Spencer's work is excellent... I've enjoyed every filter I've used live.. & look forward to finding a Chromatron..

Simply for myself his GR2 remains his best sounding filter to- date... So easy to Dial in usable sounds & I've owned his Protons & Wonderlove's..... he just kept adding functionality' to his later filters.. the Core Sounds & Wet Squelch of the GR2 is the finest I've heard.

Funny' do you ever remember D'addario's XL Reds..? they marketed those as copper coated..? The outcome was Green & black finger ends... 😝 they briefly returned as EXP's but then dissapeered forever... These E.Bs Cobalts are expensive strings & if they don't sell in global figures.... They may hold the same fate...??

For people whom suffer from corrosive sweat ( shall we say) or people whom can make a set of strings become very dull & very dead quickly.... These strings fit the bill....

They turn green & become disgusting under your fingers.... E. B will probably stop manufacturing these strings it is a common issue & their are many other strings on the market that will serve you better.

These settings should work fine...

Try these settings...

Hello' just how do you have the internal dip switch's set...? this could be the issue..?

The Microbass 2 is a superb unit... Try combining the channels' engage the Tube sim & adjust the drive to taste..? I personally have the main volume maxxed & use the boost to taste... ( You can back off the main volume & use the boost for varying driven tones) I also run the unit with the 10db pad engaged... All in all this unit has a multitude of applications' unbeatable build quality... The sound is pretty much "baked in" but I've found it doesn't impart any unwanted "Colouring" of your sound unlike the Tech 21 stuff... Of which I've found to have a synthetic quality' in saying this I have a Tech 21 Q strip for additional EQ... which is neutral sounding & adds very little hiss indeed.... Explore the MB 2....i won't part with mine.

Excellent Sound Sample's & real quality filter sounds... 👏👏👏🙏🙏

Not a lot to choose between any of em' really.... Its a personal nuance.

Best of luck.

At this price they are in direct competition with the Cali 76 compact' which is the best I've heard & used.. Interestingly they have the H. P. F in a side chain also... I do like the monitoring illuminations.... Will have to demo it sometime.... & they have added a grit/ grind element which I find interesting also.... it all comes down to our ears in the end & just what we find a pleasing fatness if you will.

I use a T. C Electronic John Petrucci Dreamscape( Digital) ... Chorus' Flange' Vibrato & Tone prints available.. Pretty Good considering you can use all the Corona Chorus Prints also' I did have a Boss BF-2B Flanger (Analogue) that had been modded with the John Fromell mod' to make more T. C ( S C F) .. But the T. C' J P pedal does so much more... Just remember Not too much effect..

This Pedal will most probably be a winner for Boss' in a very competitive market.. But for myself like many others it leaves you slightly puzzled as to.... is the OC2 mode analogue ? & The Poly mode digital... & when combined are they mixed together as such..

Check out Jonathan Herrera's review of this pedal on the Moullon Forum 😁

I bought five sets of Fodera Nickel's 45 - 105 & I found them to be of an excellent quality & long lasting with even tone' & bright fundamentals... If I got dud strings from ANY manufacturer & I have had.... They go back... The only company I've had bad service from was D'ddarrio the rep I spoke to was a complete A-hole & very uncooperative.

I've tryed a few' Sadowsky' Tech 21 Q 'Strip' Lehle IQ DI' Aguliar Tone hammer But for myself nothing I've tryed better's the EBS Microbass II For functionality & quality sound' build quality' & a myriad of applications.. In this price range.

Hi Lee' firstly thankyou for your reply most informative & very interesting as to how to utilise & get another performance out of these pedals. The Q Strip is additional E Q & is a very accurate one also' I use the H P F & the L P F on the unit when I'm playing through my smaller combo's a SWR Spellbinder Blue or' a SWR Basic Black to filter out those lower frequencies when using the Octave especially'. The HOF I use infrequently mainly with a fretless & the tone prints in the Chorus... which work well together. I shall experiment with your suggestions & maybe even reconfigure the board ' Thanks again for your input most kind' Paulo.

The Q Strip works really well..... Big suprise.. & this board is really quiet' very little noise' which is always a bonus!! ( Can some kind person please explain how the flip' to use the effects loop on the GR2!!) Thank Q in advance.

The Groove Regulator was the first filter & the GR2 has various upgrades including internal dip switches.. & Wet & dry function blend ability... Of course there are many filters on the market' its all subjective' Checkout the American Talkbass site for the Gr2s reputation among fellow bassists.... Its a winner!!!
