CliveT Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 On your MXR bass octave deluxe do you prefer the mid boost at 400 hz or 850 hz? I can hear merits in both and am still deciding what's best on my P bass so would be interested in what you guys prefer. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 400 hz for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Try both - but try them WITH a band mix. Both let it cut through the mix differently, the most effective one will depend on how guitars or keys are EQ'd. I prefered the 400 when playing at home/solo, but found the 850 better in a band mix.

pantherairsoft Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I don't use the pedal anymore, but when I was using it, it would of been either a fretted Roscoe with Demeter Pre, or feet less Roscoe with Bart pre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] After trying both in the mix 850 did seem to cut though best for me too. It just emphasized the tone of my passive basses better. With my set-up 400 hz sounded too harsh and different from the bypassed tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
