Marshall VBA400 and the GK700rb (would likely be an 800rb but never had the chance). I have no idea what the last one would be tbh. Never cared for the Ampeg stuff for me but love how it sounds with other people and it doesn’t get much more iconic so probably and SVT.

It’s definitely pretty capable of some filth! 😂

Another week, another pedalboard. Really loving the SLO, I loved the Capo but ultimately I think I just love the gooey valve thing too much. Doing lots of testing with the SLO and Capo with other pedals to help decide which stays has reminded me how much I also love the Halberd, Dagger and the brutal 0xEAE Fuzz. Next up is probably to grab a Cali76 after I’ve sold some stuff. Maybe some day I’ll crack on with actually making some music and stop fiddling.

I like B once you get to around 3 o'clock though and then you get into EAE Dagger territory, 11-3 though seems like a slightly awkward area for bass. That being said, B takes other drives really well when I've played with it.

I grabbed the Mother and really like it, having a bit of a dilemma as I now have the Mother, Model feT, Capo and soon the SLO mk3. I can’t keep them all so I need to either return the Mother or sell the Capo or SLO 😭 I really love the depth and absence controls on the Mother though. Jury is still out on the B channel, amazing on guitar but I do struggle to dial it in just how I want on bass a little.

It’s pretty accurate too!

I’m not going to pretend I really understand most of that but it sounds like it’s excellent 😂

Sounds great, I’d happily pop those pickups and that preamp in my Jazz! Impressive work 🙌

It’s really cool actually, a really nice addition, especially for small boards where a full Stomp is over kill and you just want a little extra flexibility. I’m always torn, I love a board this compact but I always end up scaling up after a week at which point I may as well pop the GT1000core back on.

Tiny board, monstrous tones.

Yeah, I take that back, I think it was a combination of preamps, cab sims/LPFs and other stuff that made it harder to hear the difference. Looking forward to trying to get a demo together where I can dig a little deeper rather than just playing around.

Haven’t had chance to record any demos yet, it’s been far too hectic here. Can’t stop playing it though, sounds incredible. I’m not sure how much of that sound is due to the multicoil design or just the high build quality but whatever it is works. The preamp is great too, the filters give a ton of flexibility. One thing I’ve noticed is that there no/little audible difference until you hit around 50% of the filters. Not sure if that’s more to do with my setup or if it’s something others have noticed with the NPF Special? EDIT: just tried the controls bypassed and the filters are far more noticeable without other EQ in the signal chain etc. Ive mostly been playing into the Katana GO or into a combination of the JF Capo, EAE Mother and EAE Model feT and it’s sounded great no matter what. Last night though I was having a play direct to the interface without any preamps, comps or IRs etc and it completely blew me away. I will post a video demo at some point when I get time but currently I’m just having too much fun noodling!

Cheers! Helped that my dad is a luthier so I had access to all the knowledge and tools.

That’d be this bass I built when I was 16. 16 year old me had very different aesthetic preferences than 36 year old me. It’s also the heaviest bass I’ve ever played 😂

I just leap on to my pedalboard and hope for the best.

Same here! Gutted 😞

Yeah I just plugged mine in for a quick 5 mins on my lunch break in the garden, got carried away and now have no time for lunch 😂 It really does sound great. Managed to play around a little more and get a decent enough driven tone too.

Had 20 mins with it, first impressions on bass were a little less exciting flipping through presets but as soon as I created a patch from scratch it took very little time to get something good in place. Quite like the Vintage amp, didn’t really dig into the fx much but the comps are great. EQ blocks are pretty similar to the GT1000 so just mimicked my settings there. Drives sounded a little buzzy but drives always need tweaking a fair bit I’ve found, some more EQ should help. One thing that seems odd is that the collection of drives on Bass mode seems to be really restricted, no RAT and it’s missing some other really good drives I’d want to try out. It’s clearly designed with the strat style front mounted jacks in mind, all my basses and guitars have output jacks on the side so the GO doesn’t really stay in position that well. Overall though sounds great, well beyond what I expected. If you’re after a handy practice tool this really is incredible.

It arrived today! Literally had 60 seconds on it, just plugged it into the guitar I had nearby and blown away by the quality. I was expecting it to feel pretty harsh and lacking depth but it sounds remarkably good. Looking forward to getting some bass tones in for when the child falls asleep in the car and I need to keep an eye on her and all the other situations where I fancy a noodle but can’t.

Yeah I cancelled with thomann as they said they had no eta, hate grabbing stuff Amazon but it’s the only place with stock. Should be here tomorrow 🙌 I've got the GT1000core so intrigued how much they managed to squeeze in to the GO.

I’d definitely welcome visitors on my pedalboard if there are any pedals out there who want a place to stay 🙌
