Says it all [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showpost.php?p=8053242&postcount=137"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showpost.php...p;postcount=137[/url] The Line 6 M13 is DA THING ! This is not like any other multifx...[/quote] wow! sounds quite clear I'll lock myself up in music shops in my next two days off cheers

Thanks for the suggestion guys. I actually don't need amps simulation for what i'm doing now. I'll check the Line 6 Pod XT and the Line 6 M13 but i'm still more orientated towards the pedals option. Also because i don't feel like browsing thru hundreds of useless sounds to find those ones i need. cheers! .ric.

[quote name='MacDaddy' post='714041' date='Jan 15 2010, 05:18 PM']some multi fx are simple - Boss ME 50B, Line 6 Floor Pod. A multi is more convenient, one pedal including a tuner, meaning only one power supply etc. An advantage of pedals is that if one breaks you still have the others, with a multi if you break it the whole thing could stop working. I tend to buy things assuming they are going to work and look after them, so I'd go for the multi. This of course leads to the next problem of which one [/quote] One problem per time! If a use a multi fx do i still need i DI or i can go straight in the PA? thanks for you post, actually i didn't think of the option that something might go wrong and break. And according to Murphy this is going to happen 2 hours before your most important gig.

Hi guys, as said in my presentation I've been playing bass for relatively a long time but just stepped in the electronic music world, and its pedals and effects of course. I know more or less which range of sounds i would like to have and I'm kinda figuring out which pedals i would need. However my guitarist friends suggested me a multieffect. They make a point saying that i can get a really wide range of sounds, but i'm a bit wary about those little starship and i think i will just get confused with buttons and digital displays. On the other hand a pedal rack (i was thinking of 4-5 pedals + DI) is more simple and visually straightofrward: 5 pedals, on/off, but of course the range of options is more limited. What is your opinion about that?

[quote name='BOD2' post='2290' date='May 19 2007, 02:54 PM'][b]COMPRESSORS[/b] Audio compression is a fairly simple, yet often misunderstood process. At its simplest a compressor reduces the difference between the loudest and quietest levels in a signal (or piece of music). It does this by reducing the gain (volume) of the louder parts of the signal without changing the quieter parts. It is this ability to leave the quieter parts untouched that makes it different from merely adjusting the overall volume of the signal. If you simply used the volume control to reduce the louder parts of the signal, then the quieter parts would become even quieter. Similarly, if you use the volume control to raise the quiet parts in volume then the louder parts would also be raised, becoming too loud. [...] If you play slap bass then the slaps and pops will often be louder and leap out more than normal bass notes. A compressor can reduce the difference in volume between these so that the overall sound is more even.[/quote] If i understood everything it means that you really made a good job writing this. Congrats and thank you! There were 2-3 things that i never completely understood about this matter before reading this article.

well done man! wakin' up is really catchy but i think volumes should be more balanced. I still have to listen it with proper headphones so this is not my last word Late o clock sounds much more professional. About the technical stuff i don't deal too much with it. I'm the dumbarse dropping beats and basslines and my bass go straight in the pc thru a mixer. But I'm not looking for the same polished sound as yours, i'm heavily effecting it, that's make a difference. Without make up i would struggle much more to get your sound.

hey man, i'm listening to your tunes, really well made. My ears are well trained to the myspace filter and i notice that the sounds are really cool. Nice atmosphere too. Check our website and see if you like our songs. We sometimes join ableton-electronic night, you might be interested if your not into it already. keep us updated with your uploads cheerio .ric.

Hi there! I started playing "properly" (and i'm still going on!) but few years ago i swapped to pick for your same reason. It took me a while to get used even if, playing also some guitar, the pick didn't feel like a completely alien object in my hand. What i think is that if you play punk rock you just need attack and aggression and this doesn't come with any technique. It's all about the feel and the energy, trying different kinds of picks and trying to play in different positions along the strings you will work out YOUR sound. rock on!!! [quote name='TGEvans' post='702503' date='Jan 6 2010, 09:53 AM']Right then. After playing for about 10 years properly, I mean using my fingers. I have been involved in a project where the tone and attack of a pick sits better In the process. Just wondered if there are any tutorials out there that would give me some pointers or anything that may be of use. Anything really. Im quite enjoying using a pick but feel that there may be something missing with my technique.T[/quote]

I'll try to make it! might see you then .ric.

Dude your review is brilliant! You should ask Electro Harmonix to pay, I'm already going to buy it! [quote name='Silent Fly' post='152485' date='Mar 6 2008, 04:36 PM']Hi, I had a little bit of time to try the Knockout and I decide to write some comments about it. I hope you will find them interesting. [b]* What it is[/b] It is an equalizer- nothing more nothing less. I run the pedal in a frequency analyzer and it confirms that. There might be something else involved but I can’t hear it. [b]* How it works[/b] Essentially, the incoming signal is divided in 3 parts: dry (the input signal), low (everything below 85Hz) and high (everything above 6.5 kHz). The low and high filters are quite aggressive (7 and 6 poles) so nothing below/above the threshold frequency escapes. In other words, the 3 knobs add to the output signal: dry signal, everything below 85Hz and everything above 6.5 kHz. The diagram shows how this works. Because the 3 parts of the signal are mixed after the processing, if the 3 knobs are all at 0, the output is zero. If low is 0, bass is 0 and dry is 12:00 o’clock, the output signal is a copy the input signal.[/quote]
