard. Style of music ranges from soul, funk to jazz. I only play fingerstyle. jeff genzler suggested the genzler 4 on the floor pedal which has gotten great reviews. New they are like 200 (out of my price range) so I put a wanted post on the pedal but no luck as yet. I’m looking for possible alternatives to add some creamy low gain warmth. Something that all always be on. I suffer from analysis paralysis lol. Not really a pedal person at all. I’ve got a ditto x2 looper on the way which I’ll use with it. Possibly a tuner and a compressor. suggestions?

I opted for the ditto x2 should be with me this week. Having stereo gives the option of put another instrument in. Looking to having fun with this.

😳 you jammy bugger. congrats! I wish manny was closer to London. I would invite myself over and would bring my famous curry so I could try a bb lol.

how funky is this groove? Man why wasn’t I a teen in the 80’s🙄. 2000 Neo soul shaped my ear

Lol don’t you find that when you start learning a new phrase then leave it for a while it makes much more sense and feels natural? I didn’t know about the nux or valetron. I’ll look into it.

Appreciate you sharing. I’ve watched loads of videos and guides and the boss pedals. It just made my head short circuit. It’s going to be one of the dittos. So in many ways your observation on boss is what I saw. I like less options please lol. The reasons you like loopers is the exact reason I want one. I’ve not come across a looper with a headphone out. I’m looking at the ditto+, ditto x2 (for the two buttons) and ditto stereo.
