Is the touch-wah effect any good? is it the same as their touch wah pedal? Cheers.

Is the compressor in the One any good?

It's a fantastic pedal - the okto side is my personal favourite octaver, the tracking is excellent, and it sounds awesome. I do love the fuzz side for low-gain synthy sounds, but don't have much call for it with gigs at the moment. Like you, it's been on the board for ages.

Used the Multistomp as an emergency last night when asked to do some guitar depping, which is a (thankfully) very rare event! Spring Reverb and the Z Tron both did a decent job on guitar- what a useful little box to have. Project 07_09_2025 (2).mp4

Hi mate, this looks great. Good job! Eyeing up this kit too - how does it play? Does the neck feel good? Too chunky? Thanks!

Nice board! I like the look of the Boss. I assume the Octaver is solid- what about the envelope filter?

Played the opening night at Wilderness with our functions band The Enrichments. Still absolutely buzzing! VID_20250801_015025_927.mp4

A few thoughts on the new multistep for live use after some gigs with it - It's so easy to scroll through the different fx within a patch. I never felt like it was too tricky to hit the scroll buttons on stage, or to see what effect I was scrolling to. The tuner is great. Very low noise. I only really use the following effects live: The ztron filter is great - I actually prefer it to the analog filters I've been using live. The analog octaver is also good, especially after having low expectations reading some comments. Maybe it misses the last 5% mid-warmth of an actual analog pedal, but I really didn't miss that, especially when playing live. I don't think I'd have really noticed a difference if I hadn't done side-by-side comparisons with a couple of octavers when I received the Multistomp. Compressors seem OK - haven't played much with p compressors before, but on low settings these seem to add a nice bit of thump in an IEM mix. And as a bonus, load in now entirely fits in one hard-case, which has been weirdly satisfying. What a fantastic bit of kit. Given the the eq, reverb and mod available, it's amazing it's so cheap. HPF and LPF alone often cost as much, let alone a versatile eq pedal. My only nagging worry is the long-term reliability, but that's based purely on unearned cynicism towards digital fx - it seems more than rugged enough.

Hi mate. Having just finished a run of functions and wedding gigs using nothing but a bass, Multistomp and di, I think it feels really sturdy. It has already survived being knocked off an 18" sub onto a hard stage (thanks sound engineer) and picked up and dropped onto a tiled floor (thanks toddler). I've never gigged with a multi-fx, and was a little worried about reliability and sturdiness too, but it seems solid so far. Time will tell, though!

This arrived today! Had a little time for a quick play, and first impressions are very, very good.

Not from the last couple of gigs, but a few weeks ago we played a fundraiser for my boy's school- great party, organiser had got hold of a decent stage and we had a lovely old time! Raised a good amount, too. A little clip of our We Are Family/Alright Now fun- but not much bass playing... VID-20240714-WA0014.mp4 And here's a little clip of a Prince tune. VID-20240714-WA0010.mp4

Welcome! That looks like a great practice/recording space!

Don't often post clips here, but here's a little clip from a fundraiser we played a few weeks ago... complete with some dodgy moves from yours truly! VID-20240714-WA0010.mp4

When you think you may have too much gear......?

That gives them a lovely excuse to start buying louder toms and cymbals to match, though... -
We have also had to do that with our 6 piece weddings band. I feel quite lucky with our 'main' band, which is also the biggest earner. Us 5 core members are all great friends, and there's deps on call that we have got to know well over the years. I look forward to our gigs as much as I used to when this group got together almost 10 years ago. I think it helps that our singer, who is an exceptional front man, is very humble, and egos are left at the door! Currently depping in a few bands where that is definitely not the case, and the rising tension is palpable.

It's so easy to do! Pedals seem to creep into my life- even though gigging life almost never calls for more than a very occasional octaver/envelope filter for the stubby stuff, there are eqs, preamps, Chinese knock-offs and fuzzes hidden away in the practice room.

Absolutely love them- Californication, By The Way and Stadium Arcadium were the soundtracks to my teenage years, and I still think Californication in particular is a very, very good album.

Hi mate, I have done this recently, using a Warman humbucker in the traditional stingray spot. I used 250k pots and it sounded fine. I know someone here suggested differently, but I would strongly suggest having parallel and single coil options available- I didn't find series very useful in a passive setup. I used the single coil closest to the neck most of all- one of the few times our band's usually dour sound engineer has complimented the sound of my bass was when using this!

Also- I can't find any for sale anywhere in the UK. They must have gone fast! If anyone knows where I might pick one up, I'd be very grateful. Thanks.
