It would be interesting to hear the Mxr m80 and m81 compared in this context

No regrets.

No remorse?

Gorgeous! If only...............

Surely the environmentally friendly option is to use the paper and card option rather than plastic packaging

Another mention for the Bach material.
There are a couple of Bach for bass books available on Amazon. Great music and will give you some great transferable ideas

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a workable step phaser, and aside from the Marshall regenerator, this seems to be the only other easily obtainable contender.

The trouble is that I can't seem to find any demos anywhere that use a bass. Do any of you chaps that own one have a demo of the step phase mode with bass?

Failing that, could anyone point me in the right direction to find one please?

Many thanks peeps

Maybe give the ehx glove a try. Can do raspy pretty well

I've been using wireless for close to 15 years.
I enjoy the freedom it gives and the lack of messy cabling on the floor.
Also with some of the venues I've played in and outdoor stages it gives me isolation from dodgy electrics.

For low to medium gain, I'm using a bass soul food, which is awesome in the mix, and an ehx glove added to it for lemmy esque drive.
Much like yourself I don't do distortion, and it's taken me a good while ( and a while load of cash) to get to these choices

I have both pedals.
I'm using the b for purple stuff on setting 1 - full and fat iirc
My key is sending the wet output to a di and then to pa via a killswitch, as when bypassed the pedal sends clean sound via the wet out despite the dry volume being off.
Using the pedal this way defeats any potential issues with low end loss ( not that I've noticed any!)
It has transformed the purple covers we do, giving more authenticity and depth to the bands sound.

The right person won IMO
All three finalists were genuinely deserving of those slots.

And Helen Sanderson is definitely going on 'the list' 😉

Just ordered one of these from GAK as I needed a distortion pedal for when my band covers Ace Of Spades (just doesn't quite work with a clean sound). After watching the various YouTube demos and reading this thread though, I'm now thinking I may actually use it as an always on pedal for warmth and growl and just crank it when I need a full on overdriven sound.
Should arrive tomorrow so looking forward to having a play with it at Saturday nights gig!

I'm using the ehx glove for that lemmy drive tone (in my situation it nails it!), and the bsf as always on grit.

Could I get a pic of the rear pls?

I've tried many many brands over the years, including many of the buzz/ trend brands.
All but Warwick red label, roto bass and swing bass left me cold and with a tone I couldn't work with.
These days I'm using 50-110 and couldn't be happier with my tone

Boss fb2

Looks like some sort of headphone amp

Ash down produce an octave effect which is allegedly based around the sub harmonic effect within their amps.

There are loads of octave pedals where you can have the effect added as subtly as you'd like.

The ehx glove might fit the bill too

I have played it with a standard 50-110 swing bass set tuned to drop c.
It worked better on some instruments than others. My old westbury track 2 nailed it for me
Sure it's a bit floppy and rattly but that's the sound !

Very nice.

I played three different levels of t bird the other day at Andertons.
The entry level bolt on neck sounded terrible, but played ok, whereas the classic (?) set neck epiphone kicked even the USA version to the curb.
The epiphone had a clarity and bite that the USA didn't. The USA sounded weak and lifeless to both myself and the guitarists I took with me.
The USA left me cold, and wondering why it cost over a thousand pounds more than the epiphone model

I see they've also done a blue plaque for Jon Lord

I use them as thickeners.
The c9 I have on the swell setting, and b9 on fat Hammond for doubling a la Jon Lord with the purple songs we do
Occasional chords, but normally doubling what I'm playing.
I've found the best solution sound wise for me is to run the pedals to di, with a killswitch, rather than switching the pedals on and off, since there is always clean sound coming through even with the clean volume on minimum

I'm gigging both on my board.
It really depends on the songs you're doing, as to which is more suited.
If I was buying from scratch again, I would probably go for the c, as it has a wide variety of tones available. Beware though - it doesn't track well below an open a, and if you're a swift player, quick quavers and semi quavers will probably not be picked up
