  1. I’d love this but after digging about down the back of the sofa just a few ££££ short 😀
  2. Some of the captures/ models built in and a heap of captures from users on the cortex cloud. Same goes for IRs. You can upload your favs and save them/use them on the device
  3. Here’s a list of the bass specific built in gear. There’s a Loveyone Meatball filter too and some nice reverbs There are of course heaps of guitar specific drives, amps and cabs you can experiment with as well!
  4. Yup 🤩
  5. Hey folks! The smaller footprint high quality modeller from Neural DSP. Got this from my guitarist who decided to go for a HX Stomp (he liked the screen). I’ve been playing around with this at home and on some gigs and as a fly rig it’s ideally suited to the gigging bassist needs. I’d set it up with a 4 gigging tones all based on classic amp models and captures from clean to dirty and the ability to add eq, compression, drive and effects as well as the latest version 2 captures all sounding even better than the initial set of bass presets which already sounded great. The app interface is quite straightforward and very easy to navigate and it’s super easy to use. Very conflicted but can’t keep this one I’m afraid. I’d been powering it from the USB C off my pedal board power brick but also from a 9v 500mA out and as you can see in the pic a usb power bank too. Very handy! Make no mistake this is a cracking unit which a huge amount of bass players would get lots of fun out of live especially if you gravitate a to 3-4 sounds on a gig. I’d been using it for IEM and direct to desk/FOH and taking a second out with no cab IR to my amp. Worked flawlessly. As this is a unit which can capture you can do this at home or download from the cloud so a heap of options already available to experiment with. Price includes uk shipping only. More pictures upon request and unit comes boxed.
  6. Been using my guitarist NC as he’s gone for a different effects unit. I’ve been impressed and this that it’s a wonderful choice for bass players. 4 presets is sufficient for many of us! I’ve not looked too deeply but there is a way to add a midi switcher and turn on or off individual fx too. Solid wee unit!

    Darkglass Anagram

    It’s probably too new. Most of the deal might be free psu or brand carry bag type things.
  8. Put sold in the title and it will lock out the ad 👍🏼
  9. Checked out our very own @Dood review of this and it does sound wonderful. The single coil (P bass) tone and the neck on its own was great but the both pick ups on sound was very pleasing too. I wish I had ample trade fodder!

    I think you can hook up a morning star midi device and access more preset sets but that another cost.
  11. How’s that super sound. Is it transformer based like some of their drive units?
  12. You know we all wanna see it 😀
  13. First class. Maybe I’ll have to get one in the next wave. Borrowing my guitarists Nano Cortex tonight for the first set and have a couple of sounds loaded one being B15 capture. Ideally I’d shift some pedlas and things first! It does sound big and warm from the demos and a bit of a mix filler in a good way.
  14. Any ‘real world’ feedback from gigs and that now the pedal has been in the hands of players for a wee bit?

    Neural Quad Cortex

    yeah had a look but nothing came up when I filtered for bass and cabs

    Neural Quad Cortex

    I’m borrowing my guitar player’s nano cortex. Where do I find the bass IR’s - did a search on the NDSP guys but not seeing bass cab ir’s. It’s showing me everything else. I entirely blame user error on this I have updated the app etc. Any guidance appreciated.
  17. What’s the weight Richard? Greetings from Scotland and I hope you’re well.
  18. Empire Music who commissioned these run of basses had a 58’ pick up custom wound so that’s where the 58 in the title comes from. The travel sheet listed those features which were custom requests.
  19. Can they be trusted 😀
  20. I’d imagine it would translate quite well. I can hear a difference running just my amp versus running my pedal board into my amp. Same way my amp Di is adequate- I never use it but had to recently as my tube pre amp wasn’t giving any sound (turned out it was a simple fix but the amp DI did the job in a pinch). Did it sound ok for the gig yes but it’s wasn’t as enjoyable a sound. I could defo he’s the difference in my IEM’s This same question gets asked a lot on forums and there’s been some great demos showing how a pedal can sound like another pedal but I believe Origin are going for more of an experience in both feel and tone. It might not be important to folk for a pedal to feel like an amp if it’s nearly £500 but it’s exciting that we have a recreation of a classic amp that folks are describing as nailing the tone and feel. Does a 5k bass vintage bass sound better than a £400 bass? Does it feel better to play versus the £400 bass? Not everyone cares for these things but it’s nice when we can feel and hear a difference and that can push something form desirable to must have fall in love at the first play. If a £99 pedal can do 80% great but some players live for the last 20% because that’s where the inspiration lives.
  21. Yeah I think the origin stuff isn’t a ‘like for like’ comparison to the other gear out there claiming to do a similar thing. While the question will always be does it sound like… many of these boutique businesses (such as Wren and Cuff with their era correct Muff recreations) it will sound like the particular amp or pedal they have access to which might sound different form your pedal or amp from the same era. What Origin are doing is pretty cool and gonna make a lot of people happy who want the sound and ‘feel’ of those classic amps recreated as closely as possible in a compact form. Will my tube preamp set to sound like a B15 with eq tweaks sound like the Fifteen? No but it may sound close enough or closer than some other B15 recreations, it may sound good enough but I’ve never played a B15 to compare. Im gonna try and pick one up (mostly if a used one comes up) as I think the sound and way people are describing the feel would be the perfect direct to PA for the always on tone and with a simple twist of a knob it would provide the gritty tones I sounds get with other pedals. If anyone’s sending one back let me know if you’d be up for some trade and Px discussion I’ve got some gear I’d be up for discussing 😀
