CameronJ Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 That’s very strange. Nothing like that has ever happened with mine. How are you powering it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be worth contacting SA themselves - their customer service is excellent and they’ll definitely help you out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quatschmacher Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 It’s still having an intermittent problem even running off its own supply. Could it be my house electrics or simply a fault? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronJ Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 (edited) Sounds like a fault to me. Head over to this thread on Talkbass: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/source-audio-sorcerers-society-s-a-s-s-part-3.1056621/ and get in touch with rsmith601 (president of Source Audio). He’ll sort you out in a jiffy. Edited November 23, 2017 by CameronJ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience of filter pedals is increasingly that they're quite delicate beasts and input level, type of string, playing style can have a big impact upon how they sound....so I sold it. I found the MXR one to be the same to be honest. Yet the Groove Regulator is fantastic, as is the Fwonkbeat. The Engima Q Balls is variable - good on some basses, suspect on others! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, this is true. They work better using single pickups and better on the front pickup I find. The MXR one is definitely set up with active basses in mind as I had to set it to about 3 o’clock and above to get it to work on my passive basses. Never tried the GR or GR2. The Fwonkbeta is fantastic but I found that my Qballs gets those sounds for me and it works great with my basses. This is probably obvious but one needs to have the tone control on the bass wide open otherwise there aren’t any high frequencies to sweep.

Al Krow Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 (edited) Congratulations. (You're completely bonkers in the nicest possible way, but I know you've been GASing for this for a while! and there again I'm about to get a six string bass, so I'm sure the same thing could reasonably be said of me. And in my case that wasn't even planned, it just happened...) Looking forward to your detailed review when you've had a chance to put it through its paces and maybe even upload some sound clips of it in your favourite settings?

Looking forward to your detailed review when you've had a chance to put it through its paces and maybe even upload some sound clips of it in your favourite settings? Yep, it feels very decadent. Consider it taking one for the team; the more money Olivier earns, the more he can plough into the cheaper 9V filter he’s working on, which you guys can buy. I might need to purge some other pedals soon in light of this. Managed to shift my MXR BEF and Octamizer this week so it’s not so bad. and yes, I’ll get some clips done.

So at the latest, I'm expecting it 6th December? Tbh I'm having so much fun with the zero, I'm not really missing it yet.

Proton' Wonderlove' & GR2 the latter being the most responsive' with ease of use.. really' far better sounding response from the filter..I.M.O & when paired with octave & drive pedals it too my ears' is just more flexible & easier to arrive at useable sounds Quickly!! This is all subjective of course' but in my experience & also looking @ the price they command on the used market....the GR2 is a desirable unit indeed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I then have to switch to bypass and back in order to restore functionality. Have you experienced this, @Al Krow, @CameronJ, @GisserD, @BNB71? I’ve had a reply from Nathan Navarro of Source Audio: Apparently the LED not always moving on is normal. The locking up thing is a bug and one which he was able to replicate on their gear so he’s passed it to the engineers and hopefully there’ll be a bug fix. It basically happens if you cycle quickly through the “option” button. @CameronJ, @GisserD, @Al Krow, @BNB71 Edited November 28, 2017 by Quatschmacher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
