Sounds awesome! It's a lot of money to spend but it seems to offer a lot of cool options, I'm quite enjoying all my basses being completely passive at the moment though 😂

If anything watching this made me want to buy a lusit hand NFP onboard preamp more 😂

That sounds pretty awesome. I gotta admit though anytime I hear a drive made by anyone other than Electronic Audio Experiments I'm a little underwhelmed. I'm not sure why, I could just be a big fanboy, there's something about their pedals which I'm too technically illiterate to describe or its more about the demos. Definitely a solid flexible drive to put on your board, if you could only have one filth pedal it sounds like a good candidate.

Makes sense although if the other bands on the bill are all using their traditional full stacks it still presents a logistical challenge for FOH and change overs etc. My pedal board is fully kitted out for an amp-less setup and have done it in the past with sound straight through wedges. I'd certainly give it a go but I know for a fact the rest of the band would have zero interest.

I think the kind of music you play will have a big influence on it. Playing in a noisy punk band, the bands on the lineup are on a scale of pretty loud to obnoxiously loud. Don't think I've ever seen anyone with a full IEM setup on any of the gigs, closest was a band using the for vocal harmonies but they were still standing in front of Marshal stacks.

Ahhhh man I love Justin Chancellors bass tone almost as much as spending money I don't have so this is perfect 🙌

Still on the fence a little between the GT1000core and Mod Dwarf but 75% in favour of the Dwarf currently. Will have to see where I'm at on payday though. Been checking out lots of older videos and some of the synth and glitchy weird ambient stuff you can do is absolutely incredible, certainly stuff you could never achieve on the Core. Just shame there isn't more content out there about it or samples on Soundcloud etc.

Absolutely! I only daisy chain the drives and preamps which handle it noise free.

Oooo really? That's interesting! Well I still want a bigger supply so I'm less dependent on daisy chaining but good to know I don't have to rush to grab one.

I think its 12v 1A minimum so it'd need two outlets on the cioks which puts out 500ma per outlet at 12v. I've already got 7-8 pedals connected using some daisy chaining 😂 Tbf I'd consider loosing a drive looper, and the compressor if I could replace them with a digital version. The Capo, Model FeT, Thumpinator and Halberd/Longsword are the essential pedals and they all do fine on a daisy chain with out any noticeable noise.

I think the cioks needs a 24v supply but could work.

Sorry for derailing into Jad Freer fanboyism.

I'd love to try the Sisma, if it's as good as the Capo then it's gonna be one hell of an amp. As it stands I'm very happy with my Capo and Handbox valve head, if i was going to get a solid state (and could afford it) it'd be that though I think. @foya have you tried the Capo? Someone wrote a pretty in-depth review on talkbass which was very favourable.

Just stumbled on this via a colleague, absolutely fantastic album.

Sorry thought I'd replied! Yeah saw and signed up to the forum to have a dig around. Still very intrigued by the Dwarf so popped a thread there to see if anyone else had similar reservations - https://forum.mod.audio/t/on-the-dwarf-fence-concerned-about-i-o/9750 I'm still really torn between the GT1000core and Dwarf. I feel like I could probably do a lot of the stuff I want with the Core, do some cool split delays blending LPF bitcrusher type fx in there and stuff to create stuff similar to the Mastro Valvola LEM etc. It'd fulfill all my IR and reverb needs for guitar perfectly too albeit with a fairly middle of the road fx offering. The Dwarf seems pretty limitless in comparison, all the routing options and a huge array of modules to pick from. It just doesn't integrate with my real world pedals as well, the higher power draw would mean me upgrading my powersupply from a Cioks 4 to a DC7 or similar too. First world problems 😂

The GT1000core for example is so tightly packed with I/O already that an XLR out would likely mean sacrificing and FX loop or other connection options. I imagine for most the XLR is a little redundant. If you have a half decent dedicated DI box it's probably better than the built in ones. TBH I've never played a gig where FOH haven't used their own beat up DI box instead of the one on my board so tbh my fancy DI is largely meaningless anyway outside of home use 😂

I like the nerdy side of the Dwarf and the open source nature, it's also nice to support the underdog. One extra fx loop and I'd be jumping at it without questioning I think. How many AIDA-X instances can you run simultaneously? I'd certainly be interested in how well it works in practice, there is a lot of nuance in how the pedals interact that I can't quite imagine a model could reproduce. I guess if it's close enough that you can't really tell then who cares though!

Yeah that's the dream. I know bassdirect have them listed as in stock and a bit cheaper than Thomman, they should also accept a 30 day refund etc although not sure how easy it is to deal with them as I've heard a few folks who've had issues. It's a really tough one though because for experimentation having those pedals in the loop of the GT1000core that I can quickly adjust on the fly would be super useful vs having a model of it which is locked down to a specific snapshot of it. Conversely having models means that I can quickly jump between bass and guitar without having to constantly try to re-dial in settings. Gonna have a think on it today.

The other option of course is that the Mod Dwarf does such a good job of capturing the analog fx and Capo preamp that I don't need to worry about them at all and for live, the CAPO just becomes a DI box and I leave all the other expensive pedals at home. That's not an option with the GT1000 because I know for a fact the drives and preamps included just don't cut it for the sounds I'm trying to get.

As a point of comparison this is what I'd do with the GT given the Stereo output and 2x FX Loops. It's kind of like sandwiching the GT1000core with the CAPO I/O so that you still get the unaffected pre di signal and the affected post di signal. Then you're treating the CAPO preamp section kind of as if you might wire up an amp using 4CM. Ultimately this means in the GT1000core you would have the analog fx in Loop 1 and the CAPO preamp section in Loop 2. On the Main output your Left signal would go to the amp while the Right would feed back in to the CAPO return and to the Post DI, that way you could apply cabsims to the R side only so that it didn't go to your amp.

Quick mockup while on a call at work 😂 This is how I think it'd be connected up. It means the signal goes in to the CAPO and I get a completely clean pre DI signal, from there out of the first fx loop and into my analog drives then the first input of the Dwarf. So I can pop FX after the drive pedals but not before (I guess having the Dwarf fx might be better for compression and octave etc). Then it'd hit the Capo Preamp. Then back off out to the Dwarf for any post fx before returning to the CAPO for the post DI signal.
