The OA is on order so it’s hypothetical atm. I’ll possibly just straight swap it and for fly gigs just live without the chorus would be the long term best solution

That looks pretty good too me

so I’m replacing #6 with the new AO. (#7 is under the board, Thumpinator) move the chorus #8 in and put the AO very last ? Confusing myself now 😜🤪😪

Thanks. I’m going to go for the middle version. I think the Ultra might be a bit too much if that’s possible or too much for me anyway. I will be nice to have the DI for support gigs when traveling light, straight to PA. Silly question but this now needs to go very last in the signal chain in order to include every pedal before it if not plugged into an amp, just direct to a pa ?

Age old answer to the age old question. Case closed (rule of thumb as a start point also listed above) what ever the order there is always something that’s not quite right. move one, it affects something else slightly out of date photos but the running order is the same

That’s what they are doing. 7string guitar, down half a step to Bb EB etc then dropping the Bb to Ab. Pretty darn low. Do they really even need a bass player ? I do love all the heavy heavy stuff but I’m a rock bassist at heart. Thinking I’m possibly the wrong person for the job.

Ok so I’m seriously looking at getting one of theses. What’s the difference between them all ? There is the smaller one, the original version and a deluxe version with a graphic eq on it. I’m leaning towards the original version Supposed my question is what’s the advantage to the deluxe and how does the smaller slimed version hold up ? There is roughly £100 difference between all three models sooooo what are your opinions and experience? Cheers Dan

This is very true. Just don’t know how well it would work playing everything a whole octave higher. I tune standard EADG with the cover band I play in and go down to Eb with my original band. I have on occasion gone as low as BEAD but can’t say i was overly impressed with it. The future project the guitars are both in Drop Ab. That to me is far too much, would you even hear it even if you had an amp that could reproduce it ? So maybe the octave higher is the way forward providing I end up taking the gig. This band is a lot heavier than what I’m used to

And what tuning?

Personally I’m not a fan of tuning that low. I don’t mind setting up BEAD but that’s pushing it. Down a half step to flat, then drop tune to Ab ...... how low can you go indeed 🤪 as far as amps, I’ve got a genz Benz 410 & 115., shuttle 600w and also Orange terror 1000. I have a low pass filter on my board but that might save my speakers but like you say will it reproduce the low notes or die trying?

Lol nope. What scale bass do you use ?

And me, don’t usually go that low hence needing advice.

Hi. Wasn’t sure what thread to put this in so hopefully it’s ok in here. In short I’ve been asked to drop tune to Drop Ab !!! That’s lower than I’ve ever imagined. I’ve to 3 decent basses all are four string all are 34in scale. The lowest I’ve ever gone is BEAD any and all advice is welcome on basses that can handle that tuning and string gauges, I’ve no clue. 135 is nice on a B thanks in advance

Yeah I briefly tried it the other way around. The big, full version of the AO would be a good replacement for the VT BASS, I’m thinking of getting the smaller version and keeping all three. But now I’m back to ware I was before I started this thread, thinking about changing the VT ??!?!?!!! Arrragh 😜🤪 the VT is great, more gain and growl than every need, add the B3 to it and it’s, in my opinion perfect its just the pedal quest for the holy grail.

Just out of interest what order do you put them in ? (Just to clarify it’s the Alpha Omicron I’m looking at, smaller one) guessing as long as it’s before the SansAmp the B3 and AO doesn’t really matter who Is first as I’m not likely to be running them together. But if I did what works best for you ?

Thanks for your input. From the YouTube videos I’ve seen I’m leaning towards the AO, The VT is always on, thinking it would be nice to go between the B3 and AO, mix it up a bit. The Duality might be a bit too much

I’ve got a b3 and hear the alpha omega was very similar what how do they compare?

That I pretty good summing up. I’ll look into it. Cheers

As of now. Recent rebuilt. Low pass filter under neath second from last in chain

Ok thank you for reply. So you would recommend the EHX over it ? Drive wise I use a Tech21 VTbass with a Darkglass B3k going into it. Recently dug out my old Boss overdrive for fuzz but it kills the low end so I’m definitely looking for a decent fuzz pedal

Been seriously looking at one of theses. Thoughts and opinions please

Thanks for reply. That’s what I liked about the MB the warm tube sound. I’ve got one permanently mounted next to an amp head (Genz-Benz shuttle 600) and it sounds great it’s my favourite compressor ever that’s why I brought a second one but it’s give me nothing but trouble since I brought it. It’s hopefully going back fingers crossed so it’s a question of what next. The DG. SS is what I’ve got my eye on. Tube style warmth is the destination. Running tubes on a board is more trouble than it’s worth (separate power supply etc etc) need a compressor of some description anyway

Ok so the Markbass Compressore I have just brought new turns out to be faulty. I’m the process of trying to return it it’s over the 30days (about 6weeks) but anyways whats the verdict on the darkglass super sim? Any good? What else do you recommend? Cheers

Will do cheers
