Anyone tried creating a NAM profile? I’ve done AIDA-X captures in the past and it was a real pain with reamp boxes and trying to sync audio signals to offset latency etc. I dont need on-device capturing but an easy workflow is a deal breaker for me. Will have to have a go if I get a mo.

Awesome!!! 🤘🤘🤘

If you want a smaller footprint, you're a fan of Darkglass pedals, and you don't mind having a single FX loop and fewer switches, it has the potential to be a pretty compelling alternative. If Darkglass can broaden the range of amps and effects, get Bluetooth working and maybe provide a user-friendly capture method, it would be an easy sell for bassists. I'm glad it's here as it might get Neural to up their game a little. It's a cool-looking unit with a bunch of potential but I'd suggest hanging around and seeing what it looks like after the next patch or two.

Always kinda fancied a Pharaoh, how are they for bass?

I'm looking forward to hearing peoples thoughts. Its cool unit which I'd probably be more excited about if it had more non-DG effects which I typically don't get on with. I'm particularly interested how people find the interface, some of the demos make it look a little faffy. I know I'd get annoyed with the controls being above the screen so you're constantly covering it when you're making amends. I'm gonna sit on the sidelines patiently and see if they expand their suite of drives and fx further. I'd also love to see them create a workflow that makes the capture process easier. I've made AIDA-X profiles of pedals and found the process extremely trial and error. I like ve how easy it is to capture on the QC. If you can use the FX loop and desktop software to capture and it can take care of accounting for any latency etc automatically itd be a big win.

Wow that orange is excellent!!!

Ooooft the green with black hardware is succulent. Still prefer a non painted neck but could let that slide. The 73x inlays are excellent. Love the look.

Oooo I like that. I regret selling my 734A, such a great bass. I’m glad I’m back in the Yamaha club now I’ve got a 1024x.

Whats the heaviest gauge you can use on a 1024x without adjusting the nut? I believe it has 45-105 on now, was considering some 50-110 for CGCF tuning.

The Traynor TSb inspired preamps such as the Rusty Box, Cosmic Trigger and the 0xEAE Bass Driver (my current favourite thing) all have a very distinctive clank. I had a Master Effects Super 800+ which absolutely nailed the GK 800rb tone. Other preamps ive tried like the SLO sounded great but less distinct.

John said he's planning to potentially re-release the circuit in a standard enclosure at some point in the future. Its very impractical 🤣

Recorded a little run through with the new 0xEAE Bass Driver along with some other favourites. There's no structure, just me faffing around. Really digging the Accountant, 0xEAE Bass Driver and Opus which are all new additions.

I knew you could change the loop order but can you also do parallel routing with the ML10x? 👀 UPDATE: did some reading and you can split and merge on the ML10x but not the ML5R

Ahhh I know, I wanna put together a 2.1 or 2.2 board but love the patch bay. Was tempted to get the dremel out and try to cut a hole for it myself 🤣

Its great so far, very similar to a Rusty Box given the same inspirations. I'm using it for low gain clank, I'm then using the Science Mother like 2 channels into it. Its a beast of a pedal, waaaay more versatile than the 0xEAE Fuzz. I love everything John and EAE put out though so its kind of a given that I love it 🤣 They said they'd they might look at putting the same circuits in different enclosures in future. If I had to fault it, it'd be the completely impractical size of the pedal but it looks like a magnificent obelisk of doom so its easy to forgive.

It's that time again 👌 Going to use the new 0xEAE Bass Driver as a preamp, much like the Rusty Box. Currently playing with the Mother in front but really like how it takes the Dagger and Black Math too. Going to start popping it on the board now Im pretty happy with the order. Its extremely clanky in here. UPDATE Had a little more time than expected so I got it all wired up. Think it'll stay like this for the foreseeable until I've had chance to experiment with upcoming musical endeavours and maybe I’ll downsize to essentials. Heres and undercarriage shot for anyone into that: Not the neatest but passable 👌

Oooo always wanted to try out the COG stuff 👀

Incoming EAE 0xEAE Bass Driver Very hyped for this one, clanky Traynor inspired drive. Was already in the market for a Rusty Box or similar so this was a no brainer.

I got given a yamaha gig bag with my BB734a and its excellent 👌 I use it for everything.

BB1024x is here and I love it, head off on holiday tomorrow night so barely get any time to get stuck in but from the few noodles it seems like a keeper👌 I was worried about the neck profile but its nice, noticeably more chunky than my other basses but super comfy.

Grabbed another HX One, I sold the last when I decided to get the Quad Cortex. I really love the form factor of these and they’re great to bring some fun to the table. I think ive pretty much narrowed down my shortlist of pedals for a smaller board to: Canvas Tuner > The Accountant > HX One > Science Mother > Two Notes Opus I may need a bigger board to add the Black Math or Longsword for extra dirt but I think this might just do the trick for now 👌

Feeling saucy so think I‘ll grab that 1024x. Always had a soft spot for them, particularly the laminate necks. The finish isn't my first choice but at least I could scratch the itch!
