oldslapper Posted December 21, 2021 Author Share Posted December 21, 2021 I bought a Boss FT-2 the other day. Sounded great, but made me realise that “synth” is more what I’m after for the music we write. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas it was the reason I got rid of mine. However there are tons of great presets, especially from our own Quatschmacher 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually sent Source Audio an email asking if they were going to produce a 'knob tweeking' version, to their credit they replied to my idiotic question but it was an emphatic no! They reckon it adds 2 years development time to produce a hardware version of what the software could do apart from the increase in manufacturing costs. Shame really but understandably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldslapper Posted December 21, 2021 Author Share Posted December 21, 2021 I do simple. I like simple. I play P basses. Simple 😂 However, for this project I am using a 5 string MM, so that’s more strings and controls than my brain usually has to deal with. An additional element needs to be as simple as possible. 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulo m Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) All of these filter choices are subjective & I accept that. I have an opposite opinion with the MXR B.E.F. I found it to be way too Quacky' with laser beam type effects' No down sweep opition.. & it simply didn't perform or deliver a usable sound for myself in a live situation. The 3 Leaf filters to my ears deliver a superior quality sound' with greater user functionality.. & interaction with other effects.

I had a really long play with one once, and couldn't get it to do the 'squelchy' sound I had in my head. Solid pedal, but envelope filters are an idiosyncratic bunch - almost like playing a second instrument at times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 At the height of my addiction I think I had about 25. Cheap stuff, stupid expensive stuff, in between. I've now got my Spectrum, FX25, Hotone mini thingy, and the BSW. The guy from Lovetone is now working with ThorpyFX and I believe there will be an updated Meatball at some point. That is going to cost me money! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
