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.

lol. I have naturally good timing and a good early. Shredding like a king… wasn’t gifted with that. I try to say it’s cos I at a think pbass neck but I’m only kidding myself lol.

Ive literally put out a wanted post for the genzler 4 on the floor. I think it will complement my genzler Magellan 350 combo. I want a tad more warmth. I’ve heard great things about it. Just the waiting game 🙄

Who needs an internal metronome when you can shred like a king lol. good points tbh. Cheers for advice

Cheers for the input. Noob question but how do you find the visual loop indicator better compared paired to say the basic ditto?

Hey peeps, looking to get a looper and my analysis paralysis syndrome is kicking in. Has anyone used the ditto, ditto+, ditto x2 or boss rc5? If so how do they compare. I want the looper from creating ideas and practising. Not bought one before and I really think a looper will suit my creativity. The ditto+ seems cool as you can loads drums on the device and also save them. I like the idea of the ditto x2 with the two button for stop and start. Never used one so would love some input. cheers

nice. Now you are free to from paralysis lol. Enjoy bud!!

Oh I’ve heard such great things about the elf amp.

I’ve just bought a genzler Magellan 350 combo. It’s a separate head and a 10” array speaker. They are connected with a mount. Extremely compact and the tone is killer. As I see you have used genzler so you know the tone and quality

Hey bud, congrats on the journey of learning a instrument. I started with an inexpensive squier p bass. As when I was younger and broke my left wrist (fretting hand) I took my bass to get professionally setup at the bass gallery in London. My combo I think was a stagg. When I decided I wanted to commit more due to feeling improvement I was asking myself the exact same question. I went down the bass upgrade route but in all honesty I should have got a better amp/cab or combo. I say this as my old bass sounds great with my genzler Magellan combo. The crappy combo had probably been over pushed and exhausted the speakers. A proper setup makes a world of difference on how the bass plays and sounds. I would suggest either learn to setup your bass (it’s not hard at all) or go and get it setup. You can pick up a decent combo, cab & amp for such great prices on here. The used market is your friend. Also a change of string makes a drastic difference also.

hey bud. Cheers for responding and the advise. have been playing it all day. I found ways to hear that warmth in either blue contour or amber. With amber I had contour at around 2 o’clock, bass boosted a tad and treble rolled off at 11 o’clock. blue (which I really like in my place) contour around 10’clock, boost the mids a tad with sweep at 2 o’clock and reduce the treble a tad. my tone knob on bass is nearly closed. more to learn. My ocd would like to know where 250,500 and 800hz is in the mids sweepable frequency lol. def let me know when you are next playing and I’ll come support.

Lol oh. I played the eich t500 at the bass gallery last year. Sounded nice. If I remember correctly the eich has a similar feature of genzler contour.

He does. He even replied to me on talk bass. You sold me on the sound tone hammer and barefaced one10. Just couldn’t find a place to hear it.

That’s a very good point. The abm evo has a warm woolly tone but is articulate. They are extremely different. I can definitely see this amp would help in a band situation. Need more time to play with it. What did you move on to after the Magellan?

Mate I was amazed how articulate my bass was. I put in a @KiOgon loom kit in and some Bart’s. Ive still the original pickups and some roundwounds so I’ll be interested to see how the sound changes. How did you go about achieving more warmth? I notice the treble doesn’t help much with my pbass with flats. It adds or takes away clank noise.
