Not arguing with that at all, I’ve captured most of my stuff at a variety of settings to get the widest range of useful captures. Again not questioning the quality of the model, purely pointing out that Id expect a capture to have at least some breakup when pushed. Possibly depends on what input signal was used to train it I guess though.

Yeah, I wasn't implying model vs capture was better or even that the SVT on the Anagram was lacking. I’ve heard that the SVT and GK had infinite headroom and couldn't be made to break up, people have also said they've boosted the signal to push the models to break up and get some saturation. Just curious which is true. I’ve not heard a single comment implying the models sound bad though so they've got that bit nailed 👌

Although tbf you'd expect a capture to respond much more like the real thing when you push the input in most cases.

This is the onboard model of the SVT, same with the GK. It could just be a capture under the hood though I suppose.

I think what they were saying though is that the model has infinite headroom so no matter how much you push the input it will just get louder until digital clipping which isn't fun. Are you sure its the SVT that is getting creamy or is it the overdrive? Not meaning to be pedantic, just genuinely curious as I do tend to like a little more grit!

It'd be interesting to hear how you get on with overdriving the SVT, the post I read was that the model didn't distort like the real amp and just clipped.

Very excited to hear your thoughts. I'm pretty confident ill be switching from the QC to the anagram, mostly for the smaller footprint. It'd be interesting to hear how you find the capture process if you do delve in. I'm really not a fan of DG drives and was pretty underwhelmed at how few captures are available on tone3000. I’ve been spoilt by the Cortex Cloud and almost always being able to find captures of the thing I want or at least something very similar.

I'm still flip-flopping between a pedalboard and a processor-stand/pedalboard fusion. Both sound largely the same, both have their own perks. I do need to pick which I wanna keep though and sell the other, the shelf of shame is getting pretty full!

Good shout, I'll take a look! Thank you!

I’ve got a modified Schecter p bass which sounds incredible, however ive just come to terms with the fact I like jazz necks better. It’s a shame because its a beautiful slim neck profile, reinforced with graphite rods etc. Tempted to try a cheep one however no body makes any with the right square heel shape. Would need quite a bit of adjusting. Not to mention loosing the heel adjustment.

Yeah literally plugged the usb into my phone and hit record on the native camera app, didn't even need to change any settings!

Game changer, realised I can just plug the Katana GO straight I to my phone to record little ideas straight onto my iphone via the native camera app 🙌 Its so much easier than booting up logic and connecting everything up.

Cool will have to give it a go. I'm sure I can get a little template set up in logic with all the correct routing etc and see how it compares.

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 🤣
