Crap I have just ordered one. I had some vouchers that made it look affordable hence pulling the trigger straight away

I was looking at this pedal more like a functional tool rather than a box that makes sounds.

You guys have convinced me I will order one

I know this is a very late reply but incase anyone reads this and is thinking about one. I had in the early 90s (got it in 93 I think and traded it around 2000) RBX1000 which was the top of the RBX range. It was a very good bass, very light and I thought the range of sounds I got out of it was great. Only thing I would say that let it down was the electronics and I used very early outboard Sadowsky preamp with it which made it sound fantastic. I have often thought about tracking one of these down for the sake of it but I only play 5 strings last 25 years so I would probably never touch it.

Very curious about the XS-1 pedal. Mostly to just change key, up or down 1-2 steps and nothing more than that. How are you guys finding it? I does it cope in a band setting?

How do you rate the Frantabit against the Geiger Counter?

Just out of curiosity which bitcrushers do you have and how do you rate them? I have been thinking about maybe getting a Frantabit next time Taylor has a build.

All the signature Steel Panther pedals

Very excited about this amp. I usually don’t change them often and I have been using my Subway D800 for many years and this is the first amp to make me take a note and I will be keeping an eye on this thread.

Just to add here again for anyone interested, I got a reply from Taylor and he said to get that long reverb you need to max the bass, treble and room to get that long reverb then you can play over it. This is not meant to be a freeze pedal so you only get a long reverb on that note up to a minute which you can then play over with your clean tone. I really like this pedal and its the first time I feel like getting an expression pedal.

You are probably right since I have it set quite subtle so even when I have the Exp fully open the trail will disapear quicker than I thought. Maybe other owners/users can chime in and set it straight for us.

I have never really used reverb on bass before. I have played with the TC Infinite as a practicing tool and thats where I first tried it. So I think reverb can sound great but it has its place and like you said above it has to be subtle, less is more type of thing. I think it sounds great and I am planning to use it with fretless and one of the bands I play in is a country band and in the more slow and more accustinc songs I was hoping to add subtle reverb. As in the sound I dont have much to compare to (I have Wampler Ethereal for guitar mostly but I did try it on bass just to see if I would want to explore it further) and I think its great. I like it that I can mix the signals and then the size of the reverb. I do find the bass and treble subtle but I need to explore it more. But it really does add that something in quieter songs. Now the extra features, I really like the 'Size' and I can see myself exploring that. Build up sound scapes etc. The one I can see myself using is having the 'Exp' knob at 12 o'clock which allows you to play a note and it slowly trails off as you build up other sounds as you add if that makes sense. Fully clockwise its infinite which can sound really interesting such as ending songs etc. I am still trying to figure 'In Lvl' out and I have emailed Taylor about it. I thought it was like the TC Infinite, you could play a note/chord and that would sound infinite and you could then play over it but its not the case or at least I am not able to recreate it. But for the sound and the 'Size' function its a keeper for me.

Probably not the most exciting pedal for bass players. I wanted to add a bit of reverb to a band that plays a bit accustic and quiet at times so I thought adding the reverb as an option to the chorus already on the board. I am looking forward to exploring the possibilities of this pedal.

Just got this today and already gave it a spin. Sounds great and is different enough from my Octbvre and T47. The sound options are great and a lot to explore and as Taylor suggests to pair it with a filter (preferrably Xerograph) and that is so true. I have read a lot about these and early ones had a bleed from the synth voices but this one is really quiet. Really looking forward to see what I can do with it.
